The project of a business train and Shalimar Express has fallen as both projects have exhausted millions of Pakistan Railways (PR), hence the experiment to run a public-private railways venture has fallen flat on its face. It has also been learnt that the government wanted to privatize PR in phases, and public-private enterprises of business train and Shalimar Express were steps in that direction. However both failed miserably over what sources described as inability of PR to surge ahead without active government participation. Sources opined further that adequate allocations could help PR come out of its current quagmire of crises.
