2 BSNL workers injured in Maoist pressure blast

A group of Maoists triggered a pressure bomb causing injuries to two engineers of the central government owned telecommunications company, Bharat Sanchar Nigam Limited (BSNL), in Bijapur district of Chhattisgarh on Tuesday. It is believed that the Maoists first cut the cable link from the spot so as to hamper any possible communication with others and then planted the pressure explosives. Consequently, a team of engineers and technicians were summoned to rectify the line and the bomb blasted injuring two of the engineers severely.
