The construction of railways is the one that still serves the country. . It was constructed right outside Walled City at the intersection of the current day’s Empress Road, Allama Iqbal Road, and Circular Road. Mian Mohammad Sultan Chughtai, a former official of the Mughal Empire from 1859 till 1860, constructed Lahore Railway Junction. Had these not been constructed by the British, God knows how the situation would be. By the way, the primary objective in their mind was to facilitate the raw goods that was to be send to the motherland, England.
