A suspected explosive device detonated on a railway line close to the Pakistan border in Rajasthan, prompting cancellation of services and an ATS‑led investigation.
A blast was reported on a railway track in Rajasthan close to the international border with Pakistan. The explosion, believed to be caused by an improvised explosive device, damaged the line and led railway authorities to suspend train operations on the affected section as a safety precaution.
Passengers on scheduled services were instructed to alight and were provided alternate transport where possible. No casualties have been confirmed at the time of reporting, and officials are assessing the extent of infrastructural damage.
The Anti‑Terror Squad (ATS) of Rajasthan has taken charge of the probe, dispatching a team to the site to collect forensic evidence and interview witnesses. Security forces have also heightened patrols along the border area to prevent any further incidents.
Railway officials have urged the public to avoid the vicinity of the blast site and cooperate with investigators. The line is expected to remain closed until clearance is given by the investigation and repair work is completed.
