Ranchi: Communist terrorists blew up a portion of railway tracks in Jharkhand’s West Singhbhum district, causing a temporary halt to train services on the Howrah-Mumbai route.
At least 13 trains have been cancelled, and one has been diverted in response to the incident, according to a railway official. The explosion occurred late Thursday night in the Chakradharpur division of the South Eastern Railway, between Mahadevsal and Posoita stations, about 150 km from the state capital Ranchi, said West Singhbhum Superintendent of Police Ashutosh Sekhar.
He also stated that the security situation in the area has intensified, with repair work on the damaged tracks initiated early in the morning. Communist terrorists, responsible for the attack, also displayed banners and posters in the region.
The trains that were cancelled include Tata-Itwari Express and nine MEMU (mainline electric multiple unit) passengers. Notably, the banned communist terrorist group has been observing ‘protest week’ from December 16 and had called for a Bharat bandh on Friday.
