LAHORE, (UrduPoint / Pakistan Point News - 21st Jan, 2021 ) :Railways Minister Azam Khan Swati has said that the department will be run on successful business model.
Presiding over marathon meetings at the Railway headquarters on the first day of his three-day visit here on Thursday, he said that every suggestion for development of the department would be welcomed.

The minister said that the rule of carrot and stick would be introduced in the department, adding that punishment for mistake and reward for good work would be given to the employees.

"A worker and officer should be provided with facilities, but it is only possible by generating and increasing revenue," he said.
"I myself am studying files of officers. I do not know anyone in the Railways and posting officers on merit after interviewing them," the minister said.
Earlier, the minister was briefed about strategy of increasing revenue by 25 per cent in upcoming three months, plan about outsourcing of passenger trains, improvement of services, infrastructure issues for the train operation, linkage of biometric system with salaries, tenders of coaches and wagons and repairing of Chinese GE locomotives.
