Another possible train sabotage by Maoists foiled
June 10th, 2010 - 12:19 am ICT by IANSKolkata, June 9 (IANS) Train movement was late Wednesday suspended over a part of the South Eastern Railway in West Bengal following intelligence inputs that Maoists had assembled near the tracks in West Midnapore district for another sabotage attempt, officials said.
Two express trains, including the Mumbai-Howrah Duranta Express, were brought back to Tatanagar station, Divisional Railway Manager (Kharagpur) Anil Handa told IANS.
