Pakistan railways' crisis spirals as trains run with 3-day oil reserves: Report

Pakistan Railways: The report also claimed that a few days ago the oil stock that the railways had was only of one day which forced a limit on freight operations.

"Squeezing of oil reserves for train operation from one month to a couple of days clearly shows that the PR's financial situation is really in great trouble," requesting Minister for Railways Khawaja Saad Rafique to pay attention towards the crucial issues and resolve them on priority," a senior official of Pakistan railways told The Dawn.

"He (the minister) should also launch an inquiry into freight wagons' bidding affairs that discourage the private sector. In recent tenders of outsourcing wagons and constructing freight terminals under public-private partnership mode, the decisions are yet to be taken despite a passage of four months or so," the official further said.

Pakistan Railways (PR) are in trouble with passenger and freight trains being run with only three-day oil inventory, claims a report.

As the economic crisis deepens in the South Asian country, as per the report a few days back the oil stock had fallen to a low of only a day, forcing the railways to limit their services.

A senior official told Dawn, "A couple of days ago, the railways was left with only one-day oil stock across the country. This forced the authorities to reduce the freight train operations, especially from Karachi and Lahore. It has never happened in the history of the PR. I think the railways will default if the government continues ignoring the department."

The official who spoke to the publication on condition of anonymity claimed that the condition of the railway department has gotten to the point of collapsing. The department reportedly even lacks funds to clear a $25 billion liability 'gratuity' for several officers and officials who retired recently within a year or so.

The report also claimed that railway workers and officials were getting their salaries around 15-20 days late. Due to this, train drivers across the country decided to hold strikes or protests across the country as they didn't receive their salaries even on Dec 20.

The official said, "You can now imagine the PR’s situation well."
