A series of train derailments has raised serious concerns about safety in Pakistan Railways despite a recent rise in revenue during Eid. Just a day after the festival, the Karachi-bound Tezgam Express derailed in Punjab, injuring several passengers. Commuters expressed frustration over repeated accidents and lack of lasting solutions. Another incident involving the Shalimar Express added to worries. Experts point to outdated tracks and signalling systems as key issues. With fares also rising, passengers are demanding urgent safety improvements.
