Train services from Quetta have finally resumed after being suspended for four days. This move comes as a relief for travelers who rely on these routes, especially with the Jaffer Express departing for Peshawar at 9 a.m. today. However, it’s important to note that train services to Chaman remain suspended for now.
The decision to halt services followed a tragic explosion at the Quetta railway station, which claimed the lives of 28 people and left over 60 others injured. The Railway Department took immediate action after the incident, prioritizing the safety of passengers and staff by temporarily suspending the train operations.
This tragic event sent shockwaves through the local community and has raised serious security concerns, prompting railway authorities to reassess and bolster security measures across the network. Though the return of the Jaffer Express is a positive step, many in the region continue to mourn the lives lost in the incident.
As the train service resumes, officials assure that additional security measures are now in place to protect passengers. While it may take some time for everything to return to normal, the resumption of this key route marks a hopeful sign for the people of Quetta who depend on the railway for daily travel.
