Cabinet Media Spokesperson, Dr. Nalinda Jayatissa, confirmed today that the reason for the crash of a Sri Lanka Air Force training jet in the Wariyapola area has not yet been revealed.
At the media briefing to announce cabinet decisions today (26), journalists questioned whether it was appropriate to make such a statement when the committee report on the plane crash had not yet been released, as Minister Bimal Ratnayake had recently stated that the plane crash was due to pilot error.
Responding to this, the Minister stated that the report on the plane had been released and that the report on the plane crash had not yet been released.
