LAHORE – Pakistan Railways has launched a four-compartment marriage car facility, specially designed for marriage parties wanting to use Pakistan Railways services. Pakistan Railways Public Relations Director Mohsin Yousuf while briefing media here at Lahore Railway Station on Wednesday said that thes new traveling facility includes a ‘mehndi hall’, a dining room with a fridge, a microwave and a separate compartment for the bride and groom.
The train can carry 27 individuals with a fare (one side) set at Rs 152,610 from Lahore to Karachi , Rs 54,170 from Lahore to Multan, Rs 50,030 from Lahore to Rawalpindi, Rs 74,640 from Lahore to Peshawar and Rs 141,220from Lahore to Quetta. Mohsan Yousuf said the facility had previously been launched in 2008 but it was shut due to technical difficulties.
To a question, he said, Railways would ensure the special marriage trains reach their destinations on time.
Only the decoration of room is not needed.
The coach is part of the train and trains never reach the destination in time. locomotives are failed in the way. Staff is courteous. Platforms are in shabby condition and edibles are tasteless and unhygienic. The venture was proposed in Sh. Rasheed's time but was put off due to shortage of coaches. From that time not a single coach has been manufactured. So obviously the Marriage Room has been developed on a repaired coach that can create a fuss any time in the way and on route.
