Staff shortage at PR inquiry office

Published January 15, 2002

NAWABSHAH, Jan 14: People of Nawabshah are facing various problems due to no service being provided at the railway station’s inquiry office (No117) after 10:00 pm.

The reason behind the inconvenience is said to be an acute shortage of railway staff at the station. Even an entrance gate to the platform has been closed permanently due to the same reason.

Sometimes a ticket checker, sometimes a stall holder, and sometimes a sweeper have been seen working at the inquiry office even during the day due to the shortage of staff.

When this correspondent contacted the station master, Amani Malik, he elucidated that there was shortage of staff even at the Rohri and Rahim Yar Khan railway stations and all because of the policies of the Pakistan Railways.

FREE EYE-CAMP: A free eye-camp was organized by Dr Manzoor Mirza in Azimabad village where almost 2,000 patients were examined on Monday.

It was visited by the district Nazim, Ms Faryal Talpur, who urged the people to come forward and help the poor and needy.

She said, “To serve humanity is a great worship.”

She appreciated Dr Mirza’s efforts for serving the needy.

She appealed to the people to organize such free camps and help humanity.
