Maithri travels in the train

- Dec 21, 2015

We are in posses of a photograph of President Maithripala Sirisena travelling in a train in Italy when President visited Italy recently. The President travelled to the city from the airport in an ordinary train crowded with commuters without a chair to sit.

This is a rare photograph when compared with the western countries where the state leaders travel in VVIP vehicles with a huge security convoy.

When can there be an era where politicians use public transport services.
