Suspected Maoists attack road construction site in Jamtara district


RANCHI: Suspected CPI (Maoist) cadre torched one earthmover, three tractors and blew up a vacant make-shift tent at Ghatiari, around 250 kilometres from here, in Jamtara district. The place is on the border of Jamtara and Dhanbad districts.

The rebels destroyed the make-shift tent, thrashed all the workers engaged in construction of a road and bridge by using explosives. The construction site was attacked sometime around midnight on the intervening night of Tuesday-Wednesday.

Police sources said that the rebels had demanded levy from the road construction company and were regularly threatening them for the last two months. "When the company finally declined to pay the levy the rebels attacked the construction site and destroyed the equipments," said police.

Inspector general of police (Dumka Zone) Arun Oraon confirmed the incident. He said that prima facie the attack was Maoists. "The rebels have damaged equipments and even thrashed the workers at the construction site," said Oraon who was on the way to inspect the site.
