Re: Pakistan likely to import railway engines from India
If he can not why he is DS Sukkur? He should resign, aor chilloo bhar paani main jaa kar dhoob maray. There are many legal venues that DS Sukkur and HQ LHR can proceed against them in courts to get the possession of Railway land. However this DS Sukkur, I know him personally, he was the most stupid corrupt junior officer recruited during Zai's regime. He is basically CSS qualified worked as ATO in Sukkur. What he did in Sukkur, I don't want to disclose here. DON'T BELIEVE IN WHAT YOU THINK IT FAVORED YOUR ARGUMENT. IT IS NOT.
So how many of our "ministers" have resigned for failing to deliver?

DS normally a Grade 20 officer, top boss of the railway division in Railways has vast powers, you can not imagine. He can really make the difference if he wants to.

When *bureaucrats lick the behind of ministers* for their personal interests , can not blame the ministers. Pardon my French.**
Does it mean the minister is more powerful than the bureaucrat? otherwise I don't see why they'd need to lick anything of a minister, then the blame should be on minister instead of crat.

Paki bureaucrats kiss behind of military officials in dictatorships for mutual gains, and kiss behind of ministers for mutual gains if there is parliamentary type of semi/hand picked or full democratic government.
Re: Pakistan likely to import railway engines from India
ab PPP ke ministers ki haram khori bhi railway officer rokain? nokri nahi kerni kya! jaan bhi sab ko piyari hoti hai.
BTW, that haram khor minister is the richest parliamentarian. So much for PPP representing 'common people'.
There were such officers existing during my time which never obeyed the illegal orders of ministers, how powerful was the minister forgetting the consequences. I hope and I think that such honest officers still exist in Pakistan may be less than 1%. If not Imran Khan will kick the whole 100% bureaucrats out form their jobs in order to eliminate corruption in three months!:)

How did dictatorship jump in here? Are you acting like Anwar Pasha now dragging unrelated parties in unrelated subjects? Here the comment was bureaucrat kissing a minister's behind and you drag military dictatorship. Anyways, lets ignore that bongi for a second.

Who has more authority bureaucrat or minister?
*Honest, Brave, Competent Bureaucrat, minister before him/her is just like chapraasi.
Re: Pakistan likely to import railway engines from India
Railway is running on less than half of its locomotive stock. Will they buy new engines again when these need servicing?
this is typical ppp like they decided to "solve" electricity crisis now and before by using RPPs when pakistan can't even afford to pay their bills. This shows that they have no long term vision at all but just loot khasoot democracy is the best revenge.
Re: Pakistan likely to import railway engines from India
As long as they face Honest, Brave, Competent Bureaucrat.
The minister in question is the richest parliamentarian. I fear for the life of DSO who has questioned his illegal occupation of Railways land already. I hope he survives.

What is DSO? There is not such position of DSO in railways.
[/RIGHT] THE Pakistan Railways (PR) had 821 locomotives in 1948. Today it has only 528, out of which only 140 locomotives are functional, according to the data compiled by Zaheer Mahmood Siddiqui (Nov 11).
The rest of Mr Siddiqui’s data on the PR is equally depressing.
Does it require any more data to pinpoint the issues being faced by the PR today!
Mr Siddiqui points out that the PR has three American engines constructed by G.E. and Alco. It also has Hitachi from Japan, Adtranz from Germany and some Chinese ones.
The writer talks about issues faced by the PR where the designs of these engines are concerned. Does this mean that American, Japanese, German and Chinese engines are faulty? Or is the PR trying to cover up its own inefficiency and that of its engineers?
Railway engines are like any other diesel engine; the only difference is their size. A diesel engine needs a constant supply of oil, cooling – water circulation in engine bodies and the timely replacement of air, oil and fuel filters. If only this is taken care of, then 90 per cent of the maintenance work is considered done.
During maintenance, different components are cleaned, inspected, recalibrated and replaced, if required. It seems that these basic needs are not being carried out.
Diesel – engine – driven flat – bed trucks operating at the Karachi Port are from the 1950s and 1960s. Their caretakers maintain these machines in great working condition at all times.
The spares for these old models are no longer available and, therefore, they are scavenged from other types of models. Using their ingenuity, they also use parts available in the Sher Shah scrap – market to good use.
PR engineers should exchange notes with these experts and ask for ideas so as to scavenge parts from the 288 idle engines that are rotting away in PR sheds. In fact, the PR management should go ahead and hire them as consultants.
Bringing more engines on railway tracks will resolve most of Pakistan Railways’ woes. The rest will fall into place automatically, God willing. S. NAYYAR IQBAL RAZA

Re: Pakistan likely to import railway engines from India
This comparison is ridiculous as in 1948, majority perhaps 100% engines were steam engines. Author is ignorant about that fact.
Author forgot to mention the third type of American engines, i.e. General Motors. Moreover GMs also provided by Canada and Germany. Chinese locomotives purchased were defective in design.
Combination of both. However performance of American locomotives were superb and better than other types.
Again wrong. Design of locomotive diesel engines are entirely different than truck or ship engines. Output power does not go to wheels but goes to generator and traction motors. I wonder if author had a chance read how locomotives work?
The maintenance is not that simple, though it is basic part of preventive maintenance program
Again a stupid retard comparison of truck engines with Diesel-electric locomotives. It just like comparing apples with oranges.
Who are these experts? Not clear from above statement.
Eik railway minister bhee mangwa loo…agar engine bachanay aur chalanay hain tau.
