ISLAMABAD, (UrduPoint / Pakistan Point News - 4th August, 2016) : Azadi Train, to run across the country as part of 70th Independence Day celebrations, would provide an opportunity to the artists community to showcase their talents and a good source of earning as well. Azadi Train, in its month-long journey to different cities of the country, would stop at big stations across the country to hold cultural shows, engaging the local artists. The train journey is being jointly organized by Ministry of Railways and Ministry of Information, Broadcasting and National Heritage to mark the Independence Day. Talking to APP, Renowned singers, Muhammad Ali and Anwar Khayal who will perform in the musical shows said, "the event would give a chance to the artists like us to earn a handsome amount."

Qadeer, a Dhol artist, said, "the event will give us a chance to interact with the local artists of different cities and enhance our working exposure.
