Chandigarh, December 18

This Pakistani train driver was up for some adventure. The driver made an unscheduled stop en route to his usual journey. The reason, you won’t believe—he wanted to buy Dahi!

The driver’s assistant could be seen with a packet of the yogurt. After buying it, he headed back to the train’s engine and that was when the train again resumed its journey. Below is a video:

The video was widely circulated on multiple social media platforms, including Twitter where it was shared by user @nailatanveer. Several users reacted to the funny video.

The incident took place in Pakistan, where the passenger train originated from Lahore and headed towards Karachi. Reports suggest that such incidents are not uncommon in Pakistan’s railways.

The Tribune, now published from Chandigarh, started publication on February 2, 1881, in Lahore (now in Pakistan). It was started by Sardar Dyal Singh Majithia, a public-spirited philanthropist, and is run by a trust comprising five eminent persons as trustees.

The Tribune, the largest selling English daily in North India, publishes news and views without any bias or prejudice of any kind. Restraint and moderation, rather than agitational language and partisanship, are the hallmarks of the newspaper. It is an independent newspaper in the real sense of the term.

The Tribune has two sister publications, Punjabi Tribune (in Punjabi) and Dainik Tribune (in Hindi).
