Suspected Naxals set ablaze vehicles and a machine engaged in laying a water pipeline in restive Dantewada district, police said on Sunday.

The incident took place late Saturday night in Masenar village where the pipeline was being laid for water supply, a local police official informed.

According to preliminary information, a group of suspected ultras stormed into the site, located about 450 km south from the state capital, and set on fire a JCB machine and a     tractor parked there.

On getting information about the incident on Sunday morning, security forces rushed to the spot and launched a combing operation to track down the ultras.

Police suspect the arson was carried out by left-wing insurgents though no Maoist pamphlet was recovered from the spot.

Naxals have frequently tried to disrupt development and infrastructure projects particularly road construction in Bastar division which is made up of seven districts including Dantewada.
