Armed Maoists detonated dynamites & blew up tracks in a 15 feet stretch near the station in the early hours, disrupting rail traffic on the section for several hours.
All police stations in the state have been put on alert & patrolling intensified while special attention was being paid to protect railway tracks - a soft target of the Maoists in the recent past. Important trains are running with pilot engines for the safety of passengers & East Central Railway announced cancellation or diversion of routes of several trains because of the bandh.
