Historic Agreement Signed for Mughal Pura Engine Shed Modernization and Colony Relocation
A historic memorandum of understanding has been signed between the Government of Punjab and Pakistan Railways to modernize the Mughal Pura locomotive and engine-shed complex in Lahore. The agreement, reported in April 2026, allocates approximately Rs 5 billion for upgrading shed facilities, introducing new diesel-electric locomotives, and refurbishing heritage structures. A key component is a phased relocation program for residents of the adjoining Engine Shed Colony to new government-built housing blocks. The plan also includes establishing a vocational training centre for railway workers. This development has generated anticipation for improved employment conditions but also concerns among some long-time colony families regarding the resettlement process.
