Pakistan Railways freight: dry port approved at Khanewal
Pakistan Railways freight trains are the focus of a Lahore meeting that also approved a Khanewal dry port and five more weighbridges to curb overloading.
Pakistan Railways has set a target of running 14 additional freight trains by January, following demands from the business community.
The target was set at a meeting at the Railways Headquarters in Lahore, chaired by Federal Minister for Railways Muhammad Hanif Abbasi.
The meeting approved a dry port at Khanewal to boost freight revenue.
Five additional weighbridges will be installed across the country by December 31 to curb overloading.
An FIA investigation was to be sought into train examiners over accidents caused by mechanical faults.
