Train service between Quetta and other parts of the country resumed after seven months on Saturday.

Governor Balochistan Malik Kakar and DS Railways see off the Jaffar Express from Quetta Railway Station. The nine-coach train is carrying 850 passengers to Peshawar.

The train service was suspended after a bridge, built by British rulers, collapsed near Bolan’s Machh town last year due to heavy rains and flash floods.

The collapsed bridge is located between Machh and Kolpur at Hirak in the mountainous Bolan valley.

A total of Rs 650 million was spent on the reconstruction of the bridge.
