Blood of the Innocent
Jhargram: A gruesome sabotage that bore the hallmark of a Maoist attack, killed more than hundred passengers, most of whom were asleep, huddled in their berths with their children on a Mumbai bound train.
More than 200 persons were seriously injured as the Howrah – Mumbai Ganeshwari Express derailed at about 1:15 a.m. between Khemasuri and Serdeha stations near the Maoist strong-hold of Jhargram about 150 km from Kolkata. Several coaches landed on a parallel track and were rammed by a goods train that rode in barely five minutes later.
Officials said that the suspected Maoists removed pendrol clips over around a fifty foot stretch from both the tracks besides cutting one and a half feet of the up line track.
Railway Minister Mamata Banerjee reached the spot soon after to supervise the rescue operation. Top railway officials and the police including special security forces are working at the accident sight round the clock.
