Bhubaneswar, Nov 10 (Inditop.com) Maoist guerrillas Tuesday attacked a contractor’s storehouse and looted construction material worth more than Rs.100,000 in Orissa’s Malkangiri district, police said.
More than 25 Maoists attacked the storehouse at MPV (Malkangiri Pottery Village) 77 village, about 670 km from state capital Bhubaneswar when nobody was present, district Superintendent of Police Satyabrata Bhoi told Inditop.
“They looted more than 30 bags of cement and a few tonnes of iron rods. The rebels set fire to the warehouse before leaving the area,” he said.
