Passenger train derailed near Kotri Junction Railway Station in Jamshoro, Sindh Province, Pakistan, March 26. Rail disruptions reported.
Two empty cars of a passenger train derailed near the Kotri Junction Railway Station in Jamshoro District, Sindh Province, the afternoon of March 26. The incident did not cause casualties but has resulted in track damage. Rail traffic between Kotri and Larkana is suspended; officials said repair works may take several hours.
Increased security presence and train disruptions will almost certainly continue in the coming hours. An increased demand for alternative forms of transport are likely until trains resume.
Avoid the affected area until authorities give the all-clear. Seek alternative routes to circumvent the incident site. Confirm transport reservations; allow for additional transport time if operating in area. Adhere to all instructions issued by local officials.
