LAHORE: Pakistan Railways (PR) is facing a daily loss of over Rs30mn as its IT department fails to fully restore the nationwide crashed reservation system even four days, ARY News reported on Saturday.
From the last 96 hours, no online ticket bookings could be entertained, while the counter bookings also remain suspended. The passengers are suffering due to the incompetence of the PR department.
The E-ticketing system and rail communication could not be revived fully, while the internet connectivity of the Railway headquarters also remains suspended.
It was reported early Tuesday morning that the passengers face problems as the ticket reservation system of the Pakistan Railways crashed across Pakistan.
