The project was initiated in 2017 and was calendared to be completed by the end of 2018; with a budget of PKR 200 million. However, owing to the slow pace of development activities and some unexpected hurdles that impeded the construction process, the project was completed this year.
As per reports, the three-storey building has been developed after a state-of-the-art model and is equipped with waiting areas with attached bathrooms, booking office, reservation office, shops and canteens to cater to the passengers and offer conveniences. The administrative offices are set up in the basement and have been given ample space.
