The Hyderabad-Badin section of Pakistan Railway has started operating after a lapse of several years. When this train service was restored the peoples were happy due to low train fares and low fares for cargo. Initially the train was run at a speed of 60 km per hour and covered the distance in two hours. Nowadays, the speed has been reduced and it takes three and half hours to four hours. On the PR website the time given is two hours. Now the travelers are facing problems due to too much time wasted in the journey.
Pakistan Railways Divisional Superintendent, Mir Mohammad Khaskheli visited Badin before the inauguration, he said that more than four acres of railway land had been given to district government for construction of a library, a playground and a park for the citizens, while only Benazir Bhutto Park has been constructed and there is no playground. The Library may just be dream. I would like to remind the administration of the city of the promises made.
