LAHORE:
After an accident of two trains in Sukkur division, a large number of passengers travelling from Lahore to other cities were left stuck at the railway stations in the provincial capital.
A large number of passengers had their tickets refunded at the railway stations and reservation offices in the provincial capital. The railway administration faced difficulties in returning the money to the passengers on time due to the heavy workload.
The Jinnah and Karachi Express trains between Lahore and Karachi were cancelled.
Five bogies of Millat Express coming from Karachi via Faisalabad to Lala Musa derailed near Sukkur early in the morning reportedly due to dilapidated condition of the track near Rati railway station. The Sir Syed Express going from Rawalpindi Karachi collided with the bogies. Due to the accident, train operation on the main line across the country was suspended.
