Engine fault delays rail traffic

Published November 10, 2005

THATTA, Nov 9: Railway passengers had to face inconvenience on Wednesday morning when a locomotive of the Bolan train developed a fault and remain stranded for over four hours at the Ran Pathani railway station near Jangshahi.

The locomotive was going to Karachi from Quetta.

A number of trains had to wait for line clearance at various stations due to the blockade at the main railway line.

The rail traffic was later restored when an another locomotive arrived from Karachi.

CANCELLATION: The EDO, education, has cancelled orders of over 100 employees including academicians and administrators serving on deputation and asked them to report on their actual posts in the district.
