Maoists blow up railway track in Bihar's Begusarai district | Maoists blew up a railway track, disrupting rail traffic in Bihar's Begusarai District. The ultras blew up the track between the Tilrath and Begusarai stations.
The Saharsha-bound Kosi Express was about to leave Tilrath station, when they
got the information of the blast. One of the gatemen said Maoists had given him
a poster that mentioned two bombs placed on the tracks. Maoists also asked him
to inform the higher authorities about it. "Ten minutes later, I heard a very
loud noise. I ran towards the station and gave the poster to the station master,
which they (Maoists) gave it to me," said Ram Vilas Yadav, the gateman. The blast
created a large crater. "The incident happened around 11.30 p.m. (local time).
About one metre of the railway track has been destroyed and a crater of about
one-and-a-half metres was created. When we were informed, the police force was
there on the spot," said R. K. Mishra, Section Engineer of Badhra Zone. The workers
repaired the tracks and the railway services resumed on Saturday morning.
