Pakistan Railways has restored the Mohenjo Daro Express after a suspension of nearly six months, bringing back an important rail service for passengers travelling between Rohri and Larkana.
The train service had been suspended because of insufficient revenue. Its restoration is expected to provide passengers with another travel option and improve rail connectivity for communities along the route.
The Mohenjo Daro Express resumed operations from Rohri station on Sunday with six coaches. Several hundred passengers travelled on the first restored service, marking the return of the train after a prolonged suspension.
The train reached Larkana in the afternoon, where a large number of people gathered to welcome the passengers and railway staff. The arrival marked the resumption of a service that had been awaited by passengers in the region.
The restoration of the Mohenjo Daro Express is particularly relevant for residents who rely on railway services for affordable travel between cities. Train connectivity can also provide an important transportation option for students, workers, families and other regular travellers.
Pakistan Railways had previously suspended the service due to concerns over revenue and operational sustainability. The decision to restore the train indicates a renewed effort to resume the route despite the earlier financial challenges.
With six coaches operating on the first journey, the restored service will now again serve passengers travelling through the Rohri and Larkana areas. Further operational details, including the regular schedule and frequency of the service, will be important for passengers planning future journeys.
The return of the Mohenjo Daro Express also highlights the continuing importance of rail connectivity in Sindh. Reliable train services can help connect communities and provide passengers with an alternative to road transportation.
The welcome received by the train and railway staff in Larkana reflected local interest in the restoration. For many passengers, the return of the service means greater choice when travelling between destinations served by the route.
Pakistan Railways has been working to maintain and restore train services while facing financial and operational pressures. The Mohenjo Daro Express is among the services whose operations have been affected by revenue-related challenges.
Passengers planning to use the restored train should check the latest official Pakistan Railways schedule, fares and station information before travelling, as operational arrangements can change.
The restoration of the Mohenjo Daro Express after nearly six months provides renewed rail connectivity between Rohri and Larkana and gives passengers another transportation option in the region.
