Last three train sets to arrive today
LAHORE: The last three train sets for the Orange Line will reach the city today (Thursday), concluding arrival of all the 27 sets for the project.
Fourteen train sets have already been parked at the Dera Gujjran depot while the Ali Town stabling yard will house 13 sets.
“By Thursday, we will have the remaining three sets of the train. Thus, after receiving these three, our total demand for 27 sets will complete,” Orange Line Steering Committee Chairman Khwaja Ahmad Hassaan said during the weekly progress review meeting held here on Wednesday.
He said work on laying metallic track as well as installation of electrical and mechanical equipment was in full swing these days as additional work force had been employed by the Chinese contractor with a view to partially starting the trial run soon.
He said the Parks and Horticulture Authority had been tasked with designing ornamental lighting system for illumination of the track as per international standards.
“The train will be operated with electricity and construction of an electric sub-station near University of Engineering and Technology has been completed. Lesco has already assured us to make it functional as and when required,” he said.
He said first four metro stations from Dera Gujjran to Mahmood Booti would be completed during the current week while target had been set for completing Pakistan Mint station and Nicholson Road station by end of next week.
More than half of the track laying work at this stretch had already been completed, he said.
