I hope Pakistan Railways does not forget Late Mr. Rana's family and compensates them adequately. Knowing our society, I would not be surprised that his parents, siblings as well as his own family depended on him. Also the families of these four thugs should be made to contribute to a family welfare fund. What a violent society we are!

I've already heard many similar cases of the illiteracy n useless arrogant behavior of sheikupura people. This is not a surprise.

Some years ago, one of my friends almost got killed when he asked his neighbors to lower down their too loud high power speakers placed on their house roof top. They entered his house loaded with guns to kill him but his life got saved because he hid himself somewhere. Such stupid behavior is a part of their culture n so called bogus "ghairat" system.
