Train Services between India and Pakistan

The train services in operation between India and Pakistan are i) Samjhauta Express (from Attari-India to Lahore-Pakistan via Wagah). This route is also opened for the movement of freight trains and ii) Thar Express (from Munabao-India to Zero Point Railway Station near Khokrapar –Pakistan).

Freight train movement was disrupted from December 23, 2010 to December 29, 2010 as a result of delay in the issue of visa to the Indian Loco Pilots by the Pakistan High Commission in New Delhi. The matter was taken up with the Government of Pakistan and resolved amicably. However, passenger services were running smoothly.

Financial loss due to the disruption of freight services between 23rd and 29th December, 2010 has been assessed at approximately Rs. 19,71,893/-.
