BERHAMPUR: Ahead of their two-day Odisha bandh call from Wednesday, Maoists damaged at least three mobile towers in Ganjam district's Baragada police station area on Tuesday night.
Police sources said around 20 to 25 Red rebels set fire to the towers belong to BSNL and a private cellular operator at Goudagotha and Baroda villages along the Maoist-infested Ganjam-Kandhamal-Gajapati borders. They, however, could not confirm whether the same group carried out all the attacks.
This time, however, the Maoists did not blow up the towers by explosives. Instead, they brunt the cables by using the husk and kerosene, a senior police officer said.
