NAWABSHAH: A bogie of Bahauddin Zakaria Express derailed near Oderolal railway station early on Wednesday morning.

The train heading towards Multan met the accident a few kilometres from Tando Adam. Later, heavy machinery arrived from the railway station and the derailed bogie was put back on the track and the rail traffic, which had been halted at nearby stations for a few hours, was allowed to move.

Luckily, no one was hurt in the accident except that the passengers of Bahauddin Zakaria and other halted trains had to face intense cold.
