PROBLEMS remain in the performance of the Pakistan Railways (PR). One of them is the short number of train stops at Pano Aqil Cantonment, which vexes the public no end.

The surprising part is that Pano Aqil Cantonment is one of the largest cantonments of the country, yet many trains don’t stop here. It creates enormous problems for the citizens.

The authorities concerned are requested to take this issue on an emergency basis.
