EXPENDITURE OF IIFA TRAIN RS 80000 PER DAY. INCOME RS 6000

It is reported that the intercity train commenced from Katunayake to Colombo based on the iifa cinema festival has become completely unsuccessful.

Employees of the institution state that the income was less than Rs 135000 though 2400000 of rupees have been spent for the traveling of the train during the month of June by the managing authority. Rs 40000 should be paid for the department of railway by the air port and aviation authority for one destination of the train, and its one journey has limited for3 passengers.

  Traveling fees is Rs 1500 per passenger. It is reported that iifa train travels twice per day. Air port sources mention that the rejection of traveling by that train by passengers is the main reason for its futility. One senior officer who expressed his views on this matter with us mentioned that though he had being working for several years under different governments and ministers, he had not seen a government that jeopardize state property and public money for the coverage of their political incapability. 

It is an unfortunate situation that for an income of Rs 6000, spending Rs 80000 and keeping this sort of a ruler will be a miracle of the world.
