Green Line Express derails near Wazirabad
In a worrying rise in train accidents, the Karachi-to-Islamabad Green Line Express derailed near Wazirabad on Friday while exiting the station.
Initial findings suggest the derailment was caused by broken coach buffers.
This was the third train accident within a week—a progress some representatives attribute to negligence by Pakistan Railways representatives.
A day earlier, the Karachi-to-Lahore 41-Up Karakoram Express met with an accident near Khanewal Junction when the train split into two sections.
As the train entered the loop line at Khanewal Junction, the coupling connecting its coaches suddenly broke, separating the moving train into two sections.
The unexpected malfunction led to scenes of fear and confusion among passengers on board. Despite the alarming condition, no loss of life or injuries were documented.
