Maoists ambushed and killed one policeman and injured two others near Khalangha bazzar in Jumla Wednesday, police said Thursday.
Four security personnel earlier reported missing have contacted their nearest station in the far west district whose headquarters was attacked by insurgents more than two months ago. Maoists inflicted heavy casualties on civilian police but an army platoon repulsed the attack by rebels who also suffered heavy casualties.
District headquarters was completely damaged with accusations against the government of Prime MInister Lokendra Bahadur Chand that the government has been doing very little for reconstruction.
