In the wee hours of Friday, the
red rebels had torched five vehicles, tipper and few other excavating machines
at a contractor’s camp at Pendajam village under Semliguda police limits.
Communication from Laxmipur to
Narayanpatna and towards Bandhugaon completely blocked as the roads were
blocked by felled trees, while communication between Parvatipuram in Andhra
Pradesh and Narayanpatna could not be established as ultras have dug up the
roads in some places.

and blockade in the area.
