India on Sunday decided to restore a train service to Pakistan, two days after suspending it over security concerns in the wake of violence over Benazir Bhutto's killing, the railways ministry said. "The situation has improved. So, the government has allowed the services to be resumed," said Anil Saxena, a spokesman for the railways ministry.
The "Samjhauta (friendship) Express" that runs between New Delhi and the eastern Pakistani city of Lahore will leave the Indian capital late Sunday for the border town of Attari from where it would cross the border. The government was also likely to resume the second train, the Thar Express, named after India's western desert, to leave the city of Jodhpur for Khokrapar next.
