The upgrading of the SLTB Pottuvil sub-depot, which has been operating under the Akkaraipattu Depot since 2005, into a main depot was initiated by Transport, Highways and Mass Media Minister Dr. Bandula Gunawardhana yesterday.
A large crowd was present to witness the occasion and appreciate the Ministers’ initiative to upgrade the SLTB Pottuvil sub-depot to a main depot, which was a long felt need.
The aim of this project is to further streamline and expand public passenger transport services by coordinating the Pottuvil and Arugambay tourism zones.
At a cost of Rs. 60 million, the construction work is to be done by the State Development and Construction Corporation operating under the Ministry of Transport and Highways.
