PM orders linking Thar coal mines with railway network by March 2023

ISLAMABAD (HRNW) Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif on Wednesday directed the authorities concerned to link the Thar Coal Mines with the country’s railway network by March 2023.

During a meeting chaired by the prime minister, it was principally decided that the project of linking Thar Coal Mines with rail network would be jointly executed by the federal and Sindh governments. In this regard, Prime Minister Shehbaz and Sindh Chief Minister Murad Ali Shah would sign a Memorandum of Understanding.

The prime minister told the meeting that the development projects needed to be completed with “Pakistan Speed” as the previous government had inflicted irreparable loss to the country during last four years.

He said the government was trying to revive the development course which the previous government had deliberately kept halted during 2018 to 2022.

“During our previous governments, we accomplished development projects within record period. Rather than launching new development projects, the previous government halted ongoing ones wasting public money as a grave conspiracy,” he remarked.
