ÇOLOMBO (News 1st); The ferry used by the Road Development Authority (RDA) to transport goods and passengers from Kurikattuwan Jetty of Punguduthivu Island to Nainativu Island in Jaffna was in a state of poor shape for several months and was recently fixed with the contribution of Sri Lanka Navy.
As this ferry had been in poor order for months, it also hampered the daily activities of the Nainativu islanders. Furthermore, this has been a major setback to the development work being carried out at the Nagadeepa Rajamaha Viharaya on the sidelines of the State Vesak Festival as well as the transportation of goods and machinery related to the road carpeting project on the Nainativu Island.
