Sri Lanka, June 13 -- The Committee on Public Accounts has recommended an audit into the daily losses incurred due to train cancellations.

This decision was made during a parliamentary meeting held to discuss the Railway Department's 2023 Auditor General's report and current performance.

The committee noted the insufficient number of audit and management committee meetings held, and questioned former Ministry Secretaries and former General Managers of Railways on this matter.

Former officials attributed the disruption in management committee meetings to the COVID-19 pandemic.

COPA has also recommended that the Railway Department submit a detailed report on its financial progress over the past five years.
