RAWALPINDI/LAHORE:
As the annual Eidul Azha migration kicked into high gear on the eve of the feast of sacrifice, desperate passengers across country found themselves caught in the jaws of skyrocketing fares and shrinking options.
Many passengers were seen caught between an overloaded train and an overpriced bus.
With the federal government having declared a four-day Eid holiday from June 6 to 9, droves of citizens have been pouring out of major cities in a bid to reunite with family in their hometowns.
Earlier this week, the railways minister announced a 20% discount on Pakistan Railways fares during the Eid.
