KARACHI: Sacked employees of Pakistan Steel Mills (PSM) have called off their protests on Wednesday and relieved the blocked main railway track near Bin Qasim which suspended the rail traffic for many hours, ARY News reported.
Pakistan Express train has now left for its destination Pindi after 10 hours of obstruction at Landhi station due to the protests while other trains Rehman Baba and Shah Hussain have resumed their trajectory towards Karachi after 12-hour protests-led stoppage.
Other trains such as Allama Iqbal Express, Karakoram Express, and Business Express have embarked on their journey out of Karachi, as well.
According to the reports, the departure of Lahore bound Shah Hussain and Karachi Express have been postponed now.
It may be noted that earlier today, education and labor minister for Sindh Saeed Ghani of Pakistan Peoples Party said he has held talks with protestors on behalf of the government and has taken note of their grievances who later have agreed to his advice of calling of protests.
