The Punjab government on Monday successfully held the first test run of Orange Line Metro Train in Lahore. According to details, the train was run from Dera Gujran to Ali Town at the speed of 10 kilometres per hour to test the whole track and the efficiency of the vehicle. In May 2014, the Punjab government had signed a project with the chairman of the Chinese National Development Reforms Commission for construction of the train in Lahore. The train has a 27.1km track, spread from Ali Town to Thokar Niaz Baig, from Multan Road to Scheme Morr, Chauburji, MAO College, The Mall, Lakshmi Chowk and Railway Station, from Garhi Shahu Bridge to GT Road and UET and from Pakistan Mint to Dera Gujran. The train is said to be the common man’s ride that will move through places where people with low income and living standards are residing. The original deadline for completion of the project was December 25, 2017.
