Deadly Maoist Attack on Railway Station

ANCHOR:
Five police personnel and a railway porter were killed when about 200-armed Maoists in a surprise attack stormed a major rail junction Sunday. Here's more from the east Indian city of Bihar.

STORY:
The Maoists stormed Jhajha railway station on the New Delhi-Howrah line in the Jamui district at around 5 a.m. They blew up the railway police station with dynamite. They also looted a huge cache of arms and ammunition from the railway police station.

[Ashok Mandal, Government Railway Police]:
"There were around 150 to 200. They started firing indiscriminately. People were forced to leave the junction. Three policemen, one porter and two Special Auxiliary Police (SAP) officials were killed. They looted all things belonging to the Government Railway Police (GRP)."

The superintendent of police says that the investigations are on. He added that the officials at the railway junction were not ready for the attack of such magnitude.

The attack brought the rail traffic to a halt and several important trains including the Rajdhani Express were held up at different points as a security measure.

The Maoists operate out of jungle bases across 13 Indian states running up the eastern sections of the country.

It is a result of natural law. India continously try to destablize pakistan by supporting and funding terrorism in pakistan, specially in Balochistan and Swat. India is facing this because they deserve this from nature. It is a nature's reply to them. Soon the Maoist movement will engulf india

First of all, Bihar is a state and not a city.

Secondly, these people should be ashamed of calling themselves Bihari.

Chullu bhar paani mein doob maro kamino. Tumarhi wajah se Bihar mein itni pareshaniyan hai. Sach yeh hai ki tumari wajah se Bihar ka Vikas aajtak nahi hua hai.

Mao ke raste kadam par chaloge besharmo? Apne Deshwasiyon ke bare mein kabhi mat sochna, theek hai?
