SC has ordered Pakistan Railways to operate Royal Palm adequately well !! No bureaucratic set up can function like a private commercial concern whose reputation and money are at stake. What the Dickens would Pak Railways management stand to lose if the Royal Palm goes to dogs or into loss or loses all its clientele? Nothing. The Administrators, who would have no stakes at all except their

Threats and counter threat statements and moves from both sides are drawing the situation nearer to a flash point where even a small unwitting misunderstanding, whether by design or default, could explode it into a horrific conflagration anytime.
