The Department od Railways says that steps will be taken to reopen the mobile canteens aboard trains from next month.
G.W Sisira Kumara said that suppliers have been chosen for these canteens.
Railway canteens were closed earlier in May due to the lack of a supplier. In addition, the canteens at the Colombo Fort, Maradana and Kandy railway stations were also closed.
 
Sisira Kumara noted that as there was an added condition of the supplier to be registered with the tourist board when calling for tenders, there was difficulty in finding a supplier.
