Pakistan Railways to operate four special trains on Eidul Fitr

Railways Minister Hanif Abbasi on Monday announced that Pakistan Railways will operate four special trains to facilitate passengers during Eidul Fitr, ARY News reported.

He was addressing media in Islamabad outside the Parliament House.

Hanif Abbasi stated that Pakistan Railways will offer a 20per cent special discount to passengers traveling on Eidul Fitr.

Millions of commuters travel from mega cities to their hometowns on Eid, leading to increased demand for transport. While private transporters hike fares, many passengers prefer trains for a comfortable journey with families and children.

On February 28, the Pakistan Railways administration announced revised working timings for reservation offices across the country during the holy month of Ramadan.

According to a notification, the morning shift is operating from 7:30 AM to 12:30 PM, while the evening shift is functioning from 12:30 PM to 5:30 PM.

However, reservation offices that operate on a single shift is continuing with their existing working hours.

The new timings will remain in effect until the 15th of Ramadan, after which all reservation offices will revert to their previous schedules.

This adjustment aims to facilitate passengers and staff during the fasting month, ensuring smooth operations while accommodating Ramadan routines.
