Pipeline carrying ore restarts, is there a deal with Maoists?
Yashwant Ramteke from Dantewada is saying that the work on Essar pipeline which takes away iron ore from Dantewada to Vishakhapatnam has again started. This pipeline goes through deep tribal areas which are under control of maoists. Earlier Maoists had destroyed the pipeline at many place and the work was closed for years. He says the restart of work has raised a question in people’s mind asking whether there has been a deal struck between Maoists and Essar. Police should investigate it, he says

Excuse of Naxal threat for not building rural roads can be false
Yashwant Ramteke from Dantewada in Chhattisgarh says he is noticing something strange with Pradhanmantri Gram Sadak Yojna in the district. He says the contractors complete the work of bridges and culvert but do not complete the work on roads giving Naxal threat as a reason. He says if Naxal threat was the reason then how are they able to complete work on the bridges and culverts?
