Sindh Chief Minister Syed Murad Ali Shah expressing his deep sorrow and profound grief on Tez Gam Express tragic incident directed divisional administrations, Hyderabad, Sukkur, Nawabshah, Mirpurkhas and Karachi to keep close contact with railway authorities and commissioner Bahawalpur to transport back the deceased or injured belonging to province of Sindh.

The chief minister told the commissioner of different divisions of the province that over 40 passengers of ill-fated Tez Gam Express hailed from Karachi, Hyderabad and Mirpurkhas. Their families were running from pillar to post to get firsthand information about their dear ones onboard the train.

He directed Commissioner Hyderabad Abbas Baloch to set up a special desk in DC office so that the aggrieved families could contact there for necessary information. He also directed him to make necessary arrangements for shifting of bodies and the injured people from Rahimyar Khan back to Sindh. The chief minister also issued a similar directive to the commissioners of Karachi, Hyderabad, Mirpurkhas and Sukkur.

The chief minister through his Principal secretary Sajid Jamal Abro offered every possible support and assistance to the railway authorities and the Punjab government for retrieval of the bodies from the train and treatment of the passengers who sustained burnt injuries.

The chief minister said that his government and people of Sindh were in great shock to see such a huge loss of lives in the train incident. "May Allah save our people and the country from such horrible incidents," said Sindh Chief Minister Syed Murad Ali Shah.
