Death Count Rises To 62 In Pakistan's Deadly Train Accident: Reports

At least 62 people were killed and over 100 others injured in the twin accidents between Reti and Daharki railway stations.

The death count in Monday's train collision in Pakistan's Sindh province rose to 62 on Tuesday, according to media reports, even as the Opposition parties demanded an immediate probe into the reasons for one of the country's worst train accidents. At least 62 people were killed and over 100 others injured in the twin accidents between Reti and Daharki railway stations where eight carriages of Millat Express derailed just before Sir Syed Express rammed into them near Dharki, a city located in the Ghotki district of upper Sindh early Monday morning. The rescue operation was completed and the track has been cleared after retrieving 17 coaches that had been damaged by the crash and the engine of the train, Geo News quoted as saying Divisional Superintendent, Railway Sukkur Tariq Latif. "The up and down track has been restored. We have received orders to resume train service," he said.
