No, I havenât made this up. It is the Real McCoy. This <b>Gem</b> could only emanate from the 400% Better Educated Pakistani Railway Engineers who have recommended such an action in the Pakistani National Interest!

TRAIN tracks are being sabotaged and their fish-plates are removed, causing unsafe situations. <b>According to a recent news report, the Pakistan Railways is considering <span style='font-size:12pt;line-height:100%'>welding of the fish-plates to the tracks</span>, eliminating this possibility.</b>
Modern train tracks are welded together and the length of a single track is 400 metres against the current run length of 10 to 12 metres. This not only reduces maintenance but it also makes the journey smooth. In Japan bullet train Shinkansen runs on welded lines. If we replace our current train tracks with the upgraded materials, the chances of sabotage will be reduced 40 times.
