ISLAMABAD: Minister for Railways Azam Khan Swati Tuesday suspended a driver and an assistant who stopped their train at a non-station place in Lahore Division for their personal work, violating all rules and norms.

Swati said such incidents would not be tolerated at any cost and warned of strict action against all those showing irresponsible and non-professional attitudes in future too.
“Pakistan Railways is a national asset. We will not allow it to be used for personal purposes, ” the minister added.
