Profit or just the yearly revenue.

its just revenue, we are looking for ways how to decrease just deficits and you talking about profits lol. If I remember correctly, the only ministry which is in profit is post(i.e communications) headed by Murad Saeed, rest are all trying to decrease as much deficit as they could.

unnay waaa bhurtian ki hoin hain gov. institutions me, pensions waghera, kidher se gov dey? train khacha khach bharii hoi hoti hai phir bhi deficit. Freight itni use nahi kartay, kiyonke tanker/truck mafia rona shroo ho jaata hai. Progress needs sacrifices, koi karna he nahi chahta...

Pakistan Railway was always earning something, question is what is the profit/loss

 

[Affan-khan]

Pakistan Post deficit is still 12 Billion. They increase Revenue but still in deficit

 

[Dr-who]

If railway is in defecit, then how come it's in profit, means revenues has increased by 10 billions, defecit has narrowed down, but still at loss
