It is reported that due to shortage of locomotives and power sets, train operations have been severely hampered.
Accordingly, although 74 engines and 193 power sets are required for daily train operation, the railway authorities have mentioned that only 58 locomotives and 162 power sets are available for running.
Also, Railway Traffic Superintendent M.J. Indipolage has stated that there are 15 locomotives and 31 power sets for repair, and the spare parts required for the repair of engines and power sets are being imported.
