Malkangiri: Suspected Maoists reportedly set five vehicles on fire near a contractor’s camp in Balarampur along Malkangiri-Chhattisgarh border late on Saturday.
According to sources, a group of 20-30 Maoists barged into the camp, torched the vehicles and abducted three persons, including an engineer from the camp.
A poster was recovered from the spot in which the rebels have opposed the ongoing road construction work in the area. The poster stated that the proposed road would in no way help the villagers and only facilitate movement of the security forces.
