Pakistan Railways has introduced a significant development in its fare structure, announcing a 10% reduction in fares across all classes of its trains.
This move applies to both the AC classes of express and mail trains, as well as the economy classes of passenger trains. The revised fare structure will come into effect on September 23, marking a significant step towards making train travel more affordable and accessible for the general public.
This initiative is part of the government’s efforts to make train travel more accessible to the masses.
Additionally, Pakistan Railways has also undertaken a major restructuring effort, abolishing 1,967 posts in its commercial department under the Railway Rationalization Plan.
This move aims to streamline operations and ensure greater efficiency and resource management within the organization.
The abolished positions were spread across major divisions, including Peshawar, Rawalpindi, Lahore, Multan, Sukkur, Quetta, and Karachi.
The retirement of current employees occupying these positions has led to the closure of these positions.
The reduction in fares and the rationalization plan are expected to have a positive impact on the overall performance of Pakistan Railways, making it a more efficient and effective service provider.
