Raiwind Railway Station

Pakistan Railways is frozen in time.

Why a newly constructed railway station has to be given an old look and why all railway station has to look alike with all this 200 year old tacky fake colonial/Mughal mix or rather distorted colonial architecture.

A modern look of Pakistan Railways begins with giving a modern, neat and clean look to the railway stations as well.

This is an obscure and dated policy of PR...need to embrace modernity and stop being frozen in time.

Lahore Airport was given an old Mughal look and was a disaster, the most hideous and tacky building planned.

Nawaz Sharif Likes these structure.

Nawaz Sharif Likes these structure.

Nawaz Sharif is done and dusted...think Nawaz Sharif like minded Patwaris are still in the PR, and the mindset remains the same...the darbari style and with all the abysmal taste and aesthetics.
