An Improvised Explosive Device (IED) explosion triggered by Naxals resulted in minor injuries to an ITBP jawan here on Thursday.
The injured ITBP jawan has been identified as Constable Man Singh. He has received minor injuries in the blast and has recovered from it after getting first aid.
The blast took place on ITBP Road Opening Party (ROP) at around 11 AM.
Rajnandgaon is a Naxal-affected area and polling for the Lok Sabha elections is underway here.
