  "textContent": "BAHAWALPUR/MULTAN: A Tezgam passenger train traveling from Peshawar to Karachi derailed near Adam Wahan in Bahawalpur district on Tuesday, leaving at least 15 passengers trapped and injured, railway officials said.\n\nThe accident involved seven carriages, of which four overturned and two were partially derailed, according to Deputy Superintendent of Railways Hanif Gul.\n\nThe derailment reportedly began with the fourth carriage behind the engine.\n\nRescue teams, ambulances, and heavy machinery were dispatched to the site immediately. Injured passengers received first aid on-site before being transferred to nearby hospitals.\n\nSome sustained minor injuries while others were in serious condition, railway officials said.\n\nRailway authorities temporarily suspended train traffic on both up and down tracks to allow rescue operations and removal of derailed coaches.\n\nLocal administration and law enforcement personnel cordoned off the area to ensure the safety of rescue workers.\n\nSenior railway officials have been dispatched to the site, and a three-member inquiry committee has been formed to investigate the cause.\n\nPreliminary reports suggest track defects or technical failure may have contributed to the accident.\n\nRailway officials said services will be restored gradually after completion of rescue and repair operations. They emphasized that all responsible parties would face strict legal action after the investigation.\n\nThe incident highlights ongoing concerns over railway safety and infrastructure maintenance in Pakistan.\n\nThe post Tezgam train derails near Bahawalpur, 15 injured appeared first on HUM News.",
