Railways Minister Sheikh Rashid Ahmed has said that 34 trains will stop running until the 15th of Ramazan as the number of people travelling has reduced amid an outbreak of coronavirus in the country.

Speaking at a press conference in Islamabad he said that some 12 trains will stop running from tomorrow, which include Khushal, Shah Latif and Ravi while the rest of the 34 trains will stop working from midnight on March 24.

The minister urged people to not travel unless necessary and said that no employees of the Railways department will be fired during this time.
