The damage caused by the Rajarata Rajina train derailment at Hikkaduwa last Monday exceeds Rs. 100 million, said GM Railways Department Dr. Lalithasiri Gunaruwan. Three commuters died on the spot and a large number of commuters were injured in the accident.

The GMR said that a committee was appointed last Tuesday to look into the accident. He said that the four-member committee of inquiry will reveal the cause for the derailment.

In the meantime an interim report by the District Transport Inspector was submitted to the committee of inquiry.
