Maoists damage police outpost building


Staff Reporter
BERHAMPUR: Maoists damaged newly constructed building of a police outpost at Salimi under Mathili police station in Malkangiri district on Friday night.
According to Sub-Divisional Police Officer of Malkangiri, Anup Sahu a group of around 30 naxals and some of their supporters reached the under construction building of the police outpost. They broke down a wall of the building. There are reports that naxals used landmine to blast the wall. But police sources say they used traditional digging tools to break the wall.
No one was injured in this naxal attempt as no police man was present at the spot. Maoists had made a similar attack on the Mundiguda police outpost in the area before Lok Sabha polls.
They had damaged the newly constructed building of the outpost. Following that incident the small number of unarmed staff posted in remote outposts of the area were called back to operate from the Mathili police station.
So, there were no policemen present at the spot when the naxals attacked the newly constructed building of the Salimi outpost.
