Hyderabad, June 17: Targeting the economic interests of the ruling TDP leadership, Naxalites of the outlawed People's War Group (PWG) have blasted a mini hydel power plant owned by the family members of Andhra Pradesh minor irrigation minister K E Prabhakar in Kurnool district. A group of three armed extremists barged into the plant, located near Guntakandala village in the district late last night and manhandled the security staff before blasting the generator room and the control room, police said here today.
The four mw plant, which is currently not in operation due to non-availability of water in K C canal, suffered extensive damage in the blast.
After blasting the plant using detonators, the ultras raised slogans condemning `fake police encounters', police said. Bureau Report
