Quetta: In light of heightened security concerns, the railway administration has partially suspended train operations to Quetta, leaving thousands of passengers facing severe difficulties. According to railway officials, the Jaffar Express, traveling from Peshawar to Quetta, and the Bolan Mail, traveling from Karachi to Quetta, have been stopped at Jacobabad Railway Station due to increased security threats.
