Rourkela:
The Maoists blew up a railway track and at least four government buildings in
Orissa's Sundargarh district today. According to police sources, the rebels blasted railway
tracks at around seven places between Bimlagarh and Patangi. They also blew up
an abandoned police station building at Kalta, another building where a CRPF camp
was functioning earlier, a community centre and office building of CITU. Train
services between Rourkela and Barsuan have been completely disrupted due to the
blasts. There was no report about any casualty in the attacks. The Maoists have
called for a 24-hour shut-down in the district today to demand release of 30 people,
who were arrested on the suspicion that were naxalites.
