Tension flared at Sompalli sand ramp in Burgampad mandal after villagers opposing illegal sand mining were attacked by ramp operators. A constable and a Home Guard sustained minor injuries when a speeding sand truck hit their two-wheeler while returning from the site.
Security personnel recovered another IED planted by Naxalites at a different location in the same district, officials said. The first IED blast occurred around 11 a.m. near the newly established Raiguda police camp under the Chintalnar police station area. The explosion happened while a District Reserve Guard (DRG) team, a unit of the state police, was conducting an area domination operation, an official stated.
