Sri Lanka Railways has taken steps to increase raids to nab passengers travelling without tickets.
Frequent inspections to nab errant passengers were suspended due to the Covid-19 pandemic.
Due to this, people are more inclined to travel by train without tickets and the initial raids will be based on Maradana and Colombo Fort Railway Stations.
Meanwhile, the Railways Station Master’s Association said that nearly Rs.225,000 was collected from 72 passengers who travelled without tickets from the Maradana Railway Station from August upto now.
