“We are waiting here to go to Multan but still no information about our train,” said Nabeel Ahmad who was sitting in the waiting room at Lahore’s railways’ station. “ On this off-day, we decided to travel through the train but we will never come again,” he further said. “Sheikh Rasheed makes political stunt but the functioning of a department under him is not functioning properly,” he also said.
Another man who had to go to Gujranwala said that he was waiting there since 9:00 am today. “The staff at the railways’ station just says that train is about to come but it is almost five hours time and no train,” he said. His children were shivering with cold during the wait.
The women, especially the elder persons faced huge trouble in the cold weather while waiting for the trains to reach their destinations.
