A Commando Battalion for Resolute Action (CoBRA) trooper - Ajai Kumar - died after being injured in a fierce encounter between Security Forces (SFs) personnel and the Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist) cadres under Baresan Police Station area of Latehar District along the Chhattisgarh-Jharkhand border on July 11, reports The Indian Express.

The incidents were the second and third ones in the last five days. Maoists blew up three points on the same railway track on Gomia-Barkakhana route under Dhanbad railway division of East Central Railway (ECR). Unlike the previous two blasts, on October 11, Maoists blew up the tracks at 1.30 pm near Dumri Vihar. Apart from goods trains, short distance passenger trains like Gomoh-Choupan passenger and Barkakhana-Asansol passenger were affected due to the incident. The traffic on the route was disrupted for nearly 10 hours till a railway team reached the site and reinstalled the broken railway lines. "Maoists are targeting the rail tracks as they are public property. Mostly passenger trains ply on this route. The incident caused inconvenience to local passengers who were traveling on this route during the festive season," said Manoj Krishna Akhouri, Divisional Railway Manager (DRM), Dhanbad railway division.The first incident occurred on October 6, when Maoists set a railway engine on fire and blew up a railway track near Dumri Vihar railway station. On October 7, Director General of Police (DGP), Railway Protection Force (RPF), S K Bhagat along with senior Police officers had visited the site to assess the situation and a search operation was launched by the State Police. Three days later, the Maoists blew up the railway tracks again. Sources said that the blast was triggered by a Maoist squad that came from outside the District. Local Maoist ‘commander’ Santosh Da was also with them. Deputy Inspector General (DIG), Koylanchal, Saket Singh said a massive anti-Maoist search operation is being conducted in the jungles near Dumri Vihar. Necessary directions have been given to Police officers to avoid repetition of such incidents. The restoration work was completed by the railways in the presence of Police.
