derailed train has collapsed on its side.
All the train windows have been broken, and the passengers lying here and there are only waiting for help.
Early on the morning of the 7th, an express train derailed near the city of Darki in the Gotki district of Sindh Province, southern Pakistan, and fell on the rail next to it.
In this situation, another express train running from the opposite side collided with the overturned train, leading to a major accident.
The cause of the derailment of the first train is still unknown.
At least 35 passengers have been killed and more than 120 injured in the accident.
It is known that the two trains were carrying more than 1,000 passengers, including wedding guests.
At the scene of the accident, rescue teams, police, and local residents took the casualties to the hospital.
Local media reported that about 20 passengers were still trapped in the train, and that heavy equipment would be used to rescue them.
[Rescue operation manager: I believe that additional rescue operations will proceed quickly when heavy equipment arrives.] In
Pakistan, train accidents often occur due to poor signal systems.
In October 2019, a fire on a train from Karachi to Rawalpindi killed more than 75 people, and in 2016, a train crash in Karachi killed 21 people.
