Maoists torch guesthouse during two-day bandh in Orissa | In yet another act of violence, a group of Maoists set ablaze a private steel company guest house in Orissa's Malkangiri district, as they started their two-day
Bandh (closure) that hit normal life here on Wednesday. According to a senior
police official, around 50 armed Maoists attacked Essar Steel's guest house at
Gajiagoda in Chitrakonda area of the district at midnight and set it ablaze. The
extremists stormed into the building by assaulting the guard of the guesthouse.
They also beat up two company engineers and locked them up in a nearby house,
the police official said. Meanwhile, the normal life in Malkangiri, Koraput, Rayagada
and Gajapati districts of the State was affected on the first day of the two-day
Bandh called by Maoists. The call has been given by Maoists to protest the Centre's
decision to launch offensive against them and the alleged police excesses, police
sources said. |
