Indian High Commissioner Santosh Jha visited the restored Northern Railway line on Monday (01), rehabilitated under a USD 5 million Indian grant. 

Santosh Jha said the project forms part of the larger USD 450 million post-Cyclone Ditwah reconstruction package.

“Restoring connectivity, accelerating recovery!” he said in a post on ‘X’. 

The Northern Railway line, a vital transport link connecting Jaffna and Kankesanthurai with the rest of the country, had been severely damaged by Cyclone Ditwah.

Five bridges on the northern railway line had been severely damaged during Cyclone Ditwah last year. (Newswire)
