The most\u2063 seriously injured individuals were transported to distant hospitals via military helicopters for\u2064 better treatment.<\/p>\n<p>Unfortunately, train crashes are not uncommon in \u2063Pakistan, often occurring due to poorly maintained\u200b railway \u200dtracks and \u2062outdated communication and signal systems.
