Tourism train to run between Rawalpindi and Karachi

Author: Staff Report

The Pakistan Tourism Development Corporation (PTDC) and the Pakistan Railways will jointly run a special train from Rawalpindi to Karachi on December 25, to promote tourism.

The train named ‘Sada Salamat Pakistan’ would chug down the track on the pattern of the Azadi Train, that also travelled from Rawalpindi to Karachi in August this year to celebrate the Independence Day.

The Managing Director PTDC, Chaudhry Abdul Ghafoor, said that the Minister for Railways, Khawaja Saad Rafique, was extending full cooperation for the promotion of the tourism industry in the country.

He hoped the train would attract a huge number of people across the country and said the PTDC would establish tourism facilities at all railway stations to help boost the tourism sector.
