The Railways Department said that train services from Colombo Fort were temporarily disrupted due to workers at the Dematagoda Yard withdrawing from duties on claims that proper action was not being taken to find a fellow employee who had gone missing.

However, the body of the missing employee at the Dematagoda Railway Yard had been discovered from an unguarded well within the compound.

Earlier yesterday (6), the train services from Colombo Fort had been temporarily disrupted. As a result, the ‘Podi Menike’ and ‘Badulla Odyssey’ trains, which were scheduled to depart from Colombo Fort to Badulla yesterday morning, did not operate.
