GUWAHATI: Bomb blasts, derailment and rail roko in quick succession has affected functioning of the North-East Frontier Railway during the first fortnight of December.
On December 4, suspected Adivasi National Liberation Army militants exploded an Improvised Explosive Device on a railway track and damaged the Kamrup Express at Gharialdubi about four kilometres from Bokajan in Assam's Karbi Anglong.
The next day on December 5, ANLA activists struck again the railway tracks between Diphu and Nailalong in Karbi Anglong districts damaging the Tinsukia-Lumding Express and injuring the driver.
The train services were partially affected due to a 48-hour rail roko agitation called by the Rabha Autonomous Council of Assam from December 5. The council is demanding inclusion of the Rabha community in the Sixth Schedule.
On December 7, about 19 wagons of a goods train, laden with coal goods and going to Uttar Pradesh, derailed in lower Assam's Goalpara district disrupting train services between Krishnai and Goalpara town railway stations.
One person was killed and 55 passengers were injured when 14 bogies of Brahmaputra Mail derailed about 15 km from New Jalpaiguri junction under Northeast Frontier Railway (NFR) on the night of December nine.
Early this morning, five persons were killed and four others seriously injured when suspected militants exploded a bomb inside a compartment of the Rajdhani Express.
