Chhattisgarh: Naxals set ablaze 6 vehicles in Sukma district

Manish Dhuppad from the Chhattisgarh Mini Steel Plant Association warned that the situation might worsen, affecting production costs and prices.

According to a statement issued by Tiruchirappalli District Collector V Saravanan, the restriction has been imposed as a security measure. The order prohibits the flying of drones and other unmanned aerial vehicles throughout the district for the entire day on March 11.

Japan Embassy's Minister for Political Affairs, Abe Noriaki, paid a courtesy call on Chhattisgarh Chief Minister Vishnu Deo Sai at the Chief Minister's office in Vidhan Sabha premises on Monday.

"Why don't you protest when atrocities are committed against tribals? Why don't you protest when it happens in Madhya Pradesh or Chhattisgarh? First, do something for them, then say anything. Don't play politics at the time of the election, as per the BJP's advice," Banerjee said.

Preparatory works are progressing rapidly at the site. Earthmoving machines, including JCB vehicles, are continuously engaged in clearing and preparing the ground for the large-scale public meeting.
