A bogie of the Allama Iqbal Express derailed near the Kotri train station on Saturday, temporarily interrupting the railway services between Hyderabad and Karachi, authorities said.
The incident occurred when the train, on Lahore route to Karachi, experienced a technical failure near Kotri, which caused his last car to separate and leave the track, said Express News.
No victims were reported.
The affected bogie also separated from the rest of the train.
The railway authorities launched immediate restoration efforts, beginning to work to replace the Bogie and repair the coupling mechanism.
“The low track has been affected by the incident,” said a railroad spokesman.
“The trains that travel from Hyderabad to Kotri have stopped in Hyderabad as a precautionary measure.”
Repair work is expected to take two to three hours. Train services on the route will resume once security inspections are completed.
