HISTORY OF RAILWAYS IN SUB-CONTINENT
1847 Sir Henry Edward Frere, appointed as the Commissioner of
Sindh , sought permission from Lord Dalhousie to begin a survey
for a Karachi Seaport and a railway line in 1858. The proposed
railway line would be laid from Karachi (city) to Kotri. In 1861 the
first railway line was opened to the public, between Karachi (city)
and Kotri, with a total distance of 169 km.

HISTORY OF RAILWAYS IN PAKISTAN
In 1947, 3,133 km of North Western Railways were transferred to
India, leaving 8,122 km route to Pakistan. Of this 6,880 km route
were Broad gauge, 506 km were Meter gauge, & 736 km were
Narrow gauge. In 1954, the railway line was extended to Mardan
and Charsada, and in 1956 the Jacobabad Kashmore 2 ft. 6 in
(762 mm) gauge line was converted into broad gauge. In 1961,
the Pakistani portion of North Western Railways was renamed
Pakistan Railways. The Kot Adu-Kashmore line was constructed
between 1969 & 1973. In 2006, Mirpur Khas-Khokhrapar 126 km
meter gauge railway line was converted to broad gauge.

Decline Of Pakistan Railways Over the years, lack of attention,
poor policies, increasing expenditures, misappropriation of
funds, pilferage, nepotism . PR is facing losses due to
mismanagement, poor maintenance and weak ticket checks that
allow people to get away with not paying for their tickets.
Railways destroying by support of Transport Mafia. Corruption
is playing major part decline of Rail Transport In Pakistan.

First of all government should eliminate corruption in railways
sector. Government should ask Chinese for help in order to make
it profitable organization because China has made wonderful
progress in railway industry. Another best solution of this
problem is the privatization of Pakistan Railway. We can take the
example of PTCL; before privatization PTCL's monthly losses
were in billions. Today it is not only a profitable organization but
also providing excellent services to the customers. Corruption in
Pakistan Railways can only be removed by privatization of
Pakistan Railways.

foresight.
