The federal government has announced that 40 railway stations in Punjab will soon have free Wi-Fi. This step is part of a broader plan to modernize Pakistan Railways and provide better services to the public.

Railways Minister Hanif Abbasi shared this news in an interview with a private TV channel. He said the government plans to invest Rs350 billion in Pakistan Railways to upgrade eight important branch routes in the province.

The free Wi-Fi will help improve the travel experience for passengers, especially those on long journeys or waiting at stations. Talks are also being held with the Sindh government to work together on upgrading railway routes there.
