Railway track and bridges is in bad shape now.... same incident happend in Sukkur the bridge collapsed near Rorhi Station

i live in sukkur, when did this happen?
I didn't knew about this such incident.

Inna lillahi wa inna ilaihi rajioon ;(

Btw could it be a terrorist attack? B/c in the past the Taliban/BLA used to destroy tracks with explosives. I hope its not true though.


RIP to the dead

Is this sabotag?

We need to see the results of the investigation into this terrible accident to know the cause(s).

Sad news to hear.

Train was going from Panu Aqil to Kharian reportedly.

 

[Shot-Caller]

Could be a planned thing since panu aqil and kharian are both cantonments so someone may have tried to hit army personnel and they succeeded.

 

[maxpayne]

Change that bloody track. It now 100+ years old

Yes!
before this incident, around 2.5 hours before, another train passed without harm. According to eye witness reports, a blast was heard just before the train derailed and fell into the stream.
