“We are targeting the feasibility study to start this year or in 2025,” he said, adding he will get an update from the State Railway Department on the status and whether it has appointed a consultant. 

Responding to questions about the design of the railway, Shahelmy said whether the railway would carry passengers or freight will depend on the feasibility study.
