ISLAMABAD: Pakistan Railways is removing technical hitches from the software for smooth implementation of a project, launched for computerised tracking of the locomotives.
Besides installation of tracking devices on locomotives, matching equipment is being installed in central control office at Lahore and seven operational divisions at Karachi, Sukkur, Multan, Lahore, Rawalpindi, Peshawar and Quetta, an official in the Ministry of Railways told APP.
The project, initiated during 2009 was ill conceived and poorly implemented with the result that the system is not fully functional. The project is being implemented in collaboration with Electronic Government Directorate, as such the allocation of funds for the project can be given by concerned Ministry of Information Technology (MoIT).
