The Punjab Cabinet, chaired by Chief Minister Maryam Nawaz, has approved a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) for the Lahore to Rawalpindi high-speed rail project. The decision was made during a recent cabinet meeting focused on accelerating public service and infrastructure development across the province.
The high-speed rail project aims to connect Lahore and Rawalpindi with a modern, efficient, and rapid transit system. Officials say the new rail line will significantly reduce travel time between the two major cities, boost economic activity, and provide a comfortable alternative to road travel.
The cabinet also approved several other key initiatives, including the establishment of Air Punjab Private Limited, the launch of a cashless QR code strategy for retailers, and the creation of new electric bus depots in multiple cities. However, the high-speed rail project remains a centerpiece of Punjab’s vision for fast, sustainable, and integrated transport.
Chief Minister Maryam Nawaz emphasized that public service, rapid development, and transparent governance are the government’s top priorities. She assured that the Lahore-Rawalpindi high-speed rail will set new standards for connectivity and urban mobility in Pakistan.
The cabinet further directed relevant departments to ensure timely implementation and to coordinate closely with federal authorities and international partners for the project’s success.
