Stone-pelting at trains a growing concern on Kozhikode-Kannur stretch

The pelting of stones at trains is turning into a huge concern for passengers passing through Kannur and Kasaragod. In the latest such incident, miscreants pelted stones at three trains between Kannur and Kasaragod stations on Sunday night. 

In Kannur, stones were pelted at the Netravati Express going to Mumbai, and the Chennai Superfast Express going to Chennai. The stone pelting took place at Thazhe Chovva and Valapattanam. The glass pane of a coach was broken in the incident. No passengers were injured. 

The Railway police investigating the case have taken three people into custody. They were reportedly in an inebriated condition. However, the police are yet to confirm if they were behind the stone pelting.
