Malkangiri (Monday, 28th January 2008): Maoists triggerred a blast at a new jail building which was under construction at MV-79, about 60 km from here early on Monday, causing substantial damage to it.
There was no injury due to the explosion as the building was still under construction.
There was nobody inside the structure when the blast took place in the early hours.
The building, however, suffered considerable damage as a major portion of the structure collapsed under the impact of the blast.
As a precautionary measure, Orissa’s borders with Maoist influence Andhra Pradesh and Chhattisgarh have been sealed after the incident to prevent movement of maoists from one state to another.
