.SHO suspended in GT Road case, bandh near total in red zone
GAYA: Arjun Prasad, SHO of the Amas police station has been put under suspension on the charge of dereliction of duty during the naxal operation on the all important GT Road Sunday night. No less than 32 trucks were torched by the red rebels in one of its major operation on the always busy National Highway. The police came in for criticism for its allegedly lethargic and delayed response that virtually gave a free run to the Maoists who were in total command of a 2 km long stretch of the highway between Bishunpur and Taradih villages of the Amas police station area. Confirming the suspension of the SHO, Gaya SSP Manu Maharaj said that he would not tolerate any lapse on the part of the cops.
The SSP also said that raids were being conducted to nab the ultras involved in the incident that grabbed national headlines. No arrest has so far been made in this connection, said the SSP. Though less than normal, vehicular traffic went on smoothly on the GT Road, the economic back bone of road transport in the country. However, bandh was almost total in the naxal infested Dumaria, Imamganj, Banke Bazar and Raushanganj police station areas of the district. It was partial in the Barachatti, Dobhi, Amas and Gurua police station areas. Other parts of the district remained more or less unaffected by the bandh. However, no report of any untoward incident has been received from anywhere. The bandh period expires at zero hour on Wednesday.
The 48 hours long bandh call was given by the Maoists to register protest against the killing of Sarita Ganjhu, alleged to be a front ranking woman leader of the CPI (Maoists), the banned naxal outfit. Reports reaching from the naxal affected areas of the district say that shops and other business establishments, commercial banks and govt officers remained closed on the second day of the two day long bandh sponsored by the Maoists. But for a few bikes, vehicular traffic in these areas too remained paralysed as even three wheelers, the popular mode of transport in the rural areas remained off the roads as three wheeler operators feared naxal attack Panchayat in G.K. Veedhi mandal. The Maoists escaped into the forests without retaliating.
