Resumption of train operation to be decided today: Sheikh Rasheed

ISLAMABAD (92 News) – Minister for Railways Sheikh Rasheed Ahmed has said that Prime Minister (PM) Imran Khan has called a meeting on Monday to decide about starting train operation in the country. The minister hoped that train operations across the country would resume from Wednesday, saying that the move cannot be delayed as people stuck in different cities due to the coronavirus-induced lockdown are desperate to return to their hometowns to celebrate Eid with their families. Sheikh Rasheed Ahmed said if Prime Minister Imran Khan would allow to run the trains then operation would be started from Wednesday for all over the country. He said all Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) would be adopted during the train operation. Addressing a news conference, the railways minister said the final decision regarding resumption of train operations would be taken after a meeting with Prime Minister Imran Khan.
