At least 30 people were killed and more than 50 injured after a train derailed in southern Pakistan’s Nawabshah city in Sindh province.
As per reports, over 1,000 passengers were aboard the Hazara Express when it derailed near Sahara railway station close to Nawabshah city in the southern Sindh province.
Local TV footage broadcast rescue teams working diligently to extract women, children, and elderly passengers from the damaged and overturned train cars. Among the injured, some were seen crying for assistance while receiving water and food from locals.
Train crashes often happen on poorly maintained railways tracks in Pakistan, where colonial-era communications and signal systems have not been modernised and safety standards are poor.
