Pakistan Railway's woes continue as engineers go on strike
According to reports, engineers have said that they should be provided with at least four motor engines and until this is done they will continue with their strike.
The strike has affected train arrival times and caused inconvenience to passengers.
According to the railway officials a number of trains are unable to arrive on time. Shah Ruken Alam Express which travels to Multan had to depart at 6:30 am, Awan Express at 8am and Super Express which travels to Sargodha at 9 am had been delayed.
PR officials further said that on the engineers’ protest, they were trying to provide ‘fit ‘engines for trains. Due to the delay in train arrivals, passengers are facing problems and delays of up to six hours have become the routine.

We Pakistanis should be ashamed of the condition of railways and trains in Pakistan.
Well Pakistani goverment must ask the private sector to manage the Railways and strive for private-public partnership in every department. This is the only solution.
Pakistan Railway mismanagement should be a case study at top business schools of the world.
The whole top management and the minister should be fired and held accountable for the economic mess.
Pakistan Railway has become dysfunctional........................
