Maoists blow up railway track in West Bengal |
Maoists blew up a railway track on Saturday, causing suspension
of train services in West Bengal's Purulia district. The incident took place on
the day of their nationwide shutdown organized for the release of Chhatradhar
Mahato, the leader of People's Committee Against Police Atrocities (PCAPA). The
railway track near Urma station in Purulia district was blown up around midnight
Friday. "Around 11.45 we heard a loud noise and saw a blaze. The railway track
has got derailed to about one foot. Four-five track sleepers had broken and about
four feet deep ditch has been formed. The wires are also damaged," said Hari Padhyo
Roy, a resident. The Maoists are making desperate attempts to demonstrate their
writ by indulging in violence in remote areas. Meanwhile, massive hunt has been
launched to nab the Naxals responsible for the killing 16 people in Khagaria district
on Friday. At least ten persons have already been detained in this connection. |
