The train service between Balochistan and other parts of Pakistan is completely restored as the Jaffar Express departed from Quetta for Peshawar on Friday after a suspension of 17 days following a terrorist attack.
Member of the National Assembly, Jamal Shah, inaugurated the train, accompanied by the DS Railway and other railway officials.
The train, consisting of 10 carriages, left for Peshawar with over 400 passengers on board.
Passengers underwent strict security checks at the railway station, while stringent security arrangements have been made on the train.
Railway authorities have stated that the suspension of the train services resulted in a loss of Rs9 million.
Earlier, the Jaffar Express reached Quett from Peshawar after completing a 34-hour journey. It is the only train that passes through all the four provinces of the country.
