The Department of Railways stated that the Sagarika train, which was traveling from Beliatta to Colombo, had to be halted due to the obstruction.
Meanwhile, train services along the up-country line, which had been suspended since the 19th of October, resumed early this morning (23).
According to the Department of Railways, two trains—one operating from Kandy to Polgahawela and another from Kandy to Colombo Fort—commenced operations this morning as part of the service restoration.
