Read this Pls Nazi !
Nearly 38 new railway carriages out of 100 which were imported from China at a cost of 550 million rupees, are still lying idle at railway garage due to severe defects in technology and brakes, claimed All Ceylon Railway Employees General Union (ACREGU) Secretary Sumathipala Manawadu.
Manawadu told The Nation that the Sri Lankan Government had blindly imported these railway carriages from China, when the requirement was to import new power sets.
What s the purpose in purchasing railway carriages when they are not compatible with the technology of the train engines available in Sri Lanka? It would have been better if the Ministry of Transport had ordered power sets which are essential to upgrade the speed of the trains, so that the commuters do not have to spend much time in travelling, he opined.
