QUETTA: Pakistan Railways has announced the suspension of all train services across Balochistan for Thursday, March 27, citing technical faults and necessary track repairs.
According to railway officials, the decision will halt operations on the province’s rail network for the entire day. The suspension will significantly impact major routes, including the cancellation of the Jaffar Express.
Officials confirmed that the Jaffar Express, which operates from Quetta to Peshawar, will not depart from the provincial capital. Meanwhile, the incoming Jaffar Express traveling from Peshawar to Quetta will be terminated early, with authorities directing it to be returned from Jacobabad.
In addition to the disruptions to the Jaffar Express, railway authorities noted that the Bolan Mail service from Quetta to Karachi and the Chaman Passenger train remain suspended indefinitely. These services had already been halted earlier and will not operate on Thursday as the maintenance work continues.
Authorities have advised passengers to check for updates regarding the resumption of normal service, which will depend on the completion of the ongoing repair work.
