On 31 October 2019, a Pakistan Railways passenger train caught fire while travelling from Karachi to Rawalpindi, and at least 75 people were killed. It may have been caused by the explosion of a portable stove being used illegally by some of the passengers to cook a meal on the train. The accident was the deadliest in Pakistan since 2005, when the Ghotki rail crash killed more than 100 people.[1]
