Maoists call for shutdown in Jharkhand over land acquisition ordinance

Ranchi, Feb 12 (ANI): Maoists called for a 24-hour shutdown on Thursday in Jharkhand state against central government's land acquisition bill. Rebels blew up railway tracks in Gomoh, Bokaro and Dhanbad regions of the state. The shutdown had an impact as no public transport was available for daily commuters. Prime Minister Narendra Modi-led government passed an urgent executive order in December last year to ease land-acquisition rules in sectors like power, housing and defence to kick-start hundreds of billions of dollars in stalled projects, though investments are unlikely to flow in immediately. The Maoists, also known as Naxals in India, are inspired by the political philosophy of China's late Chairman Mao Zedong. They say they are fighting for the rights of poor farmers and landless labourers. Feb 12, 2015
