Indian Maoist Naxal terrorists killed a Railway Protection Force employee and derailed a goods train and blasted a small bridge disrupting traffic on a national highway near Ranchi, Jharkhand. They also burnt furniture in a Public Works Department office. Terrorists from the same movement burnt an iron-ore laden truck and blocked roads in Orissa. The terrorists were trying to enforce a national bundh (closeout strike) called on Republic Day. Almost no one responded to this call and the naxals were trying to enforce the bundh.
