Lahore:
All emphasis on cosmetic surgery of Pakistan Railways, railway stations are being rapidly upgraded, while railway infrastructure is 10 to 150 years old. Due to the severe shortage of railway bogies, passengers began to be accommodated in other trains, while the train running on the tracks becomes an accident.
Some trains suddenly respond to the air -conditioned system, passengers take tickets air -condied coaches, but travel without air -conditioned. Whether it is a passenger train or a good train train, sometimes there is a terrorist, sometimes accidents happen. The railway administration has failed to deliver passengers on time despite all efforts.
Pakistan Railways has focused more on “cosmetic surgery” to provide modern facilities to passengers. Lahore, Karachi, Rawalpindi and other railway stations including Multan are being upgraded at a rapid pace, but the railway infrastructure is suffering from extreme sorrow.
The railway track has recently reached the point of breakdown and that even if a train leaves on time, it becomes extremely difficult to complete the route, as soon as the train caught a little speed, it suddenly falls down from the tracks, or leaves a crack on a terrorist or a crack. Air -condicked travels are forced to travel, while the ticket is paid by the Air -Condnade coach.
The railway administration is also facing a serious shortage of train boogies, which is why trains from Lahore to Karachi, Rawalpindi or other cities are either canceled and then passengers of these canceled trains are adjusted to another train.
According to the data received by Express News, more than 46 accidents have been reported from 1 January to 1 January, including passengers and goods trains from 1 January. There are 23 passenger trains from the tracks, while 20 and 3 other accidents are for goods trains.
The Jaffer Express train was also under sabotage. Hundreds of passengers were injured in train accidents, while the infrastructure of Pakistan Railways also caused a loss of crores of rupees due to these accidents. The train collided with a brick trolley at Mand level crossing, causing all 15 train coaches to get away from the tracks.
Similarly, on May 30, Rahman Baba Express train collided with a trolley at Mand Level Crossing. On 1 June, the Pakistan Express was killed near Mubarakpur, causing the train’s dining car to get out of the train, but the train survived a major accident.
In addition, three incidents of train accidents occurred on 14 June. The train going to Peshawar fell from the tracks in Kankot, which was six bogies of Khati Khan Khattak. The same day, Allama Iqbal Express train also survived a major accident. Thal Express collided with a train car.
Subsequently, on 18 June, the Jaffer Express was subjected to sabotage near Jackbabad, the railway track was blown and 5 bogies of the train were away from the tracks. The Islamabad Express was overturned near a power plant, including six bogies, Kala Shah Kaku, in which the tracks were closed, injuring more than 25 passengers.
On the other hand, the railway administration could not make it possible for the preparation of coaches on time, the cost of Rs 31 billion reached Rs 71 billion and despite doubling the cost, the plan of the bogies was not ready on time.
The federal minister for the railway said that Pakistan is upgrading the Railways and billions of rupees are being spent on the infrastructure of the railway. The Punjab government has given Rs 350 billion to upgrade the Rawalpindi track from Lahore. Executive and family launch, including Wi -Fi, have been installed at the railway station, providing the latest travel facilities to passengers from the railway station. They will soon make the railway stand on their feet.
