Naxal killings wanton, mindless: MHA

New Delhi, Oct 26 (PTI) The Indian government Monday
termed as wanton, mindless and pre-mediated the landmine
attack by Naxals in India's central state of Chhattisgarh that
left four Central Industrial Security Force (CISF) personnel
dead.

"The government strongly condemns this unprovoked and
heinous attack by the CPI (Maoist) on a public sector security
force that was on a routine patrol in an area falling under
the jurisdiction of a public sector corporation," the Indian
Home Ministry said in a statement.
It noted that the CISF team was on routine patrol of
the area under a public sector undertaking, National Minerals
Development Corporation (NMDC), which is engaged in
development of minerals, gives employment, promotes economic
activity, and undertakes many welfare activities in the area
as part of its corporate social responsibility.
The Ministry questioned "not only the CPI (Maoist) but
also to those who speak on their behalf and chastise the
government" as to what was the motive behind the attack and
what is the message the Communist Party of India (Maoist)
intends to convey.
Four CISF personnel, inclduing a sub-inspector, a head
constable and two constables, were killed and two others were
critically injured in a landmine blast in the mines area of
NMDC in Bacheli in Dantewada Sunday. (MORE) PTI ABS
