In Pakistan and Sri Lanka, the whole working organization is currently 1,676 millimeters, yet both Bangladesh India actually have a modest quantity of meter-measure rail.
Both the Pakistan and Bangladesh railroads are enterprises; notwithstanding, in the two nations, the clergyman of rail lines and the public authority assume a huge part in their administration and financing.
