IANS reported that Over 100 Maoist guerrillas stormed into a mining complex of the state-run NMDC in Chhattisgarh Dantewada district last week and set 19 trucks on fire.

The armed Maoists raided the mining complex of India’s largest iron ore miner at Kirandu.

Mr Lakhan Thakur, in charge of the Kirandul police station, told IANS over the phone that “The rebels sneaked into Kirandul’s 11-B deposit of the NMDC and burnt 19 trucks hired by NMDC for iron ore transportation. This resulted in panic amongst the hundreds of NMDC staff engaged in mining in the hilly area.”
