Naxalites set fire to an earth-moving machine & tanker in Gadchiroli, Maharashtra, calling for a nationwide bandh on Dec 22.
Naxalites set ablaze an earth-moving machine and a tanker engaged in road construction work in Maharashtra's Gadchiroli district in the wee hours of December 20, police said.
The incident took place in Hidur-Dodur village located on Maharashtra-Chhattisgarh border.
The construction work was underway on the village road, which connects further to Koyarkoti, where Naxalites torched the machine and the vehicle engaged in the work, a police official said.
Naxalites also put up a pamphlet in the area, calling for a nationwide bandh on December 22, the police said.

“Walk for Equality was aimed at creating a movement to crush the forces attempting to divide the people along religious line, said Marumalarchi Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (MDMK) leader Vaiko. Concluding his 140-kilometre ‘Samathuva nadai payanam’ from Tiruchi to Madurai on Monday, Mr. Vaiko said, “The Hindutva forces are actively attempting to drive a wedge between communities through various incidents, most notably the Thirupparankundram deepam controversy, using identity-based politics to achieve their divisive motives.”
