Ranchi : Maoist rebels have torched four trucks and have blown up a bridge in Jharkhand, police said Monday.
According to police, one truck was torched late Sunday night on Grant Trunk (GT) road in Dhanbad district and three in neighbouring Giridih district. Maoist rebels also fired indiscriminately at buses passing through GT road in Dhanbad. Three people were injured in the firing.
Maoist guerrillas burnt three trucks in Isari block of Giridih district, which is around 210 km from here and blew up a bridge in the same block. In Dhanbad, the rebels torched a truck near Topchachi, around 270 km from here.
The outlawed CPI-Maoist has called for a two-day strike in five states including Jharkhand to protest the central government’s move to crush the Maoist movement by using the air force and the army. The strike has also been called to protest alleged police repression in the name of anti-Maoist operations.
