According to sources, three bogies of the train derailed from the track, while one went off the bridge, leading to the closure of both up and down tracks. The incident disrupted the schedule of Faisalabad-bound trains from Lahore.
Railway authorities confirmed that a relief crane was dispatched to the site, and fortunately, no casualties were reported.
