110km/hr in this day amd age? Is this a joke? Pathetic.

For pakistan this is a miracle.

They were giving away free not firing everyone and closing the steel mill.

Anyone logical who get it for free. Would fire 80 percent of the politically hired person without any money.
Government atleast is giving golden shake hand which would give 23 lakh to the lowest grade employee and 1caroe to the highest grade.
All the steel Mills owners having steel Mills larger then Pakistan steel Mills operate with 2000 staff, an our white elephants runs with 8000 staff.
The very reason for the ruin of steel Mills is described as good thing by you. Try Using your Brian sometimes.

This is Tax money, these people did not work for so many several years and doing other jobs, but Pakistan govt is giving billion of rupees just for nothing. People are dying from hunger but they do not have money to feed them. Now everybody is against the lay off.

If I remember correctly PSM had roughly 15,000 employees. Over the period roughly half have been laid off. The rest shall be laid off this year. It is a continuing process over the period of time.

Pakistan is using broad gauge. The neighboring countries are using standard gauge except India. Any Idea what gauge this project will be? If they convert our lines to standard gauge than trains can run all the way to London.
