ISLAMABAD:
Railways Minister Hanif Abbasi on Tuesday pledged to modernise Pakistan Railways, saying ongoing reforms — including state-of-the-art stations, digital upgrades, enhanced passenger services, increased revenue collection, and expanded regional connectivity — are key to transforming the sector.
He expressed these views while addressing the National Tourism Award 2025 ceremony.
Abbasi urged Discover Pakistan to spotlight Pakistan Railways’ reforms, successes, and public-service initiatives, noting that the broadcaster already plays a vital role in presenting the country to the world.
