Sir: Last year, China punished 54 people over a fatal train crash that killed 40 people. The 54 were tried for design flaws and poor management. It was the result of the inquiry into the crash in the nation’s flagship, high-speed rail network. The crash occurred due to a signalling error. The cabinet blamed the ministry of railways for not properly handling rescue efforts, for not issuing information quickly and for failing to address public concerns in a proper fashion. More than 1,000 passengers have died in Pakistan train crashes so far. Does anyone remember anything related to punishment in Pakistan? Pakistanis are very fond of everything that China does and tries to mimic them. Why do we not look at their accountability system and implement that too? Government has decided to introduce the Chinese language in schools. One hopes that the course includes the Chinese way of working. S NAYYAR IQBAL RAZA Karachi
