Lake Saif-ul-Mulook

"Although Pakistan is full of beautiful places but the one which is mentioned here is the Lake Saif-ul-Mulook. No trip to the Northern areas of Pakistan is complete without a visit to Lake Saif-ul-Mulook. Words fail to express its mesmerizing effects which it puts on the tourists.

"

Kaghan Valley

, in the District Mansehra of the Hazara division. It is considered to be one of the highest lakes in Pakistan, having an altitude of about 3224 metres above the sea level.

The lake carries a legendary story. It has been named after a Persian Prince, Saif-ul-Mulook, about whom it is said that he fell in love with the fairies of the mountains behind the lake. It is formed by the melting glaciers of the mountains.
According to travel records, the lake is said to be one of the most widely visited places by tourists. Every year, thousands of people from all over the world come here to spend time. It takes about eight hours to reach Naran from Islamabad on the Mansehra-Balakot and Kaghan road and a further 45 minutes to the reach the lake via jeeps.

It is a pity there is no proper rest area, no hotel or a guesthouse where the tourists can have a rest or can enjoy the scenery of the bewitching lake. There is no place to refresh and no buildings except a hut maintained by the Forest Department, which remains closed most of the times.

Lal Masjid Operation: Main downfall reason of Musharraf ...!!!

The siege of Lal Masjid named as Operation Silence was a confrontation between Islamic Fundamentalist militants and Government of Pakistan led by General Pervez Musharraf and Shoukat Aziz administration, then prime minister of Pakistan. That operation was ordered by then Army Chief General Pervez Musharraf and it was carried out jointly special services group and 111 Brigade of Pakistan and supervised by the then Corps Commander of Pakistan. The focal points of operation were Lal Masjid (Red Mosque) and adjacent Jamia Hafsa Madrasah in Islamabad, Pakistan.

Lal Masjid

               Lal Masjid and Jamia Hafsa Madrasah had been operated by Islamic Militants and was led by two brothers Maulana Abdul Aziz and Abdul Rashid Ghazi. This organization supported the imposition of Sharia in Pakistan. According to the Umme Hassan, wife of Maulana Abdul Aziz said that the relations between Lal Masjid and Government of Pakistan were detoriated in 1998. She said:

“During 2004 and 2005 Musharraf government in order to please its Western allies, started discriminatory actions against my family members and declared 80 mosques as a security risk and demolished them”

               In early 2007, government demolishes 7 mosques in the federal capital Islamabad. The leadership of Lal Masjid has also called for the overthrow of Pakistan government. They were challenging the writ of the state. As a result of it Jamia Hafsa girls occupied the children library in G-6. Also the militants of Lal Masjid kidnapped the employee of Chinese parlour because they were involved in the activities inimical to Islam. They fired on the rangers and police personnels and also set the Environment Ministry Building to fire.

               Choudhry Shujat Hussain was against this operation. He and other religious scholars were leading towards an agreement between Lal Masjid leadership and government. They were not succeded and on the direction of General Musharraf, Security Forces launched the operation on the students of Lal Masjid on 3 July 2007. A battle erupted between security forces and the students of Jamia Hafsa, which was led by Abdul Rashid Ghazi. He was continuously negotiating with government mediator. He asked that if government allowed them to leave the mosque without firing on them, they would surrender infron of ulema committee, lay the arms down. Government asked to surrender them unconditionally. Abdul Rashid Ghazi issued a fatwa

“Those who will be killed by the army troops will be declared as Shaheed”.

               Maulana Abdul Aziz was arrested while he was trying to escape with his daughters by disguising himself in a Burqa. Abdul Rashid Ghazi was killed in that operation. According to the police report, 103 people were murdered in that operation including militants, security officers, etc.

Lal Masjid Oper

               People believed that one of the main causes due to which Pervez Musharraf was forced to leave his job as president of Pakistan was his brutal attack on Lal Masjid. This attack on Lal Masjid and Jamia Hafsa lead towards the fall of his regime. They said that due to this huge blunder of General Musharraf the terrorist activities have increased in Pakistan.  

               On 4^th December 2012, a One-Man Commission has been formed to probe in to the Lal Masjid operation 2007 launched by General Musharraf. The three-member bench, headed by Chief Justice Ifhtikhar Mohammad Choudhry heard a suo moto case along with the contempt writ filled by Maulana Abdul Aziz. The commission was assigned the task to ascertain whether the bodies of the killed person were identified and handed over to the heirs and whether the action has been taken against the people who caused this tragedy.

