RAWALPINDI: Railways Minister Sheikh Rasheed announced on Tuesday partial restoration of passenger train services in the country from May 1.
“We will start the train operation on a limited scale from May 1,” the minister told reporters.
Pakistan suspended passenger train services from March 25 in a bid to stem the coronavirus spread.
The virus has so far killed 191 people, while the number of known cases in Pakistan has exceeded 9,462.
Rasheed said that well-off individuals would have to help the poor in this difficult time.
He also suggested the prime minister reconcile with his political opponents and the media.
