Federal Minister for Pakistan Railways (PR) Ghulam Ahmed Bilour has denied the reports regarding downsizing and privatization of PR.
Talking to INP news agency here on Wednesday, Ghulam Ahmed Bilour said that PR is a public service department and there was not any suggestion under consideration regarding its privatization.
He rubbished the rumours regarding privatization of Peshawar-Lahore routes and said that news in this regard were attempt to weaken PR ministry’s commitment to make it profitable.
Ghulam Ahmed Bilour said that employees were precious asset of PR and no individual would be sacked till he was PR minister.
50% privatization would be benificial for PR as it can develop a sense of competition btw two groups(govt and private companies). We really need to do something for our railway..
Bilour is presiding over the demise of Pakistan Railways. He will go down in history as the most incompetent Minister. He should have decency to resign before there is nothing left of PR.
As I know Peshawar to Lala Musa track was defined as strategic line, now this line is seldom used for the purpose for which it was built, so in my openion it is better to have public-private partanership on peshawar-lahore route,…or if it is possible the Railway as a whole should be decalered as Carporatation…by this the burden on public exchequor will witherawy
Bilour sb will never leave a chance for revival of Pakistan Railways, he will destroy it under his own supervision, unless and untill we throgh him and his party out in the next elections.
