AREA`S FOR IMPROVEMENT

Shortage of Locomotives

Decreasing Market Share

Huge Losses and Budget Deficit

Mismanagement

Corruption

Accidents

Political intervention

Weak ticket checks Inconvenience of passengers

Shortage of Locomotives

The Pakistan Railways has a total of 546locomotives but only 290 are on track whilethe rest are out of order.

Railway sector in Pakistan has notmaintained its position in the transportsector.

The market share of Pakistan Railways kepton declining with the passage of time.

10/26


The freight business was of PR was 15 milliontons in late 1960s but has come down to 7million tons.

Roads have steadily become the morepreferred form of transportation.

An example of PRs declining market share isthat it is moving only 11% of total petroleumproducts.


11/26

Huge Losses and Budget

Deficit is the presence of unnecessarydepartments which are white elephant forPakistan Railways.

Today Pakistan Railways with Rs.334 billionliabilities is at the edge of bankruptcy

because of corruption, shortage oflocomotives and losses incurred due to therunning expenses.

effectively. However, during the past two decades only

100 locomotives have been added.

Train is always overloaded with the bundleof people and Customer feel very difficult

to take their seats Cleanliness problems

Passenger get very tied due to

uncomfortable seats


17/26

Political intervention

Weak ticket checks There is no proper system for ticket checks

which cause loss.


18/26

Corruption

Corruption is the biggest problem PakistanRailways is facing today.

The Railway Department has been sufferinglosses since years long. Contractor system isone of the causes of such losses.

Contractor system is one of the causes of

such losses.

Moreover, there are enormous irregularitiesin local purchases.


19/26

Corruption

The number of officers cadre has increased

considerably since 1977, mostly due to political

appointments.

. It has been revealed that the crises are self

generated creating a space for more corruption

and PRACS-Pakistan Railways Advisory

Commute Services is responsible for this mess. In short Pakistan Railways is a classic example of

bad governance, poor policies, corruption andmismanagement.


20/26

How to improve these areas

First of all government should eradicatecorruption in railways sector. Corruption is themenace that is destroying many sectors ofPakistani society.

Pakistan Railways should be privatized. This isalso the possible solution of problem becausecurrently government of Pakistan has to bear thehuge losses monthly. Other benefits of

privatization of Pakistan Railways include theincrease in service quality and expansion ofRailways because government has nothing toinvest in PR.


21/26


High security system

comfortable trains.

Better services in economy class.

Quality of railway track.

India is also making impressive strides in therailway sector. The underground systemin Delhi has won the admiration of manyforeign experts for its engineering as well asmanagement.

Pakistan being a neighbor of these two

rapidly growing and giant economies couldbenefit enormously from the development ofthe two systems.


23/26


Pakistan is blessed with coal reserves and a singleThar coal reserve of Sindh is about 850 Trillion Cubicfeet which is more than oil reserves of KSAand Iran put together i.e. 375 billion barrels.

Chinese and other companies had not only carriedout surveys and feasibilities of this project but alsooffered 100 percent investment in last 7 to 8 yearsbut the Petroleum Gang always discouraged them

in a very systematic way. If these reserves areexploited properly then the deficiency of fuel can becatered for the railways.


24/26


Pakistan Railways should be privatized. Thisis also the possible solution of problembecause currently government of Pakistanhas to bear the huge losses monthly.


25/26

CONCLUSION

The political interference poor maintenanceof track locomotives couches bridges andmismanagement in almost every field are themajor causes of failure of Pakistan railways.

Locomotives purchased from china had beenbroken down may be mentioned here that

normally a locomotive consists of six tractionmotor while the Pakistan Railway is operatingthem with only three or four motors.


26/26

CONCLUSION

This is the major cause of mid-way ofbreakdown of trains.
