“This would also be very convenient for railway commuters and this is the reason we decided to launch this project,” Transport and Civil Aviation Minister Nimal Siripala De Silva said at the signing of the agreement in this regard. He said that they will also try conduct Railway Department transactions especially in rural stations via this ATM.”
