A Lahore-bound train from Mianwali narrowly avoided a major accident late Friday night when a coach buffer broke during travel, forcing railway officials to detach the affected coach to prevent further risk.
According to sources, the incident occurred near Kundian station, where the economy-class coach (number 12353) suffered a buffer failure, a critical component that connects train coaches.
Railway staff quickly intervened, disconnecting the damaged coach before the train continued its journey, Express News reported.
The latest malfunction comes amid growing scrutiny of the railway system, which has faced repeated technical failures and safety lapses in recent years.
Earlier this month, the Jaffar Express, en route from Quetta to Peshawar with approximately 450 passengers, was hijacked by terrorists of the Balochistan Liberation Army (BLA) in the Bolan Pass region of Balochistan.
The assailants detonated explosives on the tracks, causing the train to halt, and then opened fire, leading to a tense standoff.
The terrorists boarded the train, segregated passengers by ethnicity, and executed several individuals, including security personnel.
Over the course of two days, Pakistani security forces launched Operation Green Bolan, culminating in the rescue of 354 hostages and the deaths of all 33 terrorists. The incident resulted in at least 64 fatalities, encompassing soldiers, railway staff, and civilians.
