Three police personnel were killed in a landmine blast triggered by left-wing extremists—Naxalites—of the People’s War Group (PWG). Three Naxalites were killed in subsequent encounter that occurred between Kothur and Dachepalli villages, Guntur district, on January 5. Official sources said the police personnel were escorting three jeeps carrying officials of the State government’s Janmbhoomi (community development) programme when the Naxals triggered the blast. The officials were going to organize a gramsabha (village meeting) in Naxal-affected Kothur village as part of the Janmabhoomi programme. Soon after the landmine blast, over a dozen police personnel, who were part of the escort team, began to fire in the direction from where the Naxals triggered the landmines. During the encounter, three Naxals, including a woman, were killed. Senior police officials, including the State police chief P Ramulu, rushed to the scene and a combing operation has been launched to track down the Naxalites.
