(Web Desk) - Pakistan Railways on Saturday restored railway operations in Balochistan after a three-day suspension, resuming train services under a normal schedule.
Officials privy to the development have confirmed that railway operations in Balochistan have returned to normal, with the Jaffar Express departing from Quetta to Peshawar at its scheduled time. The return service from Peshawar to Quetta also resumed on Saturday morning, restoring key passenger connectivity across the province.
Earlier, railway operations in Balochistan had been suspended due to what authorities called “unavoidable circumstances.” The suspension affected multiple routes, including services to and from Quetta. The Jaffar Express departure from Quetta was halted, while the return train from Peshawar was sent back from Jacobabad. Other services, including the Bolan Mail and Chaman passenger trains, were also temporarily stopped.
The suspension came shortly after a deadly explosion near a railway track in Quetta’s Chaman Phatak area, which resulted in the loss of 14 lives.
Following the incident, security concerns increased across the region, directly affecting railway operations in Balochistan. However, Pakistan Railways has now resumed services under normal schedules, aiming to restore passenger confidence.
