Gillani Railway Station

Gillani Railway Station abandoned railway station on Karachi Circular Railway loop line in Gulshan-e-Iqbal, In past it is a beautiful station but just take a look at the recent pictures that how this is ruined by lack of resources and care. The Question is who is responsible for this big loss? Either Governement or the local public that was using it in the past? The land is in no use but some homeless people are living there which no one cares. While visiting this place we get to know some untold stories and rumours about the place, meeting one person name Shabbir living there for last 15 years and he is homeless, railway station is his bedroom said that, "The last train that come on this railway station was 10 years back, he also added that a boys commit sucuide there by jumping on the bridge, there is also one story being circulated on the station that is of CHURAIL (witch) rides a horse which has no head. This story seems strange with no reality but it is a fact that if you leave a place like this definitely it will gonna be the place of some mysterious persons with some wrong motives, who for their own good spread rumors and false stories to spread fear in the area for local peoples to avoid visiting it in order to continue their actions easily. 

There are no signs of train, no signs of human but still local and rubbish advertisement is there to recall the general public about their existence. Still the building structure is in it real form but don't know when our Govt will take some action and pay attention to this railway station which is almost forgotten by the local public.

The picture of the railway track shows that it is still in running condition, but cant find the reason of ignorance from the Govt. Railway play an important role in developing countries to control traffic jams but here in our city situation is different, if local train start circulating from Gulshan to City Station convering other stations as well the problem of many people will be solved easily. 

Dont be confused, This is not the picture of any historical building or ruin from Moin jo Daro, this is the picture of Gillani Station's Booking office, that how this building is getting worse day by day just because of lack of attention. This this station is temporarily abandoned then when it will start again? And if it is permanently abandoned, then what is the purpose of wasting such a great piece of land for no good. This place can be utilized to make some university, college, research center even it can become a public park for the entertainment of local public.

Really??? You must be kidding.. Rail Ki Bahali.. But when will this happen? for how long Govt will play these sentimental sentences and make general public fool. A silent message for All.
