Sensation prevails, after a junior engineer and a supervisor of a private construction company were abducted by militants this morning.

As per inputs, 4 heavily armed gunmen equipped with sophisticated weapons came to an under construction bridge site and kidnapped Liamgao Pansa, Supervisor, and Sashan Yadav, JE, in the wee hours today.
