Naxalites plant landmine in Koraput

Correspondent

KORAPUT: Naxalites planted a landmine between Narayanpatna and Bandhugaon in Koraput district while blocking the road by felling roadside trees at many places from Friday night as a part of their observation of protest week. While the movement by people on the road between the two villages was stalled due to the landmine, a bomb disposal squad was sent to the place, Deepak Kumar, SP, Koraput said.
Looking at the sensitivity of the region, security has been tightened at many places of the district apart from deploying an additional troupe of policemen in the district jail at Koraput, he added.
According to sources, large number of hardcore naxalites from the neighbouring State of Chattisgarh had already entered into the district allegedly to accomplish the decision of the Central committee to release the five naxalites who were kept in the district jail for more than a year’s time.
Responding to the queries from The Hindu, SP said that the district police was investigating into the possible presence of naxalites from the neighbouring states.
