Summary Railways suspended 4 employees over alleged negligence; none of them is an officer.
LAHORE (Dunya News) - After continuously traveling to Lahore from his hometown Pakpattan for over six months to unsuccessfully get his pension case through to the bureaucratic process, 62-year-old railway staffer Rab Nawas died after a cardiac arrest.
Railway authorities scapegoated four employees by suspending them, Dunya News reported.
62-year-old Rab Nawaz worked as ‘Points man’ for the Railways and the railway authorities reportedly made the man come to Lahore several times in a span of six months to go through the bureaucratic pension case registration process. What seemed like a never-ending process resulted in cardiac arrest and subsequent death of the man.
Railway authorities said that the pension paperwork definitely takes ‘some time’ under normal circumstances and claimed that no negligence was made in Rab Nawaz’s case.
The 62-year-old deceased couldn’t get the due pension in his life, but authorities vow to pay all the dues to his family by Monday.
Railway authorities have suspended four employees over alleged negligence; none of them is an officer.
