Suspected Blast Damages Railway Track Near Rajasthan-Pakistan Border, Probe Underway
A suspected explosion damaged two concrete pillars and railway sleepers on the Anupgarh-Suratgarh track near Rajasthan's Sri Ganganagar district, close to the India-Pakistan border. The blast occurred around 9:45 pm, about 45 minutes after a passenger train passed safely. It left a crater nearly two feet deep, prompting suspension of train services and a multi-agency investigation involving ATS, NIA, CID, and forensic teams. Authorities have ruled out links to recently seized RDX, and are examining possible terror or sleeper cell involvement without confirming any direct connections.
