The Islamabad Express derailed Friday evening near Kala Shah Kaku while traveling from Lahore to Rawalpindi, injuring more than 25 passengers. Multiple carriages overturned near the Dekh Nullah area, creating emergency conditions that were worsened by darkness. The Federal Railways Minister immediately dispatched the CEO of Railways and the Divisional Superintendent to the accident site. Medical teams and rescue personnel received orders to provide urgent assistance to victims, though District Officer Rana Ijaz Ahmad reported visibility problems hampering operations. The minister demanded a formal investigation to determine derailment causes and ensure proper accountability.
