Bolan Mail collided with a goods train in Balochistan’s Kachhi district on Monday, injuring at least four passengers.
Bolan Mail, on its way from Karachi to Quetta, collided with a goods train in Kachhi’s Peeru Kunri Post region, according to Levies sources.
Three of the train’s boogies, according to them, derailed from the track. The injured passengers were airlifted to a local hospital for treatment.
According to a doctor at Sibi Hospital, all four injured people are in stable condition and have received first assistance.
Train service between Balochistan and other parts of the country was halted as a result of the incident. Pakistan Railways dispatched a technical crew to the scene, which withdrew both trains from the track. Later, train service was restored.
As a result of the crash, passengers experienced difficulty due to the extreme heat. They waited for hours for the train service to be restored. The Bolan Mail was overrun with people on their way from Karachi to Quetta.
Accidents are fairly common on Pakistan’s deteriorating rail system.
When a Karachi-bound train collided with the derailed bogies of a Sargodha-bound express at the Sindh-Punjab border in June of last year, 65 people were killed and over 100 were injured.
When the Millat Express derailed on its way from Karachi to Sargodha, carriages spilled onto the track carrying the Sir Syed Express from Rawalpindi in the opposite direction.
At roughly 3.30 a.m., the twin disaster occurred near Daharki in Sindh’s rural Ghotki region, while the majority of the 1,200 people on board the two trains were dozing.
About 130 people were killed in the same neighbourhood in 2005 when a crowded passenger train collided with another at a station, then a third train collided with the wreckage.
For years, successive governments have struggled to raise cash to improve the system, which includes a planned new train route known as ML-1 as part of China’s Belt and Road Initiative of energy and infrastructure projects.