               The one man commission will be headed by senior judge of Federal Shariat Court, Shahzado Shaikh and police have been ordered to hand him all the documents and witnesses related to the operation. The commission is due to conclude its decision in 45 days.

Many male and female volunteer witnessed before the commission. These volunteer includes Umme Hassan, wife of Maulana Abdul Aziz and Maulana Abdul Aziz and the administrators of the Jamia Hafsa and Lal Masjid who were in contact with Maulana Abdul Aziz before and after the operation.

               Umme Hassan, principal Jamia Hafsa and wife of Maulana Abdul Aziz in her statement recorded before the commission praised military dictator Gen (retired) Ziaul Haq for promoting Jihadi culture but criticised Gen (retired) Pervez Musharraf for branding the Jihadis as terrorists.

               She believed  that Gen (retired) Musharraf, Gen (retired) Rashid Qureshi then spokesman of President House, and a serving three-star general  Waheed Arshad, then director-general of Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR), were responsible for the Lal Masjid operation.   

Maulana Abdul Aziz told the Commission.

“Gen Musharraf was against our religious ideology. In his tenure the district management started demolishing 80 mosques in the federal capital. That was why students of Jamia Faridia started protesting against him. Gen Musharraf branded them as terrorists and ultimately launched the military operation“.

Maulana Abdul Aziz

               According to the document related to the probe, the commission is looking into the causes of the accident. It will point out whether any action would be taken under the law against the person who were found responsible for this incident.

Closure of cellphone services....

 Mobile phone services resumed, mobile phone services have been suspended on the orders of none other than the interior minister Rehman Malik, are the statements often heard in such a happening country. Here, every minute is uncertain, unpredictable with the scenarios about to come and known by none. 

Nowadays, fear prevails on the faces of everyone, be it a bystander, a layman, shopkeeper, fruit seller etc. The use of anything makes it good or bad, yes mobiles are also taken for granted and they have become the source of pleasure and a leisure activity for its users. The late night packages, the lower rate sms packages and many more so called ‘being considered’ merits by the youth are undoubtedly deviating them from their goals. It’s true that uncertainty encircles us every now and then, but the measure taken to curb such type of a situation is totally unrealistic. 

mobile service closed

Keeping aside all the wrong doings associated with the cell phones, they are after all a necessity. For a common man whose daughters go to university, he would want to know whether she have reached safely or not.If a death has taken place in relatives, how the beloved would be informed.Situation of the city is bad, you need to know whether it’s necessary to go the university next day or not. 

These are some of the issues, but they are many that haunt the parents, the beloved ones, the relatives etc. Instead of closing these services why the real causes are not addressed? These are nothing but temporary solutions that are forced to be taken only when a threat is at the doorstep. What sort of care is this, allocated for the people? Why not the security made so strong that nothing is left to worry the minister or even the people of the city?  If only the services are tightened, security of people is strengthened; then, predictions that are made after a disruption in city would be done beforehand. And ultimately the forces being alert, the mass destructions would be reduced without any need of closing the mobile phone services. If and only if Rehman Malik modifies his strategies, all would turn out to be better at times of plight, where we are thrown by him when solutions are left except for the closure of these services.

Media Infatuation

"Did you watch the latest episode of Zindagi Gulzar Hai?"

"OMG, Fawad is sooo handsome!!"

"I love the way she dresses. May be, I'll get something like that for Eid."

Ever heard such kinda dialogues among your friends and found such people cracked in their heads? :D

If yes, then you're on the same side with me. :D

Pakistani people, especially females have the uncontrollable (and if you allow me to say, rather stupid) habit of getting obsessed with showbiz celebrities. These drama serials portray idealism, fantasies and all sort of dream-come-true luxurious lives - almost all of them relating a female can be only happy if she gets married to a handsome Prince Charming.

The T.V. programs show what we want to feel in our own lives - happiness. Another thing which is quite absurd in my opinion is the Facebook Fan Pages the T.V. production teams (and common people too) create for discussions over the dressing of the actors, individual opinions about the flaws in the script and what not! These Fan Pages are, no doubt, created for publicity but they add up to the number of psychologically affected people.

All in all, I would say that people should watch T.V. dramas  but should not be infatuated by them.

Drama of Malala Yousufzai___Time To Think...

