KARACHI: Resumption of Karachi Circular Railway (KCR) has been delayed over the non-finalisation of the arrangments and will now be resumed on November 19, reports suggested on Saturday. According to reports citing sources, the 14-km long track from City Station to Orangi Town remains unclear, while the station also lacks basic facilities. Road crossing in Gulbai and other areas has become a complicated issue in the resumption of KCR and sources privy to the development said that traffic to be stopped temporarily through ropes at crossing points of the KCR trains. Earlier on Friday, a KCR train comprising four bogies and two locomotives travelled a 14-kilometre-long distance from City Railway Station to Orangi Town. The KCR project is 12.63 kilometres at grade (on the ground), and 30.75 kilometres elevated with 24 railway stations out of which 14 will be elevated.
