Hon. Wasantha Yapabandara, Attorney at Law,— To ask the Minister of Transport and Highways,—
(a) Will he inform the House—

(ii) whether there is a possibility for developing a double-track line for the Kandy-Matale Railway Line, which consists of only a single-track at present;
(iii) if so, whether a feasibility study has been undertaken in this regard; and
