Punjab’s Information Minister, Azma Bokhari, has announced two major projects aimed at improving transportation in the province.
The first project is the launch of “Punjab Air,” a new domestic airline. The service will operate using leased aircraft and will offer flights within Pakistan. This initiative is expected to make air travel more convenient and affordable for people across the country.
The second big development is the introduction of Pakistan’s first-ever bullet train. The high-speed train will run between Lahore and Rawalpindi, completing the journey in just a little over two hours. This project is a significant step forward for Pakistan’s railway system and aims to reduce travel time, improve connectivity, and boost economic activity between two major cities.
During the announcement, Azma Bokhari spoke about Pakistan’s progress and resilience. She highlighted that Pakistan is a peaceful and strong nation, capable of facing any challenge that comes its way. She emphasized the government’s commitment to modernizing the country’s infrastructure and providing better facilities to the public.
These new initiatives are being seen as part of broader efforts to modernize Pakistan’s transportation sector and promote regional development. If successfully implemented, they could open up new opportunities for business, tourism, and daily travel, making life easier for millions of people.
The projects also reflect the government’s vision for a more connected and progressive Pakistan. Further details about the start dates, ticket pricing, and schedules for “Punjab Air” and the bullet train service are expected to be shared soon.
Public response so far has been mixed, with many expressing excitement while others are waiting to see how quickly these ambitious plans will be turned into reality.
