Railways Minister Sheikh Rashid has said that the train services have been resumed across the country even though the move will land the department into a loss.

Addressing the media, Rashid said that the money lost will be recovered once "corona is gone".

"Government's job is to be a government, not to be a trader or look out for profit. We didn't care about profit. The train service was resumed after a lot of difficulties, you have no idea. None of the provinces were ready," he said.
