New Delhi: After passenger trains in the country, now army's special trains are also being targeted. The latest incident came to light on 18 September from Nepanagar area of Burhanpur district in Madhya Pradesh. Where 10 detonators making loud noise like firecrackers were placed on the railway track at a distance of 10 meters. The army's special train passed over them. Shocked by the loud noise made by the detonators, the loco pilot stopped the train by applying emergency brakes.
At present there is no news of loss of life or property.
Attempt to damage army train
Initial investigation has revealed that these detonators were not planted by the railways but by unknown people. Their aim was to cause some kind of damage to the army train. The detonators are said to be expired. Given the sensitivity of the incident, the Madhya Pradesh Police as well as the NIA are investigating it. Since the matter is related to the army, a lot of secrecy is being maintained in it. Central Railway CPRO Dr Swapnil Neela was spoken to in this matter. He confirmed the incident, but also said that since the matter is related to the army, more information cannot be shared in this regard. The investigation is ongoing.

Conspiracy hatched using railway detonator
Railway sources said that usually the railway uses loud detonators in fog and in such situations where the train has to be stopped in an emergency before the scheduled time. In such a situation, three detonators are placed on three stages about 1200 meters before the place where the train has to be stopped. But in this incident, 10 detonators were placed at a distance of just 10 meters. Initial investigation has revealed that these detonators belonged to the railways, which were stolen. It is possible that more detonators have been stolen.
The accused are not getting caught by the railway
For some time now, there have been continuous attempts to derail trains. But in not a single major incident has the railway been able to reach the real culprit. It is being claimed that the patrolling of gangmen and linemen including RPF and GRP has been increased. But sources say that in not a single incident has any accused been caught red-handed while placing such an object on the railway line. Why is the intelligence of RPF and GRP failing again and again? If the people hatching such conspiracies are not caught soon, then there is a possibility of a major accident somewhere in the country.
