The Maoists attacked the Ismailpur railway station under Gaya-Mughalsarai rail section and abducted station manager and other railway staff on August 25, reports Times of India. According to Neelmani some 10-15 extremists attacked the station and indulged in vandalism by breaking the signal system. He said the report of arson was not confirmed but the movement of the train has been suspended on that section as a precautionary measure. Anupama Nilekar said station manager Mayur Kumar was overpowered and taken hostage by the extremists as they vandalised the station. Before leaving, they warned of train movement as a result train movement could not be resumed in that section. Reports said 3151 Sealdah-Jammu Tawi Express and 2308 Jodhpur Express were stopped at Manpur and Rafiganj stations. An eyewitness said they were heard shouting slogans and a couple of them were seen talking on mobile phone.

Cadres of the Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist) triggered about a dozen explosions blowing up railway tracks and at least four Government buildings in the Sundargarh District in the early morning of September 10 (today), reports Times of India. The Maoists have called for a 24-hour shut-down in the District to demand release of 30 people, who were arrested on August 29 on the suspicion that they were Maoists. The extremists blasted railway tracks at around seven places between Bimlagarh and Patangi, Police said. They also blew up an abandoned Police station building at Kalta, another building where a CRPF camp was functioning earlier, a community centre and office building of the CITU, Police said, adding they also set ablaze a truck. Train services between Rourkela and Barsuan have been completely disrupted due to the blasts. The route is used mainly for transportation of raw materials to Rourkela Steel Plant (RSP). Train services on the route had been disrupted for the last three days due to ongoing agitation by tribals demanding release of the 30 people branded as Maoists. So far there was no report about any casualty in the attacks carried out by the Maoists.

Times of India reports that armed cadres of the People’s Committee against Police Atrocities (PCPA) as well as that of Communist party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist) laid siege to the Bhubaneswar-New Delhi Rajdhani Express at Banstala Railway Station, eight kilometres from Jhargram town in West Midnapore District, on October 27. The Security Forces rushing to the site for rescue operation were ambushed by the Maoists, triggering an encounter in which two PCPA men were killed and a Policeman was injured. After the gunfight, the PCPA cadres and the Maoists managed to escape. The Security Forces later reached the spot at 7.30pm (IST) and the train left an hour later. The PCPA cadres were demanding the release of Chhatradhar Mahato, the PCPA leader, who was arrested on September 26. Earlier at around 2:30pm, the Maoists held the train driver hostage and encircled the train for about five hours at Banstala. Some passengers were also injured in brick-batting.

PTI reports that two passengers were killed and over 47 others injured when eight bogies of the Tata-Bilaspur passenger train derailed after the Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist) cadres blew up railway tracks in the night of November 19 in West Singhbhum District. Railway minister Mamata Banerjee said that the train comprised 10 coaches of which five derailed and three toppled over as also the engine. She said two bodies were found in a overturned bogie, while 47 passengers were injured. Six passengers were trapped in another capsized bogie. Three passengers have been rescued so far as rescuers were using gas cutters to gain entry to the coaches, three of which were badly damaged, Banerjee added. The blast occurred between Manohar and Posoita railway stations just in front of the engine of the train, some 20 minutes after a pilot engine had passed. Banerjee said, "Maoists blew up a portion of a railway track which caused the derailment. There were also three to four blasts nearby to deter rescuers." Superintendent of Police (rail) A. B. Homker said in Ranchi, "Railway staff and rescue teams have reached the spot, and are cutting open the bogies to rescue the injured passengers."
