After over 20 years of closure, the work for revival of Karachi Circular Railway (KCR) project is going to start by next month as arrangements have almost been finalized.


Karachi: Prime Minister Imran Khan will visit Karachi on Monday (today) to perform ground breaking of the long-awaited Karachi Circular Railway (KCR) project.
After over 20 years of closure, the work for revival of KCR project is going to start by next month as arrangements have almost been finalized.
As per details, the ceremony will be held at Cantonment Railway Station.
Reportedly, the KCR project will be completed in three years with a cost of 250 billion rupees—comprising 43 kilometre track with 16 stations.
Sindh Governor Imran Ismael said that Green Line Bus Service will be operationalized from October and K-4 water supply project will be completed by end of 2023.
Commissioned in 1964, the KCR was originally designed to help the employees of Pakistan Railways travel between their workplaces and their residences in Karachi’s eastern neighbourhoods.
The route of the old KCR started from Drigh Road and ended in Karachi. However, the railway ceased operations in 1999 after it suffered huge losses.
Meanwhile, in Karachi, Green Line bus services infrastructure has been completed and its buses have started the trial run.
The coastal city is expected to go into the dry run of the service for 10 days.
The Karachi Circular Railway revival project includes the transformation of the old KCR into a mass transit system for addressing the traffic congestion of the mega city of Pakistan.
