Cops vigil on BT road laying works at Jodeghat

Cops are more vigilant than the engineers of Tribal Welfare engineering department on BT road laying works taken up at a cost of Rs 3 crore which are under progress for 22 km from Hatti to Jodeghat in Kerameri mandal and checking regularly the road laying works.

The police suspects that Maoists may hide or plant dynamites or detonators in the new road or repair works taking the advantage of road laying works and to be triggered targeting the political leaders or others in future.

Cops are checking the road laying works with bomb disposal squads and keeping the vigil on the laborers involved in the road works to avoid untoward incidents in future.

The 22 km road is being laid in the dense forest area which was once strong hold of Maoists.

Cops are not leaving any chance to Naxalites since the Maoists issued an ultimatums to the ruling government in the wake of Warangal encounter in which two Maoists were killed.

It is said that Central and state police forces have been combing the Jodeghat and its surrounding forest for the past few days in the wake of 75^th death anniversary of late Komaram Bheem on October 27.

Local police are making trips every day to Jodeghat from Hatti to inspect the road laying works and keep a watch on the suspicious persons moving in the area and also laborers involved in construction works of Komaram Bheem memorial, arch and museum works.

It may be recalled here that, 13 years ago, one person died and few others injured when Naxalites had triggered a bomb targeting a jeep in which government employees were traveling at a curve on the hillock enroute Jodeghat on the day of Komaram Bheem death anniversary.
