ISLAMABAD, Pakistan: Out of 164,000 acres of land of Pakistan Railways, almost 8,000 acres land is under encroachment, it was revealed in a meeting on Institutional Reforms held in Islamabad on Friday.

The meeting was presided over by the Federal Minister for Education and Chairman Cabinet Committee to review the progress of the Pakistan Railways Restructuring Plan.

Showing his serious concerns over the encroachment of the Pakistan Railways land from Karachi to Peshawar, Shafqat Mahmood said that the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) government is determined to turn Pakistan Railways into a profit-making entity.
