Dantewada, June 10 (ANI): A massive manhunt was launched in Chhattisgarh to nab the Maoists responsible for killing ten policemen by a landmine blast in Dantewada district.
Joint search operation is continuing in and around the site of the blast.
Ten security personnel were killed when Maoists blew up an anti-land mine vehicle in the Katikalyan area of Dantewada District.
The anti-landmine vehicle was blown up as it was approaching a bridge near Gatan village.
The bodies of the deceased jawans, which includes seven SPOs and three constables, are being kept at Dantewada for paying homage.
The injured have been admitted to a hospital in Bastar district.
The Naxals had on Thursday opened indiscriminate fire near the camp of Chhattisgarh Armed Force in Naraynpur district, killing four jawans and leaving another injured.
Both the attacks were carried out in forest areas of the region where the Maoists are mainly active.
Dantewada is a Naxal hotbed. In April 2010, Naxals had killed 76 CRPF jawans in an attack in the district. Naxals have killed 30 police personnel in the state this year. (ANI)
