Traffic was disrupted after Naxalites, who are observing two days
Bandh in region they call Dandakaranya, blocked the Sironcha-Gadchiroli
road for several hours on Thursday. The rebels also put up several
banners across the district appealing to make their ‘anti-displacement’
agitation stronger against the corporate giants who want to carry out
mining and other activities in the district.
The Naxals claimed in a statement that their attack on former MLA
Deepak Atram’s bodyguard was to loot his firearms and had nothing to do
with ideology of Dr Babasaheb Ambedkar as projected by police against
them. The Naxals had gunned down Atram’s police guard before fleeing
with his assault rifle on the day of Ambedkar jayanti.
