As a result of a train derailing in Pakistan, 30 people have died and more than a hundred have been injured.
According to media reports, on August 6, 2023, 10 cars of the passenger train Hazara Express derailed and overturned near the Sahar railway station in the city of Nawabshah.
Local authorities reported that emergency services are working at the scene, and injured passengers have been taken to a hospital in Nawabshah.
Preliminary data indicates that the train was traveling at a normal speed. The causes of the crash are still unclear, and an investigation is ongoing.
In widely circulated photographs, passengers and locals can be seen helping those trapped in the cars after the accident.
In one video, it is visible that wooden sleepers were used on this railway. The video’s author claims that the crash occurred specifically because of these sleepers.
The tragedy occurred in the province of Sindh, approximately 275 km from Karachi.
Social media users are accusing the Sindh provincial authorities of negligence, as the railways are deteriorating due to age.
