Re: Pakistan Railways : Saad Rafique Exclusive

China dosti kay nam pur chuna! 13 years ago I was in Jamshoro Power Company audit - there the best performing units were from Scandinavia at Kotri Plant, followed by the lonely Japanese unit at Jamshoro, the other three were from China - all of them never worked simultaneously and the worst were the Lakhara's three coal power units!

Re: Pakistan Railways : Saad Rafique Exclusive

**Perhaps he was fed up with this chronic problem. No railway in the world can run under such cursed conditions what to talk about of improvement. Some one has to calculate human and material losses inflicted to railways by these laanti “maut ke saudagar”.

As far I know this area is between Jacobabad and Sibi. All desert and plain field. How these ‘muat ke saudagar’ plant a bomb in area which can be seen at least 10-20 miles easily even with naked eye? Railway used to run pilots and night watchmen (mostly temporary gangs of PWI) before running of passenger trains in such emergencies. Perhaps minister is also ignorant about this fact.**

**(Again Registan Panchi can reveal this information to railway minister, at least few poor souls can be saved by taking above precaution.)

Jaffar Express struck by explosion; seven killed - DAWN.COM

DERA MURAD JAMALI: At least seven persons were killed and 16 injured when a passenger train was struck by a bomb explosion in Balochistan’s Naseerabad district on Monday, police said.

Asad Gilani, the Home Secretary Balochistan told Dawn.com militants targeted Jaffar Express using improvised explosive devices (IEDs) in Notal area of Naseerabad district.

“When the train reached Notal, there were huge explosions”, Gilani said.

He said the blasts damaged a portion of the railway track and three bogies of train.

The train was carrying hundreds of passengers from Punjab province who were returning to Balochistan after Eid holidays.

The Home Secretary said the seven people, including two women, who were killed in the incident were all passengers. He added that the condition of six injured was reported as serious.

Riaz Ahmed, Quetta’s Superintendent of Police (Railways) said the bomb was planted on the track which went off when the train reached Notal, adding that three brothers were also among the dead.

He further said that Divisional Superintendent Railway and other officials were en route to the blast site in order to file a report over the incident.

Zafar Shah Bukhari, a senior official in the area, also confirmed the bomb attack and death toll.

Bukhari said the Jaffar Express was travelling from Rawalpindi to Quetta, the main town of Baluchistan province when the explosion occurred, derailing several bogies.

“We have taken the dead bodies and injured to the nearby hospital,” Bukhari said, adding that the condition of six of the injured was critical.

Chief Minister Balochistan Dr Malik Baloch strongly condemned the attack at and termed it a terrorist act while ordering the local administration to submit a report over the incident.

The chief minister also instructed the Balochistan government to provide medical treatment to all injured.

The incident led to the suspension of railway traffic between Balochistan and other parts of Pakistan.

The train service was expected to resume after repair of the damaged track and security clearance, a railway official told Dawn.com on the condition of anonymity.

There has been no claim of responsibility for the attack.

However, senior police officials suspected that Baloch rebels were responsible for the attack.

The banned Baloch Republican Army is active in the area and have been targeting vital national installations including gas pipelines and power pylons and security forces in the area for more than a decade.

Meanwhile, a relief train carrying more than 100 passengers has reached Quetta from Notal amid tight security. “Police and Frontier Corps personnel patrolled in Bolan mountains to guard the train carrying passengers,” Superintendent of Police Chaudhry Riaz told reporters at the Quetta Railway Station.

The passengers remained the worst sufferers of blast that targeted passenger train in the troubled Naseerabad district. Most of them were suffering from psychological trauma.

“I fell down inside the train when the bomb went off,” Muhammad Khalid, a resident of Punjab’s Chakwal district told Dawn.com.

Railway authorities received the passengers at Quetta Railway Station. They had waited for whole day since there was persistent delay in their evacuation due to looming security threats. “There was destruction everywhere after the blast,” Khalid said. “Still I feel ache in my shoulders since I fell down after the blast,” he added.

Muhammad Shoaib, the Divisional Transport Officer told reporters that the blast had damaged 30 feet railway track. He said 80 per cent repair work was completed and hopefully the train service was likely to be restored on Tuesday morning.

Shoaib stated that security was tightened in Bolan and oth

Re: Pakistan Railways : Saad Rafique Exclusive

how about Jiyalas? they burned a large number of locomotives and coaches after Benazir was killed. so everyone is responsible for Pak Railway's demise.

Re: Pakistan Railways : Saad Rafique Exclusive

No it is not. In this thread I have praised this minister who belongs to PML(N) not PPP. Open another thread if you want say some thing like that. Don't derail this thread in which the problem mentioned is purely technical, partly related to terrorism and nothing to do with politics.

Re: Pakistan Railways : Saad Rafique Exclusive

Re: Pakistan Railways : Saad Rafique Exclusive

So the Chinese units were separate from larkana power plants.

Re: Pakistan Railways : Saad Rafique Exclusive

Lakhara power plant in Dist Dadu (not larkana). There are three stations in Jamshoro Company - Lakhara, Jamshoro and Kotri!

Re: Pakistan Railways : Saad Rafique Exclusive

Japan had introduced Megnetic Levitation in 1980’s. It was way expensive than Shinkansen, the bullet train which was also ATO at that time, traveling at the speed of about 300 kmph. The technology of Magnetic Levitation does not use conventional tracks. Infact it never touches the ground and move few inches above the single track. Read the history and technology before write some thing which looks very stupid. I wonder if article writer even know what he is talking about?

Back to Pakistan. Reviving PR to seventies level will be a great achievement by this minister.

Re: Pakistan Railways : Saad Rafique Exclusive

Yes it is a civil language for you guys.

Re: Pakistan Railways : Saad Rafique Exclusive

I call it as garbage in and garbage out. Keep it civil and to the topic of the thread, my response will be accordingly. I know then how to respond.
