Guwahati: Security concerns following insurgents’ sabotage of railway tracks at two places in western Assam ahead of Independence Day celebrations led the Northeast Frontier (NF) Railways to cancel or short terminate several trains on Tuesday.
”Due to security reasons over Assam areas and accident between Fakiragram and Kokrajhar, several trains will remain cancelled / partially cancelled / short terminated,” NF Railway sources said. Militants had damaged tracks at two spots near Kokrajhar yesterday, causing derailment of a goods train. A little known Bodo outfit had later claimed responsibility and warned of more such attacks in the run up to August 15 celebrations. (UNI)
