Raipur: A CRPF jawan on Saturday injured in a pressure bomb blast laid by naxals on an under-construction route in Chhattisgarh's insurgency-hit Dantewada district, police said.
The incident took place while a team of paramilitary was patrolling to ensure security to the under-construction Aranpur (Dantewada)-Jagargunda (Sukma) road which passes through restive dense forests, under Aranpur police station limits, Dantewada Superintendent of Police Kamlochan Kashyap told PTI.
