LAHORE: Federal Minister for Railways Sheikh Rasheed on Thursday said bureaucrats were not working as they were scared of accountability.

His ministry had reduced deficit of 4 billion rupees and increased 8,000,000 passengers, he said adding that Railways earned 10 billion rupees profit. He said trains would be run on time from September 15.
On Kashmir dispute, Sheikh Rasheed said Prime Minister Imran Khan fought Kashmir case very well. Every child of Pakistan stood with Kashmir, he added.
