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.
