Pakistan Railways to get 50 engines from India on rent

[mohib]

ISLAMABAD, Aug 12: Pakistan Railways is considering a proposal to get 50 locomotives on rent from India to help normalise its rail operation from Khyber to Karachi.
​

Pakistan Railways is currently facing acute locomotive crisis as dozens of regular passenger trains on branch lines have been suspended while on main line, trains are delayed for almost 12 hours, stranding passengers on railway platforms and public areas.
Hiring locomotives from India is subject to approval by the government, says Saeed Akhter, General Manager (operations) of Pakistan Railways while talking to Dawn. A comprehensive action plan was approved during a high-level meeting chaired by the Minister for Railways Ghulam Ahmad Bilour here on Thursday.
An inquiry was recently made with the Indian Railways, and there was willingness on their part.
Subject to approval of the federal government, Pakistan Railways would consider the Indian offer if it proves to be feasible.
The situation has now improved following visit of Pakistani Foreign Minister Hina Rabbani Khar to New Delhi, and the situation is quite conducive now.
However, Mr Akhtar said that Korean, Chinese and Czech Republic have also shown keenness to rent out locomotives to Pakistan Railways.
“We will advertise and pursuing a transparent procedure whosoever gets the contract, the responsibility of maintenance of locomotives will be on supplier and Pakistan Railways will pay the rent on daily basis. Pakistan Railways will only provide the staff, he said.
The marathon meeting was attended by senior officials handling technical and operational matters of railways.

the only good thing in Indian railways is Delhi metro (which is not even part of Indian railways i think) baki to sab kuch aisa hi hai . so i dont think pakistan railways gonna get any benefit from renting these engines from Indian railways

 

[gazoomartian]

The minster of railway ku tta first destroyed the railway, then brought proposal from India. I bet you anything its HIS rental company that train will come thru.

And how long will it take Zaradri to approve it? only 1.5 secs, if that. This has already been approved.

Bilour went to Sikh temple and prayed, Gru Nanak saheb listened and now Bilour will be looting the country.
Doesnt locomotives mean engines that run off coal? if so, Pak will be buying coal from India also, part of the package. But where will we pay from? More loans from Free Masons??

samajh mein nahi aata kh kya samjha jaey. ub to dimagh bhi kaam nahi karta sonchtey sonchtey

why don't they import cheap chinese locomotives..


[hilar][hilar][hilar]oo..they did it and finally failed them badly..chinese even import GE or French locomotives for high speed railway..

Chinese can only copy the engines(they got a fighter jet of america in 1990s',cruise missiles (tow hawk)from pakistan tribal areas which finally was also delivered with cheaper version to pakistan named as babur :) )....

India dont need to lease locomotives to pakistan,we are ourself short of train,wags,locomotives !!
Pakistan should buy from china (bigsmile)(bigsmile) or iran which has just learnt how to make its 1st diesel locomotives!!
