The renovated railway line from Anuradhapura to Omanthai was declared open by Transport Minister Bandula Gunawardana today (13).
The railway track was closed for nearly 6 months for renovation and it was completed with the help of Indian line of credit.
The railway track is built to operate trains at 100 km per hour and a train hauled by Class M11 950 exceeded 100 km per hour speed during the trail run.
