Navy provides safe passenger transport service at Kurinchankerny bridge
Sri Lanka Navy made arrangements to provide safe passenger transport service at the Kurinchankerny bridge from yesterday following the capsize of a passenger ferry which killed six persons, including children.
The Navy said the residents in the area will be able to use this mode of transportation until the construction of the Kurinchankerny Bridge in Kinniya, Trincomalee is completed.
Following the directives of Commander of the Navy, Vice Admiral Nishantha Ulugetenne this initiative was set in motion taking into account the difficulties faced by the residents and school children, crossing the lagoon on a daily basis, due to the construction of the Kurinchankerny Bridge.
Accordingly, the Navy deployed a Lagoon Craft capable of carrying 25 passengers safely at a time under the supervision of the Eastern Naval Command.
The Lagoon Craft will be in service from 7.00 a.m. to 8.00 a.m. and from 12.00 noon to 2.00 p.m. each day. Further, the Navy erected a temporary jetty to allow passengers to board the vessel safely.
