Published April 15, 2005

SIALKOT, April 14: Sialkot Chamber of Commerce and Industry President Qaisar S. Shabir has expressed concern over the re-closure of the Sialkot Express by the Pakistan Railways. Talking to journalists here, he said the PR had again placed the local businessmen and the public at the mercy of the transporters, charging inflated fares, by again closing the train.

He urged the PR chairman to restore the rail car service between Sialkot and Rawalpindi immediately for the benefit of local business community as well as the public.
