The Karachi Express met an accident near Rohri, leaving a passenger dead and scores of others wounded in Sunday’s wee hours.
The train was on its way to Lahore from Karachi when it met an accident between Rohri and Panu Aqil.
When contacted, the IG Railways said the mishap will be investigated to ascertain the cause of the mishap.