Malala Yousufzai, a well known personality all over the world because of her blogs which she wrote during the Taliban's regime in Waziristan,Pakistan . She actually belonged to Mangora,Swat.She was tried to be killed in an attack some days ago . But , some features show that either it was a drama or nothing more than a planned scenario of a 3 hours film. Some reasons of my above statement are as follows:

•  If she was shot at the head,then where has the symbol of that wound gone,either not displaying in the picture which released from the hospital ,from where her reconstructive surgery took place????
•  Has her surgery been done without removing her hairs ????

Malala hairs are showing and her bullet wound is not seen

This is not a favourable act of Taliban's, if they had done this .... But every coin has two sides and this side is too dark and complex...

Only single question arises from this all drama that why the hell is media not diverting the minds of peoples towards drone attacks in which million of peoples had been put to death yet ... Why they watch only towards MALALA ???

Malala has now been discharged from the hospital with good recovery speed and her father Zia ud din Yousufzai has got a job in United States in Pakistani Embassy and her family has been migrated from Pakistan . The government of Pakistan also paid its attention only towards Malala and what about the other two daughters of nation who also got injured in this incident with Malala???

Stupidity and Negativity: Falling Points of Pakistani News Media

Media is an important source for representing any country and its political system. However, its importance increases in a democratic political system. There is a relationship of dependency between media and political system. When a media become an autonomous function, it starts to strengthen the democratic institutions and democratic system of a country.

Pakistani Channels

               In Pakistan, media is working freely and independently. In case of electronic media, there are a number of channels including news, sports, entertainment, etc. So, it is the responsibility of the media to highlight those issues which are good for the public and discourage all unethical factors of the society. Media should be sensitive to represent the situation of the country towards the world. Pakistani media tells the world exactly what we are, what our norms are and what are our values and culture.

Through the media, every time people look towards the news channels which are playing the heroic role in the country. With many news channels, newspapers and magazines, people of Pakistan are more aware of their political and democratic rights.

               Role of media in Pakistan is getting quite irresponsible, as there are many talk shows and political debate are  there on different news channels every time but sometimes it seems that they are crossing their limits. Media is supposed to be responsible for the present society, their norms, and values and so on. People are what they see around them. So instead spreading exaggeration, Pakistani media should resolve the problems with positivity.

               Pakistani News media is playing the same destructive role as were played by the Muslim leader of Colonel Time by protesting against the foreign education and adopting rational science. One of the major programmes of our media is to make sure that people do not think and use their intelligence, reason, understanding and sense of their own. In other word, make people stupid and help few to rule. This programme is called “Do as you get”.

Shows on Pakistani Media

               Media which uses this programme extensively in Pakistan. In such an environment, it is very easy for Big Powers to impose their agendas on the nation without any problem. These goals and agendas may be to get the political sovereignty, natural resources, occupy the trade routes or to propagate their positions, etc. but people think feels as if this is for religion. Main source of spreading this programme is through news channels. More people watch theses channels, more they are become zombies. News channels are full of fun, entertainment, color and gossips, which makes the people to attract more towards them. This is a nice move by media to make the people waiting for such programmes.

               In a country like Pakistan, which is facing the threats of terrorism, religious extremism and voilance and in the country where the norms and institution of democracy are not well established, media should play its role with a lot of responsibility. These threats are making the system dysfunctional and also decreasing the harmony and stability of society. So this is an additional responsibility of media that its operation should not lead towards the negativity. So, Pakistani social and electronic media should learn from the experience of other societies ridden by many conflicts. Pakistani media should play a positive role to strengthen the political stability and establish democratic institutions and a real Islamic and democratic society in our country.

HIGHER EDUCATION COMMISSION...!!!

The Higher Education Commission (HEC), formerly the University Grant Commission, is the primary regulator of higher education in Pakistan.Up till 2002, Universities were recognized by the University Grants Commission (UGC) which draws its powers from The University Grants Commission Act, 1974. Higher Education Commission of Pakistan (HEC) is responsible for higher education policy, quality assurance, degree recognition, development of new institutions and uplift of existing institutions in Pakistan. It also facilitated the development of higher educational system in pakistan. Its main purpose was to upgrade universities in Pakistan to be centres of education, research and development.

Dr.Atta ur Rahman actually changed the face of HEC and started the policy to send Pakistani youngsters outside the country for their higher studies.This step became a milestone in the educational development of pakistan and increased the number of Ph.Ds in Pakistan.

