Lahore:
Pakistan railways have once again launched efforts to manage passenger trains in collaboration with the private sector, publishing new advertisement to outsource the operations of 11 trains.
The trains selected for outsourcing include Hazara Express, Millat Express, Bahauddin Zakariya Express, Subak Kharam, Thal Express, Rawal Express, Badar Express, Ghauri Express, Ravi Express, Mohenjo Daro Passenger and Faiz Ahmad Faiz Passenger.
According to official sources, technical offers for the outsourcing process will be opened on August 12.
However, only two companies have submitted offers and that too for Shalimar Express only. No offer was submitted for the ten remaining trains. In light of the dull response, the PR decided to reset the outsourcing process for the same trains, hoping for a broader interest this time.
