Maoists blow up railway track in Bihar | Fourteen oil tankers of a goods train derailed
and caught fire after Maoists blew up a railway line between Dighwara and Pipra stations in Bihar's West Champaran District, around 25 kilometers from Motihari
early on Thursday morning. It has been reported that the Maoists blasted dynamites
to blow up the railway line at Chintamani village at around 2: 30 a.m. The goods
train was on its way to Raxaul on the Indo-Nepal border from Muzaffarpur. It took
more than four-and-half-hours for the fire tenders that were rushed from Muzaffarpur
and Motihari to extinguish the flames. There are reports that the Maoists left
behind several posters and leaflets. Meanwhile, a combing operation has been launched
in the area to get hold of the ultras. |
