Maoists destroy trucks carrying bauxite in Jharkhand | Maoists burnt three trucks carrying bauxite mineral on Wednesday in Jharkhand's Lohardaga District during the ongoing five-state-shutdown. "The supporters of the MCC (Maoist Communist Centre of India) burnt the trucks
carrying bauxite mineral, which were plying on roads on the day when shutdown
is called. They said, 'Why do you drive on the day of shutdown?' and burnt the
trucks. There was dense forest, but they saw the trucks and burnt them. The investigations
and search is on," said D. K. Verma, the Station House Officer of Jobang police
station. Maoists called for the shutdown on Tuesday in five eastern and central
provinces - Jharkhand, Bihar, West Bengal , Orissa and Chhattisgarh - to protest
the killing of their leader, Sidhu Soren, by the security forces. "They said,
'Why are you driving vehicles when there is a shutdown since yesterday?' They
said that and slapped me two-three times, and told me to run off. I don't know
who they were. They wore black dresses and were about 25 to 30," said Surendra
Singh, a truck driver. |
