QUETTA: The service of Jaffar Express, which runs between Quetta and Peshawar, will remain suspended for two days, Pakistan Railways officials said.

“There will be no train from Quetta for Peshawar on August 25 and 26,” the officials said.

The ticket money was refunded to the passengers who had booked their seats for August 25 and 26 by the railway authorities.

The officials have not disclosed reason for suspension of the train.

So far this month, the Jaffar Express has been suspended at least three times.

Earlier, the Quetta-bound train from Peshawar was terminated at Jacobabad railway station.
