Bhakkar: At least four people were wounded as an engine and two bogies of a Multan-bound Mehr Express derailed near Shah Alam railway station on late Friday after hitting a Sugarcane trolley, which had been stuck on the tracks.

As per details, two bogies of Mehar Express which was going to Multan from Rawalpindi derailed after hitting a trolley, which had been stuck on the tracks, injuring four people including the driver.

The incident took place near Shah Alam Railway station due to which train traffic on ‘128 Down Track’ remains suspended.

Rescue teams rushed to the scene soon after the incident, shifting all the injured to nearby medical facilities for the treatment.

 Machinery has been called from Multan to restore the track and this may take hours.
