ISLAMABAD, Mar 03 (APP):Railways Minister Muhammad Hanif Abbasi on Tuesday announced revival of Bullhe Shah Passenger train service from May 28, aimed at easing travel and strengthening connectivity between Kasur and Pakpattan districts.
Suspended since November 2011, the train will run between Kasur and Pakpattan, with stops at Usmanwala,
Kanganpur, Mandi Ahmadabad, Basirpur and Haveli Wasawewala.

of Railways to restore the 257-Up / 258-Down service.
Abbasi also gave in-principle approval for a stop of Tezgam Express at Kot Radha Kishan, reaffirming the government’s commitment to modern and improved travel facilities. He said steps are being taken to enhance passenger convenience and rail connectivity across key routes.
In a major development initiative for Kasur, authorities have approved the establishment of a 25-acre park in the constituency of the Punjab Assembly Speaker and Minister of State Malik Rasheed Ahmad Khan.
