KARACHI: Project director of the Karachi Circular Railway Ameer Mohammad Daudpota has said that the KCR revival is a certain project and the phase-1 of the project will be completely revived very soon.

Talking to journalists at his office, he said that the KCR revival project had been envisaged as a modern urban commuter service that would ultimately carry 700,000 passengers per day.

“Karachi city suffers from massive transportation issues, however, this service would alleviate the problems of Karachiites to a larger extent,” he added.
