India has approved a $318 million loan for Sri Lanka Railways to upgrade its communications system and rolling stock in the Tamil-dominated north
Sri Lankan government spokesman and minister Gayantha Karunathilake said that the money will be used to improve the signal system from Maho to Anuradhapura in the north central province and from Anuradhapura to Omanthai in the north.
It will also be used to buy six power sets with air-conditioned carriages, 10 engines and 160 carriages, 30 wagons with oil tanks and 20 container carrying wagons.
The Cabinet had approved a proposal by Prime Minister Ranil Wickremesinghe to enter into an agreement with Exim Bank of India for the loan. (Economic Times)

All locomotives and power sets bought from India cannot be run on the main line due to its inability to climb steep hills. Only korean, chinese, japanese, canadian and german railway engines run beyond polgahawela. Why is the government indebting the nation to buy useless junk from india?
