Reds torch mobile towers at Sorada



--It was the reflection of Maoists anger after Mao commander Kishenji’s death

BRAHMAPUR: After Maoists hooliganism in Rayagada, Malkangiri and Koraput, it was the turn of Maoist infested Sorada block as the Red forces torched five mobile towers including two at Gajalbadi and three at Asurbandha of Sorada block in Ganjam district on Friday night.

“Maoists have exploded two mobile towers of Reliance and Vodafone Company at Gajalbadi and three of BSNL, Vodafone and Airtel Company at Asurbandha on Friday midnight. No one is arrested in connection with the incident,” said Ganjam SP Rajesh Pandit to The Pioneer.

A Tiffin bomb was recovered from the spot. Maoists claimed in their posters that it was the reflection of Mao commander Kishenji’s death. These incidents have created terror among the locals. On the other hand, police have started combing operation in the area.

It was suspected that Maoists of Ghumusar division were the mastermind of the torching of mobile towers at Sorada. CPI (Maoists) of the division have wide network from Ganjam to Jharkhand border, sources said.  

It may be noted that Red forces were the mastermind of a powerful landmine explosion which left eight cows dead at Sorada on October 23 this year. They had also planted land mines and pressure bombs in between the jungle roads of Ramnabadi and Jirkua village.
