Fortunately, no passengers were harmed during the derailment. However, the mainline for trains travelling inland was blocked, causing disruptions to rail services.

Railway authorities later confirmed that operations on the down track resumed after a two hour delay, with Pakistan Express departing as the first train.

Delays persisted on the up track, affecting several services, including Karakoram Express and Business Express.

Additionally, other trains such as Allama Iqbal Express and Millat Express faced delays ranging from one to three hours. Efforts are underway to clear the tracks and restore normal train operations.

A similar incident happened back in September 2024, when three coaches of the Sir Syed Express derailed near Rohri railway station.
