Kondagaon. (28:03): “Naxalites wreak havoc in the district yet again, setting fire to a mobile tower installed in a village. The incident, carried out by 4-5 Naxalites around 11 pm on Wednesday night, has resulted in a complete loss of network in the surrounding area. Additional Superintendent of Police Satish Bhargava has confirmed the incident.”
“With Lok Sabha elections approaching in Bastar, the recent arson attack by Naxalites on the Jio tower in Kejang village has left a 5-kilometer radius devoid of network coverage.”
The government and administration have installed towers in numerous Naxal-affected villages, serving as vital links in disrupting Maoist networks. These towers enable the dissemination of information about every incident promptly. This significant development is attributed to the widespread adoption of mobile phones among villagers, connecting them to the country and the world while also providing access to information about various government schemes in the village.
