A massive explosion occurred late night on the dedicated freight corridor (DFCCI) railway line located between Rajpura and Shambhu railway stations in Patiala district of Punjab. After this there was a stir in that area. According to the information, the explosion was so powerful that its sound was heard far and wide. Due to this, panic spread in the surrounding areas.

The big thing is that at present there is no news of any kind of loss in this incident. However, this incident on the railway track is being linked to some major terrorist conspiracy or an attempt to damage the track. Intelligence agencies are investigating whether anyone is behind this incident. A few days ago, there was a blast in the parking lot outside the Punjab BJP office in Sector 37, Chandigarh.
On the other hand, there was a stir in Gurdaspur yesterday i.e. Monday evening when a suspicious object resembling an explosive was found in the market on Geeta Mandir Road. After this the police surrounded the area. According to a shopkeeper, some unknown people who came on a bike threw something outside the shop and ran away. As soon as the information was received, the police team reached the spot.
The entire area has been sealed so that no one can go there. SP DK Chaudhary said that they are still investigating whether the object is actually an explosive or something else. At present the police is investigating the matter and the people nearby are being interrogated.
Let us tell you that a few months ago this year, there was a massive explosion on a goods train line late at night in Fatehgarh Sahib district of Punjab. In the blast that took place at around 11 pm in the Sirhind area, about 15 feet of the railway track was completely blown away, while the engine of the goods train passing through it was also damaged. The loco pilot of the goods train was injured in this incident.
