A power sub-station was blown up by armed Maoists in a village in Bihar’s naxal-infested Jamui District, police said.

The Maoists, numbering over 100, stormed the sub-station in Badigram village on Sunday night and blew it up with explosives, Deputy Superintendent of Police (DSP) Virendra Sahu said on Monday.

A room of the power sub-station was totally wrecked in the explosion hitting power supply, Sahu said.

Some employees at the sub-station managed to escape just in time, Sahu said.

A case has been registered and a search for the Maoists was being made.
