Narayanpur (Agenzia Fides) - The Catholic Church of the Sacred Heart in the Indian state of Chhattisgarh (central India) was vandalized by a tribal mob. The incident, which happened yesterday afternoon, January 2, in the village of Edka, located in the district of Narayanpur, caused several minor injuries, including a police officer.
