He said that critically injured people will be transported to the southern port city of Karachi for better treatment. Minister for Railway Khawaja Saad Rafique told the media that authorities are investigating the incident and the possibility of “sabotage” can be ruled out. Affaq Rao, an eyewitness, told Xinhua he was working in the fields when he heard a strange loud bang. After the train derailment, train operations were suspended, affecting the routine of many trains, with railway authorities saying that it may take up to 18 hours to restore operations.
