According to railway administration officials, the suspension decision was taken after reviewing the current operational conditions. Authorities said passengers had already been informed about the cancellation through official channels.

Railway officials did not provide detailed reasons behind the suspension but described the situation as unavoidable. They added that the restoration of services would depend on a review of the prevailing conditions in the coming days.
The Jaffar Express is considered one of the major train services connecting Balochistan with other parts of the country. The train regularly carries a large number of passengers between Quetta, Peshawar, and several cities along the route.
Travelers expressed concern over the continued suspension, especially those with urgent travel plans. Some passengers also faced delays in arranging alternative transportation after the service was halted again.
Authorities said railway teams are closely monitoring the situation before making a final decision regarding the resumption of operations. Officials emphasized that passenger safety and operational stability remain their top priorities.
The continued disruption has also created pressure on other transport options, including buses and private vehicles operating on similar routes. Many passengers are now waiting for confirmation about when the Jaffar Express service will fully resume.
