As per a tip-off received about the presence of the members of banned Communist Party of India (Maoist) in the region, a raid was conducted in a joint operation by  paramilitary forces and district police and 6.5 quintal of ammonium nitrate, used for making explosives, was recovered from a Maoist hideout in Jamui district of Bihar. "In a collective operation by CRPF 215 battalion, Jamui Police and Special Task Force (STF) tried to surround the Maoists but seeing the police approach they evacuated the camp. A lot of things were recovered from the spot," said Jamui's Superintendent of Police (SP), Jayant Kant.

The Superintendent has said that the Maoists were planning to use the ammonium nitrate to make bombs to disrupt elections in the state which are scheduled to take place later this year. He added that during the raid security forces also got some crucial information regarding the plans of Maoists for the upcoming elections.

Bihar which was ruled by Lalu Prasad Yadav has made a place for lawlessness. Now Nithish Kumar, who has very much thirst for power is least bothered about the safety and security of the state, instead he is compromising for getting votes and the law and order in the state has deteriorated.
