ISLAMABAD: Federal Minister for Railways Hanif Abbasi said on Tuesday that Jaffar Express would resume operations from today.

The Pakistan Railways (PR) suspended its operations from Punjab and Sindh to Balochistan following the terrorist attack on the Peshawar-bound Jaffar Express near Bolan district last week.

During his interaction with journalists outside the Parliament House in Islamabad, the railways minister said drone surveillance would be launched to enhance security for train operations in Balochistan.

He added that CCTV cameras are also being installed at railway stations and other sensitive locations across the country to improve security.
