Government Condemns Violence during CPI(Maoist) Bandh

(PIB NEWS) The CPI (Maoist) has called a 48 hour ‘bandh’ since yesterday in the States of Jharkhand, Orissa, Chhattisgarh, West Bengal, Andhra Pradesh, Bihar, Maharashtra ( three districts) and Madhya Pradesh ( one district). They have indulged in violent incidents targeting public property and innocent people. In West Bengal, Maoists blasted a railway track near Godapiashal railway station in West Midnapore district. In Orissa, CPI (Maoist) cadres caused two blasts along the Howrah-Mumbai trunk route in Bisra PS area, causing derailment of a goods train and exploded a bomb near a railway level crossing in K. Balang PS area, both in Sundergarh district. In Bihar, Maoists exploded can bombs between Kastha and Paraiya railway stations, district Gaya, causing damage to 2-3 feet of railway track leading to derailment of nine bogies of the Bhubaneswar Rajdhani Express in which seven passengers sustained minor injuries in the intervening night of March 22-23. In West Bengal, suspected CPI (Maoist) cadres cut off the overhead electrical wire between Sordiha and Khatkura railway stations in district West Midnapore, causing disruption in railway traffic. It is clear that the CPI( Maoist) are not serious about their pronouncement of stopping violence and having a meaningful dialogue with the Government of India on various issues. Such acts of violence which target innocent people, disturb normal life and damage public property expose true character of CPI (Maoist). Government of India strongly condemns such mindless acts of violence and terrorism and hope that all right thinking people will condemn such violence.
