There seems to be no stopping the Naxals as early this morning, 15 diesel coach rakes caught fire in Bihar's Motihari district after Naxals blew up a rail track between Popra and Godara railway stations causing a three-metre depression.

Three of the coach rakes were derailed and a fire broke out.

Three fire tenders are at the spot trying to douse the fire.

The Superintendent of Police of Motihari told NDTV that the Naxals have left behind a chit at the spot.

No loss of life has been reported, however, four Express trains cancelled and four others diverted.
