In a brazen attack, Naxals on Monday blew up a bus killing at least 50 people, including 20 Special Police Officers (SPOs), in worst-hit Dantewada district of Chhattisgarh, the second in six weeks.



The passenger bus, which was on its way from Sukma to Dantewada, was blown up by Maoists between Gadiras to Bhusaras near Chingavaram village, about 450 KMs from here using Improvised Explosive Device with gelatin sticks.



The bus was thrown up several feet with the impact of the explosion and body parts were strewn along the roadside.



The attack, which took place at around 16:45 hrs, was seen as yet another violation of Standard Operating Procedures which prohibit policemen and SPOs to travel in civilian vehicles.



Strongly condemning the attack, Union Home Secretary GK Pillai said the killing of innocent civilians showed "wanton disregard" for life by Naxals.



"This pattern of killing unarmed civilians has been the hallmark of Maoist violence over the years. In the last two days, we have seen that a village sarpanch and five others were killed," Pillai said.



He said seven persons were injured and have been rushed to hospital where their condition is serious.



Chhattisgarh Chief Minister Raman Singh said the attack showed the desperation of the Naxals who were losing their support base.

Appointed Prime Minister of India is just sleeping, useless babu, what a curse on India?

Idiot won't allow State's to take action, he will do nothing himself.
