Maoist posters and leaflets seized

Odisha Police today seized a large number of Maoist posters and leaflets from adjoining villages bordering Jharkhand barely 10 days after withdrawal of the para-military forces from the area.
Posters inciting local youth to join their ranks for the interest of peasants and labourers to commemorate Peoples' Liberation Guerilla Army (PLGA) week from December 2 inscribed in red ink were seized, DSP (crime) Benoy Krushna Kamilla said.
The posters and Maoist publicity materials were first sighted in various Anganwadi centres, gram panchayat offices and cabins in Sankhabhanga, Bazargada, Kapadiha, Pokharia and Dakadihi villages under Jharpokharia police station and Chadheipahadi, Dentagara and Tiakati villages under Gorumahisani police station, Kamilla said.

Though the Similipal National Park area was once considered a den of Maoist ultras, the district was free from any activities by Left Wing Extremists (LWE) during the last five years after deployment of two companies of CRPF in bordering police stations like Gorumahisani and Suliapada.
"However the deployment was withdrawn last week. No one was rounded up by the police over the incident," a local police officer said.
