The government of Sindh Province in Pakistan has once again sought financing from the Asian Development Bank to restart the Karachi Loop Railway project, which has been on hold for many years. The project is approximately 43 kilometers long, with 24 stations and a total investment of about 2 billion US dollars. It was discontinued in the late 1990s. The Asian Development Bank agrees in principle to support and suggests that the provincial government submit the documents as soon as possible for the board of directors to review. The project was included in the China Pakistan Economic Corridor in 2016, but multiple attempts at revitalization have been hindered.Editor/Gao Xue
