7 policemen killed in Chhattisgarh blast

Special Correspondent

HYDERABAD: Seven policemen were killed on Tuesday when suspected Maoists guerrillas blasted a bridge near Mardapal, about a hundred kilometers from Jagdalpur district headquarters in southern Chhattisgarh.

A contingent of over 150 policemen carrying the electronic voting machines (EVMs) were trekking their way back to the district headquarters in Jagdalpur when the rebels blasted a 30 metre-long bridge. The policemen were walking in a single file maintaining safe distance from each other.

“That was the reason why there were fewer casualties,” Additional DGP Giridhari Nayak, coordinating the security arrangements, said over phone from Raipur.
