* සභාමේසය මත තබන ලද පිළිතුර:
* சபாபீடத்தில் வைக்கப்பட்ட விடை :
* Answer tabled:
(a) (i) I admit.
(ii) The very outdated condition of the existing engines, compartments and power sets being very outdated.
The need for operating an excessive number of journeys at peak times and non-existence of a railway track system sufficient for this requirement.
Very outdated condition of the signal system of some lines.
At the times of failures in trains, non-availability of sufficient facilities to recover trains from such failures promptly.
Over-crowdedness is caused by the people increasingly opting for using the rail transport because of its convenience and cheapness against other transport modes and the fact that it is not subject to delay caused by traffic congestion. This also caused by the availability of a limited number of compartments and power sets to cater to the increasing number of passenger.
(iii) There are 110 trains in running condition.
(iv) Although the services are carried out to the daily passenger trains and freight trains driven by the engines and power sets of the Sri Lanka Railway, most of the engines and power sets are continuously deployed in operation beyond the number of hours or the kilometers at which the regular services are due. At present, the engines and the power sets are not possible to be kept at rest for servicing of them even at the due number of hours of the kilometers as the train services have to be maintained uninterruptedly.
12 power sets of S13 type (06 duel sets) are due to be received under the Indian Line of Credit and at present only 04 sets of them have been deployed in operation. Around 08 sets are due to be put in operation shortly. Also, 10 engines of M11 type are due to be received under the same Indian Line of Credit and as of now, one engine has been deployed in service. Further, 09 engines are due to be received.
18 engines (09 sets) of S14 type to be run on the Upper Line (Kandian Line) are currently in the production process, and they will be put in operation in the future.
Once the above engines and power sets are deployed in operation, the daily passenger and freight train schedules can be met without a problem, and this will make it possible to direct the trains for services at due times.
Further, 20 wagons and 30 oil tanks are due to be received under the Indian Line of Credit. 160 compartments under the Indian Line of Credit and 70 compartments and 20 wagons under the Indonesian Line of Credit are also due to be received. Deployment of those wagons and compartments will make it possible to operate trains on schedules that ensure more passenger convenience, and similarly, the addition of fuel tanks and the wagons to the service will ensure systematic and punctual operation of oil and freight transport services.
(v) Yes.
Since the year 2014, 04 power sets of S13 type have so far been added to the fleet of the Sri Lanka Railway, which are as follows:
S13-959, S13-960, S13-963, S13-964
These power sets have been imported from India, and the first two sets have been imported in December, 2018.
(b) Does not arise.
