ISLAMABAD (Dunya News) - Federal Railway Minister Hanif Abbasi on Sunday said that Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif has revived the China-Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC) through hard work and a clear vision.

He said that as part of CPEC’s restoration, nine industrial zones are being developed through which the industrial revolution is about to begin.
The minister added that ML-1 will help Pakistan take full advantage of its location in regional economic corridors, leading to long-term economic stability and growth.
Replying to a query about railways issues, he said that Pakistan Railways has great potential, which will be used to tackle challenges and turn them into opportunities.
He added that issues like train schedules, fares, cargo services, and encroached railway land will be addressed through effective policies.
