  • اور بھی غم ہین زمانے مین محبت کے سوا۔ سندھ کراچی مین لوکل ٹرین چلتی تھی اب بالکل بند ہے۔ بدین نا ہونے کے برابر ہین۔ اسی طرح بلوچستان مین ٹرین سروس انتہائ ناگفتہ حالت مین ہے۔
    ہمارے حکمران کی حالت ناک ہے نہین۔ ناک سے آگے نظر آتا نہین

  • I have recently travelled from Lahore to Rahim Yar Khan. It was a very pleasant experience. I travelled in business class. I was provided with very nice fresh food, clean and packed sheets and pillow. The staff was nice and polite. The train was driven smoothly and was on time. I have sweet memories for this travel. I wish more achievements for Pakistan Railway. I love my country and its people. Many prayers for all who have made my travel successful.

  • It will be a good project I.A if done with sincerity instead for personal gains. I would suggest that a network of trams may be established in Capital City to reduce the traffic burden and save the beautiful environment of Islamabad.
