The intelligence advisory was issued by railways to the concerned authorities on June 20 to take adequate preventive measures in the wake of a Maoist bandh call to check possible attack on railway properties in the region.There were two incidents involving Dibrugrah-New Delhi Rajdhani Express and a goods train in the region on Wednesday and railways suspect it to be sabotage by Maoists.
"Prima facie, it appears to be a case of sabotage. There was a blast on the track, which could have caused the derailment," railway board chairman Arunendra Kumar told PTI.
"Another goods train, 60km away from the station, also got derailed due to a blast. 18 wagons got derailed in the accident," Kumar said.
However, home minister Rajnath Singh said it was too early to blame the Maoists for the derailment.
