The Naxals have decided to protest by pulling out the train tracks. This takes place when the President was to visit the state.
The trains were uprooted in the Bhansi area of Dantewada district, Chattisgarh.
This was done to call a bandh in different parts of Bastar Division from July 28 to August 3, against security forces who killed Maoists. Pamphlets were also dropped stating “Make Bastar bandh successful.”
