KARACHI: Pakistan Railways has started contacting chambers of commerce and other trade organizations to avail the railway service for their freight transportation as train is the cheapest means of transportation, says a PR release here on Sunday.

It said that Pakistan Railways is fully prepared to expand freight operations. On the instructions of the Minister of Railways, the manufacturing of freight wagons was urgently accelerated. The number of freight trains is expected to increase soon, which will help save fuel at the national level.
