Transport Minister Sindh Syed Awais Qadir Shah on Wednesday demanded of Railways Minister Sheikh Rasheed Ahmed to close down train services from the Sindh province amid fears of coronavirus spread. “Likewise the Sindh province has announced a ban on inter-city buses, the federal government should also ban travelling via train,” he said adding that it was complicating the efforts to tackle the virus as many people from other provinces are arriving in the province unchecked. Shah said that the Railways authorities have no resources to deal with the situation as even their employees are not provided with masks to avoid coming in contact with the virus. “Thousands of people travel in the trains on a daily basis and it could become a cause of virus spread on large scale across the country due to lack of screening facilities at the stations,” he said. The minister, however, refuted reports of shutting down online bus services within Karachi and said that they have yet to make a decision regarding its closure.
