REASONS OF DEFICIT IN PAKISTAN RAILWAYS' BUDGET
We observe every year Pakistan Railways budget deficit. We see often that passengers on main railway stations are perplexed for seeking reservations of seats and berths. They face the difficulties and hardships for getting reservations. The passengers often do not get reservations from the reservation counters but the Railways Policemen have the reservations of seats and berths both. It means that railways policemen are selling reservation seats and berths. They say to the passengers not to purchase the tickets and even reservation tickets or berth tickets but they would provide them the seats or berths in the train.The Special Ticket Examiners (STEs) in the trains do not cooperate with the travelers who purchase the tickets but have not seats or berths. The STEs also support this corrupt reservation system which is hijacked by the railways police staff. Railways Magistrates and Special Inspection Teams should intervene such matters and should make such policies that this railway revenue theft would be stopped on regular basis otherwise the railways budget deficit would not be recovered. Special Inspection Teams of Railways should consist of the civilian and common or renowned persons on district level so that the transparancy in railways revenue system be elevated. I can support Pakistan Railways in this matter of urgency.
