Re: Pakistan Railways expects Rs 6 Billion More Income
I am surprised this minister promised that he would turn around railways in two years. He should have awarded these brave journalists who really risked their lives to prove the corruption in a very minor establishment of Railways. One can understand how much corruption is going on in Engineering, Police, Commercial, and Operating departments. Sad Rafiq should have issued arrest orders for those involved in this terrorist and corrupt activities, suspending DCO Karachi, DS Karachi and CCM (General Manager Commercial HQ LHR) and should have initiated criminal inquiry by FIA. It is a shame this once crown national department has deteriorated to such a lowest gutter level, destroying its foundation and very existence of national railway.

ISLAMABAD: **The auction of billboards and signboards sites had contributed Rs 57 million to Pakistan Railways during last year.
The activity included auction of 105 sites to nine advertising agencies during first phase when the task was assigned for the first time to commercial branch of the department.
**The second phase of this activity had also been finalized and further Rs 53 million was to be earned through it, which included auction of 200 sites to 21 advertising agencies in 31 cities all over the country.
**
According to Pakistan Railways here, it had adopted numerous measures to reduce losses which included dialogues with donor agencies and foreign funding to purchase new locomotives to increase number of operational locomotives.
It said tariff was being regularly rationalized based on the market dynamics mainly to improve occupancy and increase revenue. Moreover, availability of locomotives has been improved through special repair of existing locomotives and procurement of new locomotives. At present six freight trains were leaving daily from port area of Karachi, and this situation will improve further in future.
The other step was control over expenditure through computerization of payment and pension to eliminate ghost pensioners and rule out possibility of overpayment. The efficiency of workshops was being increased by getting deposit works from other Departments/Provisional governments and private sector to enhance labour productively.
The menu for dining cars had been revised to ensure good quality food to the passengers with provision of branded items, hygienic cooking and quality of food ingredients had been emphasised. Punctuality of trains had been improved to regain confidence of passengers and freight consignors while oil reserves had been improved from two hours to twelve days level to improve operational efficiency. Similarly, the department said a comprehensive policy for disposal of surplus scrap has been introduced with an aim to improve financials through an open, fair and transparent process.

The Chinese high-speed rail industry appears to make further headway in its overseas initiative, targeting the new markets of India and Pakistan.
The progress was highlighted recently by the visit of executives of Indian’s high-speed rail company to China’s National Railway Administration on Dec. 1, when they discussed India-China cooperation in high-speed rail construction.
The visit followed comments by the spokesperson for India’s ministry of railways one week ago, saying China will conduct feasibility study on the plan of constructing a high-speed rail system in India 1,754 kilometers in length, the second longest worldwide so far. The railway will connect Delhi and Chennai, with a budget of 2 trillion rupees (US$32.3 billion). In September, China signed a memorandum of understanding with India, pledging to help the latter in rail construction, including technology transfer, training of rail technicians, development of railway stations and railway construction.
In late November the development and reform commission of Xinjiang Uyghur autonomous region announced the kickoff of a feasibility study on a China-Pakistan rail project, according to Guangzhou’s 21st Century Business Herald. An insider from China Railway Corporation said that the projected railway may pass through Central Asia, with which China has longstanding cooperation in rail construction.
Reportedly, China Railway First Survey & Design Institute Group has completed a draft report on the projected China-Pakistan rail, with a planned length of 1,196 kilometers.

ISLAMABAD: **Pakistan Railways (PR) is offering revised competitive freight rates regularly to divert freight traffic from road to rail in order to reduce the deficit of the organisation.
In this regard, the Ministry of Railways is taking several steps including increasing freight trains to earn more revenue and revising tariffs regularly to encourage customers, said an official in the Ministry of Railways.
The official said availability of locomotives, through repair, in the freight pool has increased up to 50 locomotives per day, which has made it possible to run more than six freight trains every day from Karachi.
This has increased earnings of the railways, which is set to surpass the revenue target of Rs28 billion fixed by the government for this year, he said. PR has also re-introduced a cargo express train between Karachi and Badami Bagh Lahore from September 2014. The induction of 10 leased locomotives from the National Logistics Cell and 15 new locomotives would further enhance the freight productivity.

Panchi pai N$ or $$ has no magic wand to convert PR into bullet trains of Japan. Its entire infra-structure is in shambles. A part from rampant corruption, the way things are running are not going to improve the system even at the end of this century.
Can you imagine if bogies are going to jump by themselves, who is safe traveling in these bogies? As usual PR making fool of people. If no one is responsible in derailments of express trains, isn’t Saad Rafiq himself is responsible? Next time he may not be that lucky, if score of people killed by jumping of bogies in fast running trains. You keep on posting false promotional news for N$ or $$ (he is running the country), can not fool people for all the times.
