    Federal Minister for Railways Sheikh Rashid Ahmad Thursday said Prime Minister Imran Khan would inaugurate Sir Syed Express Train on June 30.

    Talking to media, he said all nation was standing by Pakistan Army and if any aggression by India would be given befitting response.

    The minister announced that he would get retirement after the completion of Karachi-Peshawar Main Line Track-1 and Leh Expressway.

    He said private sector was offering the diesel rate on low price Rs1 per liter comparing with Pakistan State Oil, adding, "We do not want to shift the burden of high prices of petroleum on passengers traveling from train while Railway was not facing any shortage of diesel," he added.

    The minister said Pakistan Railways had given 50% discount on Eid Special Trains besides facing revenue deficit to accommodate the passengers.

    He said a system was being evolved to increase the revenue of Pakistan Railways from their own resources.
