India has always supported terrorism and separatist activities in Pakistan, but everything is not good there as well.
Maoist rebels in India have blown up a railway track, leading to the derailment of a passenger train in the eastern state of Jharkhand, police say. At least two people were killed and 47 others injured in the incident, which happened near Ghaghra station. Rebels are fighting for communist rule in a number of Indian states. They have a presence in more than 223 of India's 600-odd districts across 20 states.
More than 6,000 people have died during the rebels' 20-year fight. Eight coaches of the passenger train plying between Tatanagar and Bilaspur derailed after the rebels blew up a portion of the railway track near Ghaghra halt station in Jharkhand's West Singhbhum district, police said. "Maoists blew up a portion of the track that caused the derailment. Three coaches have been badly damaged," federal railway minister Mamata Banerjee said. Ms Banerjee said two passengers travelling on the train had died after the coaches derailed. Six others were trapped in the coaches, she added. The rebels set off several explosions near the tracks after the incident to prevent rescue workers from reaching the site, the railway minister said. Rescue workers have reached the site and are trying to bring out the passengers who are trapped, a senior police official said.