Prof.Dr.Atta ur Rahman

Dr.Javed Laghari

But PM Yousuf Raza Gilani during his regime tried to dissolve the HEC and in this he first stopped all the funds of HEC and upon asking of HEC,the PM relied that "We are facing bad economical problems these days." ,against which many had been held by young students of Pakistan and atlast PM had undo his decision and restore the commision.

Dr.Javed Laghari is now leading HEC in these days and HEC is working days and nights to educate Pakistani peoples...

The Mysterious 'Suicide' Case of Kamran Faisal

A few days back, we never heard of anyone named Kamran Faisal whose mysterious suicide (or was it death?) is now the talk of the town. Who is this person? Well, Kamran Faisal was Assistant Director in the National Accountability Bureau and was investigating the Rental Power Case.

Kamran Faisal

               Kamran Faisal was found hanged in his bedroom on 18th January 2013. He lived alone in his house in Islamabad.

               His death took place a day after the NAB Chairman, Fasih Bukhari, told the Supreme Court of the lack of evidences against Raja Pervez Ashraf to arrest him. The Supreme Court has ordered the government to form a commission to investigate the mystery behind the suicide.

               Initial post-mortem reports suggest that it was a mere suicide but the deceased's family blamed that Faisal was being pressurized to abandon the Rental Power Case. The family also showed the violence marks on the body of Faisal, suggesting that it may be a murder.

               Furthermore, cell-phone records of Kamran Faisal have been collected by the police, including text messages too. The SMS records strengthen the blames of Faisal's family about the work pressure. The last messages sent by Faisal to a friend - whose name has not been disclosed - said that he was asked to visit the NAB Chairman, Fasih Bukhari, and during the meeting with him, Bukhari forced him to leave the Rental Power Case.

The police is investigating the suicide case to date.

India’s tour of Pakistan hurt by tension at LOC...!!!

The latest tour of Pakistan to India was for three-match ODI series, in which Pakistan came out in flying colours and a two-match Twenty20 International series that was drawn. According to the Future Cricket Tour Programs (FTP) prepared by the International Cricket Council (ICC) India vs. Pakistan, bilateral series 2012-13 was scheduled to begin on December 25^th 2012. Organised by India, it was to consist of two T20 and three ODI matches and to end on 6^th January 2013.

Indo-Pak flags ...

                     

 It’s obvious that India Pakistan rivalry in matches is entertaining as well as intense that gathers and attracts millions of viewers and cricket fans towards it. So, mostly people were keenly looking forward to afford this upcoming tension for the sake of enjoyment attained in these matches but, the tensions at LOC has halted this event and has left cricket fans in anticipation for period unknown. Chairman of PCB Zaka Ashraf revealed on Wednesday 23^rd January that because of the killing of two Indian soldiers near the LOC, the chances of having the bilateral series have been minimized. Albeit seeing eye to eye for the accomplishment of the event, both India and Pakistan realise the plight that has occurred between them. The chairman further asserts that he is not at all disappointed by this setback and is hopeful that the revival of International Cricket will soon be observed.

                                    The efforts will be extended such that our honour and national pride are not compromised. Well, they shouldn’t be, because our pride has importance above anything, be it a game, a team that not considers our place safe or whatever. What is essential is, Pakistan, its individual strength comprising our people that remain unaffected in facing the repercussions while striving for its betterment.

EID MILLAD UN NABI S.A.W.W

Rabi ul Awwal, 3^rd month of Islamic calendar has been awarded with the great significance in the Islamic History. Allah Almighty blessed the whole mankind by the birth of Last Prophet Hazrat Muhammad (S.A.W.W). This month comes after the month of Safar al Muzaffar in Islamic calendar. This month has great importance among the whole Muslim Ummah because of the birth of Allah’s Last Prophet.

Eid Millad un Nabi

               Hazrat Mohammad Mustafa (S.A.W.W) was born on 12^th of Rabi ul Awwal on Monday in the city of Makkah. According to the Georgian calendar the year was 671 A.D. But according to many Islamic scholars the date 12^th of Rabi ul Awwal is not correct. Barelvi scholar Ahmed Raza Khan wrote in his Fatawa Rizvia that Prophet Muhammad (S.A.W.W) was born on 8^th of Rabi ul Awwal while 12^th Rabi ul Awwal was the date of his death. Similarly, according to Abdul Qadir Jilani R.A the Prophet (S.A.W.W) was born on 9th Rabi ul Awwal and on 12th Rabi ul Awwal he left this world.

