I request Maryam Nawaz Sahiba to plz check and take strict actions on it.
Fine only Rs 2000, for using dirty oil and expired item? Or there was underhand dealings?
Railway is getting worse day by day due to c o r r u p t i o n
Such a big criminal act and a fine of only Rs.2000 ,is not at all justifiable.May be the authorities have a good relation with the Vendor of that train.
