It is pertinent to mention that former PM Nawaz Sharif during his pre-election campaign had promised to launch Orange Line Metro Train in Faisalabad if his party came to power.
The former three-time Prime Minister had said that his brother, Shehbaz Sharif, would launch a metro train in the city if his party secured victory in the upcoming elections.

Thank you, the industrial city and labors need this better public transport.
Good decision.
One additional request: Previous government of PTI bought foreign buses. But Pmln’s focus should be to buy locally made buses. Gujranwala is a hub of local bus manufacturing. Please upgrade local facilities and assemble all buses locally. This will generate a lot of local jobs. Tha
very good decision CM Panjab grate
