Maoists blew up a panchayat office building and a godown in Orissa's Malkangiri district early today in an apparent bid to prevent security personnel from camping there.

The police said that around 50 armed ultras raided Kangurukunda village at Kalimela, about 40 km from here, early today and set off an explosion, destrying the panchayat office. A godown nearby was also blown up by the rebels.

Security personnel in strength have gone to the area.

The two structures were targeted by the ultras because they believed they could serve as temporary camps for sheltering security personnel deployed in the area.

This was the third panchayat office building blown up by the Maoists in the Kalimela area in the last 45 days.

Panchayat offices at Telrai and Badigata had earlier been blasted too by the ultras, sources said.
