Eleven people were killed at at least 58 injured after the Akbar Express hit a parked cargo train at the Walhar Railway Station in Rahim Yar Khan's Sadiqabad early Thursday morning.
The train was travelling from Rawalpindi to Quetta. Its engine and six bogies were completely destroyed in the accident that officials say was because the train was switched onto the wrong track.
There are fears that the death toll will rise. Forty-six injured passengers were taken to the Tehsil Headquarters Hospital Sadiqabad while 12 whose conditions were more serious were taken to the Sheikh Zayed Hospital in Rahim Yar Khan. An emergency has been declared at the Sheikh Zayed Hospital.
Rescue 1122 used 12 ambulances to transport people to the hospitals.

Since the man who wasn't good enough to be Imran's chaprasi - as stated by Imran on live tv himself - was appointed as Railway Minister, such accidents have been taking place frequently.
It is increasingly obvious that this incompetent lota is out of his depth and does not know what he is doing. His appointment is yet another example of Imran Khan botching his team selection.
Nevertheless, mistakes do happen but it is important to rectify them. Previously, when such accidents took place, Imran Khan would waste no time in demanding resignation of the concerned ministers and giving examples of what happens in states like Iceland etc.
Will Imran Khan follow his own advice and put Sheikh Rasheed out of his misery, the man who wasn't good enough to be his chaprasi as he stated on Capital Talk in 2005?
Here is Imran Khan demanding Khawaja Saad Rafique to resign after the Lodhran accident in 2017:

His exact words for those who do not understand Urdu (1:26 onwards):
"I think the Railway Minister should resign. Anywhere in the world, whenever there is a railway accident, the minister resigns because unless he does so, there cannot be any proper inquiry", and this isn't the first time it has happened".

When can we expect the news of Sheikh Rasheed getting fired/resigning as Railway Minister? I hope it should not take more than a couple of days.
