The railways had taken the decision following a surge in the country's coronavirus cases, a notification said.
The Pakistan Railways had directed all divisional superintendents to ensure train bookings do not exceed 70% of the capacity, implement coronavirus SOPs, and not let any passengers onboard without a mask.
