In a significant step towards inclusivity, Pakistan Railways has announced a 50% discount on train tickets for individuals with disabilities. The move aims to make travel more affordable and accessible for a segment of society that often faces mobility challenges.
According to an official statement, the discount is applicable across all classes on passenger trains nationwide. To avail of the benefit, passengers with disabilities will need to present a valid disability certificate issued by the relevant authorities at the time of booking.
The initiative reflects Pakistan Railways’ commitment to social responsibility and aligns with the government’s broader efforts to support marginalized groups. Speaking about the decision, Railways Minister [Insert Name] said, “This is a small step to empower differently-abled individuals and ensure they can travel with dignity and ease.”
The discounted tickets can be booked both online and at railway stations. Passengers have lauded the move, describing it as a much-needed gesture of support.
The decision is expected to benefit thousands of individuals across Pakistan, enhancing their mobility and participation in everyday activities.
