Jaffar Express Services Suspended Till Nov 12 Amid Security Concerns In Balochistan

Karachi, Nov 9 (PTI) The Pakistan Railways has suspended services of the Jaffar Express between Quetta and Peshawar for four days beginning Sunday, citing heightened security concerns in Balochistan, months after the train came under a deadly insurgent attack that left 26 people dead. Railway officials said the temporary four-day suspension from November 9 to 12 was a precautionary measure based on advice from security and intelligence agencies to ensure the safety of passengers, railway staff, civilians and critical rail assets. Locals say the move would affect thousands of passengers who rely on the Jaffar Express as the most affordable mode of transportation between the two cities. The Jaffar Express has been repeatedly targeted by insurgents and militants in recent months, with the attack in March being the worst. In March, the banned Balochistan Liberation Army (BLA) hijacked the Jaffar Express with 380 passengers on board, triggering a two-day standoff in a mountainous area and claiming 26 lives. Security forces later rescued around 354 passengers, while 33 insurgents were killed. In October, several people were injured in a blast that occurred on a railway track, which derailed five bogies of the train in Sindh province. In September, a blast on the track in Balochistan's Mastung area damaged one coach and derailed six others, injuring 12 passengers. On August 10, four people were wounded after an improvised explosive device caused six coaches of the same train to derail in Mastung. On August 4, the pilot engine sent for clearance came under gunfire near Kolpur, an attack later claimed by BLA. In July, three coaches of the Jaffar Express train derailed due to an explosion in Sindh. In a similar attack in June, a bomb explosion in Sindh's Jacobabad district derailed four coaches of the Jaffar Express, though no casualties were reported. In November last year, a suicide bomber blew himself up at the Quetta railway station, killing at least 26 people and injuring dozens. Insurgent groups have increasingly used Balochistan’s remote and rugged terrain to target convoys, railway tracks and trains in recent months.  (This report has been published as part of the auto-generated syndicate wire feed.

IPL 2026: Three Batters RCB Must Retain Ahead Of Mega Auction

Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) enjoyed a dream run in IPL 2025, finally ending their 18-year wait to claim their maiden IPL title. With the deadline for teams to confirm their retained players set for November 15 ahead of the IPL 2026 mini-auction, RCB are unlikely to make major alterations to their batting unit. This year, the franchise will look to maintain the same core heading into the next edition. Three players RCB should retain for IPL 2026  1. Virat Kohli Topping the list is none other than RCB’s heartbeat and former skipper, Virat Kohli. The modern-day legend continues to reign supreme as the highest run-scorer in IPL history, with a staggering 8,661 runs, far ahead of Rohit Sharma in second place. Kohli’s IPL 2025 campaign was another reminder of his class - he piled up 657 runs in 15 matches at a superb average of 54.75. After a relatively quiet phase between 2019 and 2022, the star batter has crossed the 600-run mark in three consecutive seasons, proving that age hasn’t slowed him down one bit. 2. Rajat Patidar Rajat Patidar, who led RCB to their maiden IPL title, has also become one of the most dependable middle-order batters for the franchise. Known for his composure and timing under pressure, the Madhya Pradesh cricketer scored 312 runs in 15 matches during IPL 2025, including two crucial fifties. Although currently sidelined due to injury, Patidar is expected to regain full fitness ahead of IPL 2026 - and his recent form makes him a key player RCB should not let go. 3. Phil Salt RCB’s decision to bring in Phil Salt turned out to be a masterstroke. The English wicketkeeper-batter quickly established himself as one of the team’s top performers in IPL 2025, scoring 403 runs in 13 games at an average of 33.58, including four half-centuries. His explosive partnership with Virat Kohli at the top was one of the most feared combinations of the season. Given Salt’s blazing form - which carried over from his title-winning run with KKR in 2024 - RCB would be wise to retain him for the 2026 season.
