This incident follows a similar tragic train mishap that occurred on August 6 when 10 bogies of the Hazara Express derailed near Nawab Shah, resulting in the loss of 25 lives and over 100 individuals sustaining injuries. The Hazara Express was en route from Karachi to Rawalpindi when the derailment took place near Saharai Railway Station, between Shahzadpur and Nawabshah.
