Naxals blast government guesthouse
in Madhya Pradesh

Naxalites of the banned People's War Group blasted a government guesthouse and set afire a telephone exchange and a liquor still in Samnapur village, Madhya Pradesh, early on Tuesday, police said.

Inspector General of Police P L Pandey said the Naxalites, numbering around 40 to 45, woke up the chowkidar of the government guesthouse at Samnapur after midnight and asked him to vacate the place.

The chowkidar, Suresh Chokse, vacated the place along with his wife and the Naxals blasted it with ammunition, Pandey added.

He said the literature left behind by the ultras stated that they had formed a new outfit called the People's Guerrilla Group and were opposed to POTO.

The Naxalites then moved to the nearby telephone exchange and after gathering the material inside, set it on fire.

Before leaving the village, they also set on fire a liquor still, the IGP said.

He said there was no information of anyone getting injured in these series of incidents.
