The journey by a train is not only considered cheap or safe but also most comfortable one. Upto late eighties when there were plying very limited number of vehicular public transport on the roads. The journey by train was very useful and interesting means of transportation for passengers specially for poor ones. The rich or the poor preferred to travel by train to go from one city to another. The service and facilities of railway system were appreciable and praise worthy. Hundreds of thousands passengers liked to travel by trains to reach from one destination to another and enjoyed their train journeys to a great deal. In past all the govt employees teachers, doctors, army jawans, police personnel and students always use train service on discounted and cheaper fair. The timings and service of trains were so good that people make long queues to buy tickets and go on journeys by Pakistani trains from one railway station of country to another. Unfortunately during lock down of COVID-19 the service of Khushal Khan Khatak express train was suspended due to fear of spread of pandemic Corona Virus. But till today the masses are deprived of the train facility. Anyway now when the vaccination process has been accelerated in the country and it has been made mandatory upto the age of 17 years old and above by Federal government. According to a statistics so for more than five million people all around the country got both doses of vaccination against COVID-19. Its good omen that the situation of COVID-19 is not so worse and alarming in our country as it was reported in neighbouring country India few months back. Now the life turned to normalcy after speedy vaccination process in the country. On the other hand the ratio of the positive cases is also decreasing day by day and on the other hand the social and business activities are on usual and public transport is back on the roads. Right now it’s need of the hour that for the best interest of hundreds of thousands poor passengers the service of Khushal Khan Khatak express train should be restarted without any further delay to provide the masses a cheaper and comfortable facility of traveling by train. No way the stoppage of Khushal Khatak express train is logical and reasoning. However, Karachi to Peshawar public demands from the honourable Prime Minister of Pakistan Imran Khan and minister railways Azam Khan Swati that the service of Khushal Khan Khatak express train be restored forthwith to facilitate the masses.
