SANGHAR, Jan 27: Three bogies of a Karachi-bound goods train coming from Lahore derailed between Oderolal and Palijani stations on early Friday morning. Due to the derailment, Bahauddin Zakaria Express, Tezgam, Night Coach and other passenger trains were not allowed to leave their stations.

Relief engines were called from Kotri, Rohri, Mirpurkhas and Karachi to restore railway traffic.

After almost nine hours, the traffic was restored around 4pm on the up-track and trains from both sides started moving on the same track.

A divisional engineer of railways said that traffic on both tracks would be restored in six to eight hours.

He said an inquiry would reveal the cause of the incident.
