Members of the National and Punjab Assemblies have praised the provincial government\u2019s plan to build an international-standard bullet train between Rawalpindi and Lahore, calling it a landmark initiative for Punjab\u2019s development.<\/p>\n

For the first time in the country\u2019s history, a bullet train project of international standards is being launched between Rawalpindi and Lahore, which parliamentarians believe will mark a major milestone in Punjab’s progress.<\/p>\n

Speaking on the matter, members of the National Assembly, Provincial Assembly, and Senate emphasised that the development of Punjab is integral to the development of Pakistan.<\/p>\n

They highlighted that it was former prime minister Nawaz Sharif\u2019s vision to initiate a bullet train project in the country. Senior Minister Marriyum Aurangzeb and Federal Minister for Railways Hanif Abbasi have reportedly completed the necessary groundwork to ensure the project’s success.<\/p>\n

Parliamentarians confirmed that Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif will soon lay the foundation stone for the project, which they described as the beginning of a new era of growth and prosperity.<\/p>\n

Former Senator Chaudhry Tanveer Khan stated that whenever the Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) comes to power, the country sets on a path of rapid development. In an interview with Express News, he remarked that the world is moving towards modernization, and Pakistan must keep pace.<\/p>\n

PML-N Member of the National Assembly Nuzhat Sadiq credited Maryam Nawaz for transforming Punjab into a developed province. Senator Nasir Mehmood Butt noted that modern transportation systems are critical to a nation’s progress, and the bullet train project stands as a shining example.<\/p>\n

Barrister Daniyal Chaudhry, MNA, highlighted that the bullet train will not only save time but also provide the public with a high-quality transport facility. Similarly, Provincial Assembly member Malik Iftikhar said that the bullet train from Rawalpindi to Lahore would significantly change the lives of the people.<\/p>\n

Senior PML-N leader Haji Parvez added that the completion of the bullet train project would result in considerable savings of both fuel and time.<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
