GHOTKI: Federal Railways Minister Azam Swati said on Monday that the railway track of Sukkur Division is extremely dangerous and the derailment was apparently caused by a mechanical fault. Azam Swati said that he has visited the accident’s site and inquired after the health of wounded persons in different hospitals who are being given better medical attention. He added that rescue activities and efforts to restore the railway track are underway. The railway minister said that the railway track of Sukkur Division is extremely dangerous and DS refused to allow the trains to pass through three days ago. The railway department has only done theft during the last 30 to 40 years, said Swati, adding that he will take strict action against the mafia in the railway department.
Azam Swati vowed that he will personally investigate the deadly railway accident after receiving the report. He added that derailment was apparently caused by a mechanical fault as no automatic signal system was installed alongside the railway track. He said that the automatic signal system should have to be installed in 2008 that is still due.
