ISLAMABAD: Some Chinese locomotives which had developed cracks in the under-frame during the train operation, have now been rectified.
According to a spokesman of the Ministry of Railways, he said that a Chinese Company, CSR Ziyang supplied 29 locomotives during 2014 to Pakistan Railways.
A few of these locomotives developed cracks in the under-frame during train operations.
The supplier firm was approached under the warranty clause of the agreement for rectification of the defect.
The defective portion of all the locomotives was completely replaced by the Chinese firm at Pakistan Locomotive Factory, Risalpur within the target time period during May 2016.
Presently, all the locomotives are now operating satisfactorily and working the trains as per designated speed at full capacity.
