Red alert in nine districts in Jharkhand

The Jharkhand Government has declared a red alert in nine districts after suspected Maoist Communist Centre activists increased attacks.

In the latest incident, they used dynamite to destroy the house of former Bihar chief minister K B Sahay.

Sahay was chief minister in the mid-1960s.

The attack came on the day the body of the block development officer of Gidhor, Nawal Kishore Prasad Singh, was recovered.

Singh was abducted by suspected activists of the MCC on Sunday afternoon and his body was found in a jungle on Wednesday.

Singh is the first administrative officer to be killed in Jharkhand belt after the state's creation.
