The accident follows a devastating derailment incident on August 6, where a shocking 25 lives were lost, and over 100 individuals suffered injuries. The Hazara Express, journeying from Karachi to Rawalpindi, derailed near Nawab Shah.
Sources from the railway department recounted that the calamity unfolded near Saharai Railway Station, between Shahzadpur and Nawabshah. The severe derailment led 10 of the Hazara Express’s bogies to veer from their tracks, resulting in chaos and trauma for the passengers onboard.
