Maoists disrupt traffic along K-K line again

Our Bureau

Visakhapatnam, Feb. 10 A goods train derailed on the Kothavalasa-Kirandul line in the agency (tribal) tract of Visakhapatnam district on Sunday morning, due to damage to the track that was suspected to have been caused by the Maoists active in the area.

‘Regular feature’

No one was injured in the incident and attempts were being made to restore traffic on the track, according to railway sources.

Traffic disruption on the track, allegedly by Maoists, has become a regular feature. The track is important, as it is used to bring iron ore from the Bailadilla mines to the Visakhapatnam steel plant as well as the port for export purposes.

The South East Railway also runs a passenger train to the picturesque Araku valley in the Visakhapatnam district for tourism.
