Pension age limit for BPL lowered to 60
Five policemen were shot dead at close range, as a newly opened police camp came under Maoist attack in the early hours of Thursday morning, 25 kms from the district headquarters.
While Maoist attacks are frequent in Bastar region, Thursday's attack stood out for two reasons: the location and the use of two inch mortars by the Maoists. South from the district headquarters, between two CRPF camps, the Narayanpur-Orchha road twists through a desolate hill range overlooking a valley called Jhara Ghati. Two kilometres ahead, near Dhaudai, 27 CRPF jawans were ambushed and killed last June. But on Thursday, the Maoists showed they had the upper edge, as they surrounded the camp, and opened fire, close to 6 am. "The firing came from three directions," said Narayanpur SP Mayank Srivastava.
But what stunned the police was that the Maoists fired two inch mortars which landed inside the camp but thankfully missed target, exploding without causing any damage. "These are mortars used by security forces. The Maoists perhaps looted them in a previous attack," Srivastava said.
In Thursday's attack, the Maoists snatched away an AK 47 and an SLR rifle from the dead policemen.

DANTEWADA/NARAYANPUR: Within 24 hours, two separate Maoist strikes left 15 policemen dead in Chhattisgarh on Thursday. Late night at 11:30 pm in Dantewada district, Maoists triggered a powerful explosion that flung an anti landmine vehicle in the air, killing 10 of 13 policemen seated inside. Earlier, at 5:15 am, Maoists launched an attack on a newly opened police camp in Narayanpur district with light machine guns and mortars, leaving five policemen dead.
Separated by 250 kilometres, both attacks displayed an adept use of explosives by the guerillas. Their combined impact left troops on the ground shaken, and brought the top brass of the police and paramilitary on a visit from the state capital.
