read their manifesto, it was available online a year ago, i haven't checked lately, they might have removed itI haven't heard about any claims which the Ruling Party made for PR. Please let us know as well whats they promised about PR
that is an eye opener, the amount of lies they told is amazing
i appreciate whats happening in railways but you do understand that this is not due to management change but massive investment in railway, if you are going to invest 10-20 billion dollars in railway you do expect the revenue to grow some whatYour logical reasoning look biased as things are improving. Changes are happening in Railway but it takes time, if you have said the same thing about PIA or Steel Mill i would have agreed with you. (Check how come railways earning has increased and is expected to earn 40 billion in current fiscal year, up from around 20 billion in 2013)
In 2013 when this Govt came Railway was running less than 10 Cargo trains, trains punctuality were always late, there were regular engine failures, no double track after Khanewal and a lot of other issues.
Now in 2017, 80+ engines are reserved for only cargo, railway has already earned 11 billion in current fiscal year(this alone can't be done if infrastructure is not getting well).
Track till Lahore is now doubled,
Trains punctuality is around 90%,
Risalpur Engine Manufacturing Factory is getting upgraded so that new types of engines can be manufactured in Pakistan
All in all its getting better. Its even started to look like Railway will come out of loss by 2019-2020 at max.
i doubt BOT will workGovt plans to expand railway network across country, especially Balochistan
The government has launched an ambitious plan to expand railway network throughout the country to link all parts together, especially Balochistan.
According to details, 2,965 kilometer long new tracks will be laid throughout the country which includes 1,761 kilometers in Balochistan.
Under the plan, 2,617 kilometer-long track will be upgraded, which include 1,064 kilometers in Balochistan.
The government has invited expression of interest to lay new railway tracks, rehabilitation and up-gradation of existing tracks on various sections via Build-Operate-Transfer basis.
The plan will help materialise Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif's dream of a developed and economically strong Pakistan.

as Chinese thought it was not viable yet and i agree
problem is there is not much fright in this area and corruption would mean it will not be much viable for transport
if it becomes a electrified line with grantee cheap electricity than it can be viable
