Jamui: Heavily armed Maoists blew up the Khaira Block office, destroyed official files by putting them on fire and torched 12 sand-laden truck late last night in the district, during their two-day East Bihar and Jharkand bandh agitation, police sources said.

"Over 50 heavily armed Naxals triggered dynamite blast to blow up the Khaira block office," they said, adding the ultras later burnt the official files.

No casualties were reported in these incidents, sources added.

The Maoists have given a two-day East Bihar and Jharkhand bandh call to protest the arrest of their five leaders from various places in Bihar and Jharkhand.

Two days ago, the Naxalites had burnt two mobile telephone towers, blew up a railway cabin and set several vehicles on fire in Bihar's Jamui and Banka districts.
