With Pakistan's geography and demographic distribution, railway is the most suitable form of transportation. but it has been ignored for too long. This has forced people to rely on expensive road transport.

For the first time, Punjab government is working in JV with Pakistan Railways to upgrade infrastructure on one of the busiest route Lahore-Rawalpindi to reduce travel time from current 5:30 hours to just 2:15 hours.

Hopefully this will eventually be expanded to entire ML-1 and freight component added too.

Not just that, provincial government will also be launching multiple trains on many new routes locally.

This is good, hopefully other provinces will do the same.

This brings CA surplus for first 9 months of current FY.

Need to work on increasing exports rather than controlling imports to keep CA deficit low. Need to add value addition to process what we consider waste here like furnace oil.
