Pakistan Railways on Saturday unveiled a plan to restore several long-inactive railway routes across the country in a bid to improve connectivity and boost commercial activity.
According to official documents, the Sibi–Harnai section, closed since 2006, has already been restored.
The Ministry of Railways has also conducted a survey to evaluate the feasibility of reviving seven additional routes, including Mari Indus–Lakki Marwat–Bannu, Mandra–Bhaun, Faisalabad–Jaranwala–Katal Amara, Tando Adam–Tharu Shah, Mirpur Khas–Nawabshah, and Bostan–Zhob.
A detailed feasibility study has been prepared to assess the viability and potential benefits of these projects.
In addition to restoration, new railway links are being planned, such as connecting Thar coal mines with Chhor railway station to facilitate energy and industrial transportation.
