The Hon. Gnanamuththu Srineshan concluded his speech by urging the Minister to restore the former railway timetable and rolling stock, arguing that doing so would return daily revenue to Rs. 1,000,000. He highlighted that the current situation results in a daily revenue loss of Rs. 700,000, framing the restoration as a financially prudent measure.

Please grant me one more minute. If you restore the former timetable and rolling stock, daily revenue can reach Rs. 1,000,000 again. We should not forfeit Rs. 700,000 a day. I place this request with the Hon. Minister and conclude.
