City Railway Colony
City Railway Colony (Urdu: سٹی ریلوے کالونی) is a neighbourhood in Saddar Town[1] in Karachi, Pakistan, and is part of the administrative district Karachi South. The colony encompasses the entire area south of Karachi City railway station and I.I. Chundrigar Road, stretching from Railway Street and the MagnifiScience Centre in the west to the Jinnah Courts and PIDC Bridge in the east. The southern boundary is marked by the Karachi Port Trust's container terminal and Moulvi Tamizuddin (M.T.) Khan Road. Despite its central location near the main business district on I.I. Chundrigar Road, the area remains largely neglected. Essential services such as electricity, gas, and water are irregular, often sparking social unrest and protests.[2] Infrastructure development is minimal at best, with major projects like the renovation of the railway bridge at City Railway Station being rare and sporadic efforts. Since 2018, Railway colony has been included in the NA-248 constituency of District West.[3] There are several ethnic groups including Muhajirs, Sindhis, Punjabis, Kashmiris, Seraikis, Pakhtuns, Balochis, Memons, Bohras Ismailis.