               Muslims celebrate birth anniversary of Last Prophet (S.A.W.W) all around the world on 12^th of Rabi ul Awwal. People in Pakistan also celebrate 12^th of Rabi ul Awwal as the day of birth of their beloved Prophet (S.A.W.W). People decorate their house, Buildings, streets, roads and Mosques with lights and also mount a Green Flag. Also events of Eid Millad un Nabi take place in many places throughout the country. In these events, Islamic Scholars tell Muslims about the life of Holy Prophet (S.A.W.W) and Naat Khuwan Read Naats in the praise of Holy Prophet (S.A.W.W).

Decoration and Lighting on Mosque

For All Muslims, Eid Millad un Nabi is a symbol of love with their beloved Prophet. Such an occasion is a best way to remind the people about the teachings and life of Prophet (S.A.W.W). Allah Almighty directs us to follow steps of His beloved Prophet in Holy Quran.

According to Quran:

“Verily, in the Messenger of Allah, you have a good example for him who looks to Allah and the Last Day, and remembers Allah much.” (al-Qur’an, 33: 21)

               Many Muslims celebrate 12^th of Rabi ul Awwal as their 3^rd Eid. They call it Eid Millad un Nabi. However, not all Muslims belonging to different school of thoughts are satisfied with it. Neither they celebrate this birth anniversary nor they attend or conduct events of Millad un Nabi. They have a question that why they should celebrate birthday of last Prophet (S.A.W.W). They say:

• It is not 100% confirmed that Prophet Muhammad SAW was born on 12th Rabi Ul Awwal.
• Prophet SAW never celebrated his birthday.
• Sahaba (R.A) never celebrated birthday of Prophet SAW and not done anything special on 9th or   12th Rabi Ul Awal unlike many of us do.
• Eid Milad Un Nabi which is declared third Eid by some people is an invention which was created centuries after Rasool Allah SAW. We find nothing like Eid Milad Un Nabi in Hadiths or even in books of four Imams.

               They call it Biddah to celebrate any event which was not celebrated by the Prophet (S.A.W.W) himself or by his Sahaba (R.A). They said that there is no place of Eid Millad un Nabi in Islam and it is a Biddah (invention) in Islam. They said that if Muslim really love Holy Prophet (S.A.W.W), they should adopt his teachings and his way of life.

Mushaira___Identity of Pakistan...!!!

A  medium of expressing, giving vent to the sentiments, these are the poets that write their heart out and publish their work. People read poetry, renowned ones grant them with their worthy comments, they are recognized and praised and all in all the poets feel satisfied. But this all appreciation is not all what is requisite for the poetic people.

They also need to be listened openly, to be heard what they have to say. And here comes the oral tradition of Urdu, the Mushaira.  Mushaira in Pakistan is an important cultural element that need not be ignored. It gives propagation to not only the language but also to the esteemed ones’ expression that is actually worthy,  as these people have their intelligent and thorough look on the surroundings. They are watchful of the happenings inside the country and are best in conveying the messages that deserve to be understood and followed. A Dawn writer in Books and Authors also highlighted these Mushairas that serve as a forum for the poets. 

Food for thought

             A Mushaira, is a gathering of poets and some known people that gather together for the public recital of poetry. It has been a very intrinsic part of our cultural heritage since the birth of Urdu. Nowadays though Urdu is not given its actual importance but the Mushairas held, are contributing in keeping it alive.

 The entertaining Mushairas therefore should be kept alive for the communication and propagation of the beautiful art of poetry. This helps writers to express their thoughts in subtle ways and also their imagination when comes in open depicts the creativity and lustre of our culture.

Arfa Karim (Feb 2, 1995 – Jan 14, 2012), born in Jatt Randhawa family was a student from Faisalabad in Pakistan, who in 2004 at the age of nine years, became the youngest Microsoft Certified Professionals.She is an all-rounder. She has experiences from being the grand daughter of a poor farmer to meeting Bill Gates.Her father Major(R) Amjad Randhawa described the brilliancy of her daughter by using following words "Arfa is a pond of brilliancy.".Her aunty said in a Geo Tv program "EK DIN GEO K SAATH" that "The word 'brilliancy' is far less from her."

A thought is found in Pakistan related to Arfa that she has not been put to natural death, infact she has been murdered by slow poison.This thought is also found among the peoples of Pakistan that if Arfa would be alive then she would be the next Dr.Afia Siddiqui.

