Resumption of train services stressed
Local residents of Chaman have appealed to the Balochistan government and Member of Provincial Assembly Asghar Khan Achakzai to resume Quetta-Chaman train services. It is pertinent to note that passenger train service from Quetta to Chaman is still suspended since the last six months when the government suspended train operation following the coronavirus pandemic in the country. Although passenger train services resumed in the entire country, train service between Quetta and Chaman still remains halted causing woes for travelers as fares of local cabs from Quetta to Chaman have risen. Hundreds of travelers regularly travel through Quetta to Chaman via train and road transport and are demanding immediate resumption of Quetta-Chaman passenger train service.
