On December 17, Naxals set ablaze 20 vehicles of an engineering company, deployed for railway work in West Singhbhum area of Jharkhand. It not only hindered railway expansion work but also caused a huge loss to the company. The incident happened even as the police department along with railways was planning to deploy security forces in the area due to increased Naxal activities.
