Separately, Friday, more than 150 passengers were injured when five trainers in the Islamabad Express passenger train overturned near Kala Shah Kaku station, just 15 kilometers from Lahore, in a terrifying derailment which narrowly avoided diving the train in a ravine.
The train, on the way from Lahore to Rawalpindi with hundreds of passengers on board, met the accident near the rugged field surrounding Kala Shah Kaku.
According to the injured passengers, sudden tremors started while the train crossed the section near the station, which means that five rear coaches turn from the east side of the track and overturn.
