Pakistan Railways has decided to run half of trains on public-private partnership basis. The step is being taken to overcome the financial crisis afflicting the Railways.
Talking to the reporters, Railways General Manager Saeed Akhtar said that four more trains would be handed over to a private firm next year.
He said the bidding rules have been amended for purchase of 150 locomotives. Only those companies whose engines last long would be able to take part in the bidding, he added.
It is vital to mention here that the workers and employees of Pakistan Railways are staging demonstrations against the privatisation of the department.

What sort of Marketing Director are you. You seem not to have an office in Barcelona but there is no land line and you have given a Pakistan mobile number.
It appears that all this malarkey about Pakistan Railway going in loss was to sell it to some known chums in the private sector. This minister Bilour is a curse sent by Zardari. He sits in the meetings and asks for his share. He is a transporter and has no interest in the revival of Pakistan Railway.
Pakistan Railway can be revived.
You just have to look across to India. The railway is returning profit. But certainly there is no Bilour or Zardari in India.
No need of minister of railways at all!