Arfa Karim

She also wrote about Bill Gates

*Born in October 1955, Programing was his only aim of life 

*Started programing at the age of 13, In his work he was really very keen

*Entered Harvard  in 1973, Thought more than a child could think to be 

*In 1975 begun Microsoft, With children he’s very soft 

*At the end I would just like to say, I like Bill Gates in every way

A brilliant student whose life came to an end due to cardiac arrest. The cardiac arrest was caused by an epileptic attack which also damaged her brain.Bill Gates also contacted Arfa's parents and ask them about Arfa's treatment and also hired a medical team for Arfa who contacted pakistani doctors of Arfa and overview her medical report through internet but Bill Gates was late.

Well in the end,unfortunately Arfa is no more with us and whole Pakistani nation mourns on it. All we can do for her is to pray for her soul and to keep her mission towards success.

RIP ARFA < PAKISTAN PRIDE>

Career Choices

At the birth of a child, the parents usually always ponder over what career will the newly-borned will choose. It may seem strange that nobody knows whether the child will live long enough to fulfill the dreams of his parents but, yet still, it's just like a tradition for parents to think the child's name as well as his future career.

Choosing a profession is an immensely important task in a person's life. It decides your future lifestyle(obviously due to the salary package you get :P). Parents want their children to choose a profitable career. Mostly, people think, in Pakistan at least, that medicine, accounting and engineering are the "only worthwhile" professions and that those who opt them are successful. Oh please, someone tell them that if that was the case, there would've been no artists, no chefs, no teachers, no psychologists and others who are rich and content in their lives. A child should be given freedom to decide a profession suitable for himself. The readers might remember the great movie 3 Idiots by Aamir Khan, the social message of which was to choose a profession of your interest, irrespective of the luxuries you get from it.

Enforcing a person to follow a particular career may damage his self-confidence and performance skills. I, being an engineering student myself, have seen so many people who are into their respective fields because of family or peer pressure and, believe me, many of them DO NOT have the least possible interest, saying that "Koi aur choice nahin thi tou ye field choose kee" (There was no other choice so I had to choose this field.).

A career which suits your interest enhances your capabilities and chances are that you will perform better in that field even in critical circumstances. Ending up in a field which is uninteresting to you makes you dull. Once you go for something challenging or upto your skills, you can enjoy your work. Nowadays, when companies hire you, they sometimes ask you whether the field itself fascinates you or not. Yes, it does add plus points for your job appointment! Choose wisely. Obeying your elders is a good trait but when it comes to your profession, use your mind to determine whether you are comfortable with it or not.

Pakistan Railway in crisis...!!!

Pakistan Railway, under the leadership of federal government with it’s headquarter in Lahore is an important source of transportation to carry millions of passengers throughout Pakistan. But the serious issue that the passengers, employees and the railway department are facing depicts the likely collapse to happen in the near future. In January 17, in Rawalpindi, its 100 employees retired because the authorities were unable to pay them due to the shortage of money. 

According to a senior Railway official the Prime Minister provided Rs 7.5 million from his development fund to be used in the improvement of the railway project. This amount was used in Gujar Khan City for the development of gas pipeline, tube well etc. The revenues earned by the Jhelum and Sargodha railway stations in Rawalpindi Division which are Rs 4 million and Rs 6 million monthly are better than the  revenues earned by the Gujar Khan station which are only Rs 700,000. White wash is also not done since seven years. We can only imagine the woes of Gujar Khan’s railway and its workers, but overall the Pakistan Railway is suffering a loss of 35 million every day. Rs 27 million it earns in a day are all used up in the diesel through which it runs.

Pakistan Railway

               When a hometown resident himself is not concerned and shows no serious attitude towards the destruction of such an important asset than how can be this matter considered or taken seriously on a  country level; it’s like the authorities are busy securing their own future over the ‘about to crush’ or ‘crushed’  future of the employees. Writing down the main problems faced in the PR department are:

• Lack of Government attention
• Shortage of locomotives
• Mismanagement
• Poor maintenance techniques
• Corruption
• Lobbies whose interests are ignoring this sector

              People are forced to take route of buses rather than trains due to the problems they face while travelling, such as mid way breakdowns, reservation of a birth which is sometimes only confirmed after the receiving bribes, normally the trains are too late and the facility of lights is also not available due to the failure of generators.

When there is care then there comes the hearty attitude of working for a task to its fullest, and when the importance is given to self benefits then carefree attitude exhibits, the same is happening here. Only a little attention towards Pakistan Railway will serve this asset its own purpose and life but if this made up crisis continues than its life is near to a downfall.
