Ranchi:The Maoists on Friday called for a shutdown in Jharkhand to protest against the police operation against them.
A tight security arrangement was made through out the state. Security personnel
have been put on high alert and a massive combing operation is on in sensitive
areas of the state. Last night, two passengers were killed and over 47 others
injured when eight bogies of the Tata-Bilaspur passenger train derailed after
Maoists blew up railway tracks in Jharkhand's West Singhbhum district. According
to sources, the blast occurred between Manohar and Posoita railway stations just
in front of the engine of the train, some 20 minutes after a pilot engine had
passed.
