Derailment: PR engineer suspended



By Our Staff Reporter


LAHORE, Aug 16: A divisional engineer was given warning while an assistant engineer was suspended from service on Tuesday for negligence which resulted in derailment of three Khyber Mail bogies on Aug 13 near the Cantt station.

Sources told Dawn that divisional engineer II Shahrukh Khan had been asked to be careful in future “for he is a close relative of a minister of state” while assistant engineer (civil) Qazi Jawwad Ahmad, who joined railways over a year ago, was suspended from service.

Khyber Mail, they said, was the 61st train derailed since January this year, that include 11 passenger, 13 mixed, one mixed goods and 36 goods trains.

“The increasing number of derailments cause colossal material and revenue loss in general and damage in particular the goodwill of the organization, especially when passengers are killed or injured,” they said.

Five people were killed while over two dozens were injured when a bogie of Narowal-bound 211-up derailed near Ferozwala on March 5.

Derailment of 13 container wagons near Rahim Yar Khan had on May 28 delayed several trains from five to 16 hours.
