The Government is planning to extend the Yaldevi train service from Vavuniya to Kankasenthurei, the Railways Department sources said. 

The Yaldevi train currently operates from Colombo to Vavuniya and with this extension; commuters living in the North will be vastly benefited.

The railway track from Vavuniya to Kankasenthurei will be constructed by using local funds and resources and with the fullest support and blessings of all communities living in the Northern Province.
 
The project has been given a key priority among the massive development projects implemented by the Government in the North Province. The move will connect the people living in the South and North improving their unity, friendship, trust and cultural ties, sources added.
