Only 25% roads built in Chhattisgarh's Maoist areas
Only 25% of the 300-km road stretches that were proposed in Chhattisgarh's worst Maoist-affected region, Dantewada district, have been constructed till now, according to government data. CRPF officials have cited inadequate work by private contractors as one of the reasons for the delay. Contractors are afraid of the Maoists who oppose any construction in their stronghold areas, officials said.
