Dr. Frank Wingler has long
battled the railway authorities
in his voluntary efforts to
improve the service. Despite the
high investment and the recent
overseas assisted rehabilitation
programmes, there is not a
single mile of stable,
long-lasting and nearly
maintenance-free and hump-free
rail track in Sri Lanka, until
this year, that can compete with
thousands of miles of
rehabilitated rail tracks in
other developing countries like
in India, China, Mongolia,
Korea, Morocco, West Africa,
South Africa, New Zealand etc.,
he says. |
