A seminar on 'Railways Vision' is being organised here on Friday to focus on economic well-being of Railways to meet the international standards. The Prime Minister Shaukat Aziz is likely to be the chief guest at the inauguration. Minister for Railways Sheikh Rashid Ahmed talking to APP said steps were being taken to reinvigorate the Railways by putting it on improved track.
He said a number of proposals would be given due consideration at the seminar, including replacement of existing railway tracks, besides engaging private entrepreneurs for the running of new locomotives and coaches thus offering more facilities and comforts to the passengers.
The minister said the Railways was actively working for the up-gradation of the existing signalling system as an effort to make it more fool-proof and error free through computerisation.
