a group of 15 railway employees cleaning railway tracks found a can bomb weighing 20 kilogram on the line at Banaso between Jarangdih and Bokaro Thermal stations in Bokaro District. Bokaro SP Kuldeep Dwivedi said, "The bomb weighed 20 kilogram. We have launched a search in the area after the recovery of the bomb. No other bomb was found." The place where the bomb was found falls under the Coal India Cord section in Dhanbad division through which many passenger and goods trains pass everyday. Fortunately, the bomb was old and did not explode. "The bomb was possibly planted by the Naxalites [Left Wing Extremist (LWE)] in 2009 at the spot where a landmine blast was triggered by the Maoists during the Red bandh (shutdown strike). The wires attached to the bomb were damaged. However, we have defused the bomb," a Police officer said.
