PM Shehbaz launches new Lahore-Karachi business train

WEBDESK: Prime Minister PM Shehbaz Sharif has said on Tuesday it’s not the responsibility of Pakistan Railways to own or manage land.

He said this when addressing the new Pak Business Express train launch in Lahore. The train will run between Lahore and Karachi and offers modern facilities for passengers.

The prime minister praised former railways minister Khawaja Saad Rafique for his efforts. He highlighted Saad Rafique’s role in recovering illegally occupied railway land and improving railway stations.

Shehbaz Sharif said Pakistan Railways owns large areas of land across the country. Some of this land is located in major cities like Karachi, Lahore, and Rawalpindi, and is worth a lot of money. This makes it a target for land grabbers.

He added that while railways plays a key role in public transport, its job is not to manage land.

The prime minister also praised the current railways minister, Hanif Abbasi. He said Abbasi had been given the task of outsourcing certain services in the department.

Speaking about improvements in railway services, Shehbaz Sharif said better facilities for passengers are a top priority. He also appreciated the digital ticketing system introduced by Pakistan Railways.
