Why it matters

Some supportBrind's analysis of the reports

The request addresses how to monetize underused property while balancing the operational needs of Pakistan Railways. Experts suggest the plan must clearly define the transaction—such as leasing or selling—and ensure that land required for freight handling and maintenance is protected.

Shehbaz Sharif is directing authorities to modernize the Pakistan Railways network to boost trade and the economy. The country and Pakistan Railways are also cooperating on developing a multimodal logistics network.
