How early should you arrive at a train station in Pakistan?

How early should you arrive at a train station in Pakistan? In my opinion, you must arrive 30 minutes early at a station in Pakistan. If you come just 5 to 10 minutes before the train departure you will have to face different problems. Platform Allotment. In Pakistan allotment of a Platform to any train is not permanent. One day a train is placed at platform no 03 and on the other day, it will be placed at platform no 08 which is far away from the entrance. Therefore, you must come 30 minutes early otherwise you will pay money to the luggage porter for shifting your luggage to other platforms. Cancelation of Train? It is also observed that sometimes, the administration cancels the train due to any reason. So if you have an advance reservation on that train then you will be adjusted to another train or you will be returned the money. In such a situation, if you come late to the station then you will face different problems. So to avoid such problems you must come at least 30 min...
