New Delhi Naxals attacked a railway station in Bihar on Sunday. They damaged a railway track at Jamalpur Railway station in Bihar's Munger district on Sunday morning.


Jamalpur is a big junction, and is best known as a workshop for the railways. The attack is likely to affect train schedules as the junction is a stop for several trains.


The attack comes in the wake of a bandh called by the Naxals in Bihar, Jharkhand and Orissa after a Naxal leader was arrested five days ago.


Apart from Jamalpur junction, the Naxals had blown up a railway track in Lakhi Saria. There were no casualties in the attacks.


"We were hiding in a house and we informed our higher authorities. They reverted and told us that police have come for our rescue. We then came out," said an eyewitness.


Meanwhile, in another incident, a group of 25 to 30 Naxalites exchanged fire with police in Gadchiroli district of Nagpur on Saturday. Police recovered five single barrel rifles, two kilograms explosives, two detonators and other material from the place.
