Soon after the incident, Pakistan Railways called as many as 100 workers from Dalbandin, Ahmed Wal, Nushki, Quetta and adjoining areas for repair work.
Due to the repair work the goods trains have been stopped in Taftan and Dalbandin. Railway sources believe that the repair work would be completed in a couple of days.
Last year, five bogies of the goods train travelling between the two countries derailed in Chot Koi area of Chagai district due to poor condition of the railway track.
The train loaded with rice was going to Zahidan from Quetta. The incident resulted in suspension of the train service.
