Samjhauta resumes service

THE THIRD GENeRATION TAKES CENTRE STAGE

The Samjhauta Express, the Indo-Pak train that was suspended in the wake of violence in Pakistan after the assassination of former Pakistan premier Benazir Bhutto, today resumed service.

According to a railway official, the decision was taken "after consultation with the home ministry, the external affairs ministry and railway officials of Pakistan".

However, the Thar express, the second Indo-Pak train that goes via Rajasthan, continued to remain suspended in view of the ongoing mayhem in Sindh, the home of Bhutto.
