AS I moved from Multan to Lahore for my university admission, I was shocked to find out that most of the electric wires and iron poles provided for trains to run on electricity were missing. Owing to the electricity shortage, the system was not working. But should this national asset really meet this horrible end?
Millions and millions of rupees had been used up to install this infrastructure. May be in a few years we will compensate our electricity shortfall. Shall we again inject millions of rupees into the system?
Who is responsible for the loss: the ministry of Pakistan Railways? Or is it the respective districts’ bureaucrats or the police? I hope the authorities concerned will wake up and check the loss.

The attitude of the whole nation (I should have used the word "mob" and not "nation.") is responsible.

Who do you think have taken away the electric wires and poles?. People wo are living in Pakstan may have made some money out of the public property. The law and order situation is not good and there is no hope of its improvements so long people vote the same people in power.

Complain to US or UK embassy in Islamabad or may be set up a UN Commission to investigate and fix the problem. May be Mullahs can volunteer as labor force. You have several choices but just don't do it yourself.
