Online Desk: At least 22 people were killed and another 50 injured in Pakistan after a total of ten train coaches of Rawalpindi-bound Hazara Express derailed near a station located 275 kilometres from Karachi, according to local news channel Geo News. More people are feared injured.

Injured passengers have been taken to nearby hospital. The reason of the derailment hasn’t been discovered yet, a news agency reports. The administration is carrying out rescue operation and an emergency has been declared in the neighbouring hospitals.

The local administrator said a relief train has left for the accident site and it will arrive shortly. “Due to the accident, the traffic on the up track is suspended,” railways divisional superintendent Sukkur Mahmoodur Rahman was quoted as saying by Geo News.

It is reported that the same train had escaped a possible grave accident earlier this year.
