Maoists blew up a railway track near here late tonight, disrupting traffic on the Gaya-Mugalsari route of East Central Railway.
The explosion on the track between Taraiya and Guraru railway station occurred at around 11 PM, barely 20 minutes after the pilot engine of Howrah-Delhi Rajdhani train crossed the area, Gaya Railway DSP Sunil Kumar told PTI.
There were no casualties.
There is usually a gap of one hour between the pilot engine and the train which follows it. Following the blast, the Howrah-Delhi Rajdhani train was stopped at Taraiya station.
