The Railways Department has requested the public to be cautious when travelling by train during the Poson festive season.

Railway Commercial Superintendent Sisira Kumara said that there are narrow bridges along the northern railway line up to Anuradhapura.

He said that in the past many people were exposed to danger as a result of travelling in an unsafe manner.

Hence,  the Sri Lanka railway service has requested the public to refrain from travelling on the footboard or travelling in any other unsafe manner.
