Protest mars train service in parts of country
LAHORE (DNA) – The ongoing protest against the Supreme Court (SC) verdict in Asia Bibi case has badly affected the timings of trains across the country.
According to details, rail service between Lahore and Faisalabad has been suspended while scheduled departure of Jaffar Express from Peshawar to Quetta has also been canceled.
On the other hand, Allama Iqbal, Karakoram, Khushaal, Awaam, Karachi and Pakistan Expresses faced delay due to lack of passengers.
Moreover, routes of several trains have also been changed in the wake of security concerns.
On October 31, Supreme Court (SC) had acquitted Asia Bibi, a Christian woman who was facing death sentence for blasphemy, and ordered to release her on immediate basis.
A three-member bench headed by Chief Justice of Pakistan (CJP) Justice Saqib Nisar and comprising Justice Mazhar Alam Khan Miankhel and Justice Asif Saeed Khosa heard the case during which, Asia’s appeal against her execution was approved.
Following the decision, the protesters took to the streets and blocked main roads in different cities.
