Gadchiroli (Maharashtra): At least 10 Central Reserve
Police Force (CRPF) troopers were killed Tuesday when a mine blast
triggered by Maoists blew up their vehicle in Dhanora area of
Gadchiroli district, a top official said.
Though details of the incident - which occurred deep in the
jungle, around 50 km from the Gadchiroli district headquarters -
are still being collated, an official who declined to be
identified termed the blast "a very major one".
"As per our preliminary information, at least 10 are feared
killed. Given the intensity of the blast, the casualty figure
could go up," he added.
The injured are being rushed to local hospitals and the serious
ones are being taken to Nagpur, around 175 km from here.
Top police and civil officials have left for the scene of the
incident and further details are awaited.
