QUETTA: Train services have been restored bet­ween Quetta, Karachi and Peshawar after railway authorities repaired the track damaged in a blast carried out by unknown armed men the other day.

A senior Pakistan Rai­lways official told Dawn that the damaged section of the track was repaired within three hours, and all trains had reached Quetta.

“All trains have dep­arted for their destinations on time,” he added.
