"Though our inspection regime, from the lowest level of mate to the highest level of FGIR, conducts its periodic inspections but further field work at diesel sheds and track by officers and staff is required for overcoming the happening of major and minor accidents" commented CEO while chairing a meeting of more than 70 officials of Karachi Division at DS office Karachi, said a news release.
"The recurrence of untoward incidents has grossly tarnished the perception of Pakistan Railways and its revival requires enormous dedication and efforts at all levels" said CEO in a meeting that lasted for more than two-and-half hours.
