Maoists blow up road bridge in Dhanbad

Ranchi: Maoists blew up a portion of a road bridge near Tundi in Dhanbad during their 24-hour North Chottanagpur bandh on Monday which affected life in Maoist pockets.

Dhanbad Superintendent of Police Sheetal Oraon said the Maoists used explosives to blow up the bridge between Dhanbad and Giridih around 1 a.m. to disrupt road traffic.

The bandh evoked hardly any response in Hazaribagh, Giridih and Koderma.

The Maoists are observing the bandh in protest against the killing of four of their activists in Hazaribagh last month. — PTI
