QUETTA, (UrduPoint / Pakistan Point News - 16th Aug, 2022 ) :Deputy Commissioner Sibi Mansoor Ahmad Qazi on Tuesday denied the impression that the railway track near Bakhtiarabad area of Sibi has been washed away.
"Pakistan Railways authorities, as part of its preventive measure, temporarily suspended rail traffic on Quetta-Karachi and Quetta-Peshawar route," he said. The decision, apparently, was made to avert any untoward incident.
The DC noted that water coming towards the railway track had been diverted to the other side to avoid damage to the railway track.
The district administration was also taking urgent steps to drain the water on the railway track. Once the water was drained out from the railway track, the traffic would positively be restored, he added.
