Tight security at rail stations
Security at railway stations will remain tight with intensified checks being carried out to provide maximum security to commuters according to the Sri Lanka Railway (SLR).
Speaking to The Morning Leader General Manager, SLR, T. L Gunaruwan said “Security has been provided right throughout at the stations, but now we are forced to intensify it in light of the recent violence.”
After the January 11 explosion at the Fort Railway Station, which injured one person, security was beefed up at all railway stations amid fears of more attacks. The Fort Railway Station blast was another in the series of attacks this year targeting civilians.
Gunaruwan however said that there is no way of guaranteeing security at the stations in light of the situation today, but that the officials were doing their best to ensure maximum security. Gunaruwan stated that security at railway stations would be kept tight as long as the situation demanded it.
