Maoists blow up railway track in Orissa

Bhubaneswar, May 21 (ANI): Maoists on Saturday blew up a railway track in Orissa's Sundargarh District on the first day of a two-day shutdown called by the rebels against alleged security excesses.

According to sources, the rebels triggered a landmine blast damaging a stretch of railway track at a place between Renjeda and Roxy, about 90 km from Rourkela.

They also set afire at least twelve dumpers at Chunaghati on National Highway No. 215 under the Koida police station. (ANI)
