KARACHI, Pakistan: Prime Minister Imran Khan on Monday performed the groundbreaking of the long-awaited Karachi Circular Railway (KCR) project worth Rs 20.7 billion which will not only provide affordable transport facility to about half a million Karachities daily but will also reduce our collective carbon footprint.
