Lahore-Karachi Green line-style train on the cards

The CEO of Pakistan Railways, Aamir Ali Baloch, announced plans to introduce a new train service similar to the Green Line, which will operate between Lahore and Karachi.

He also revealed that the upgrading of all railway coaches will be carried out in phases.

During an e-Kachhari session, Baloch emphasised that the primary focus of Pakistan Railways is to provide improved travel facilities for passengers. He highlighted the introduction of modern technology within the organization as a positive development.

Baloch further shared that Pakistan Railways successfully restored the Bolan Express service within just 45 days using its own resources. Additionally, the railways are actively repairing tracks and bridges damaged by recent rains with their internal resources.

To improve facilities at railway stations, the CEO instructed the concerned Divisional Superintendents to enhance the availability of clean water, benches, and other amenities at stations like Padidan and Sialkot.

In response to concerns about encroachments on railway land in Faisalabad, Baloch issued immediate orders for the Divisional Superintendent of Lahore to take action and remove the encroachments and illegal occupation by land mafias.
