Seven police personnel were killed after Naxals blew up their vehicle in Chhattisgarh’s Dantewada district on Sunday, police said. The attack took place on a day when Union Home Minister Rajanth Singh was scheduled to arrive in the State.

Naxals carried out a landmine blast around 12 noon when a joint team of the Chhattisgarh Armed Force and the District Force was patrolling Cholnar-Kirandul road to provide security to trucks carrying construction material for road works, a senior police official said.
