Chautara, Feb. 25 (RSS): Maoist terrorists have looted Rs. 45,000 and set furniture and officials documents on fire in an assault at Agriculture Development Bank sub-branch at Thulopakhar VDC in Sindhupalchowk district on Saturday evening.

According to branch manager Mohan Bahadur K.C., the Maiosts numbering about 50 set on fire mattresses and blankets being used by the employees excluding two steel armirahs.

Similarly, the vacant buildings of a police campus at Dandapakhar caused a damage after Maoist terrorists set on fire.

Three out of 27 buildings were completely damaged and some caused minor damages.

The buildings used by the police personnel as a training centre were abandoned on February 21.

The buildings were constructed with the cooperation of the Swiss government to implement development projects in Sindhupalchowk and Dolakha district under intensive mountain area development project.

With the completion of the project, the buildings were being used as a campus for the police personnel since last year after its handing over to Sindhupalchowk DDC.
