Naxals set two trucks on fire in a village near Gaya late Tuesday evening.
"They gathered the labor staff and said that the work is going on even after they had ordered not to. Then everyone was made to stand aside, they sprinkled petrol on the trucks and set them on fire," said Surendra Prasad Yadav, a truck owner.
