The PR management has also finalized arrangements for these trains, following National Command and Operation Centre’s (NCOC) guidelines.
Earlier on May 2, the Pakistan Railways announced to limit the operation of the passenger trains in wake of deadly Covid-19 third wave.

As per health authority, all shops and business will remain closed except for essential services including grocery store, pharmacies, meat shops, bakeries and petrol pumps.
