Suspected Naxals on Saturday threw
handbills in Maharashtra's Gadchiroli, some 950 kilometres from here, threatening police and district authorities over construction of a road, police said.
The handbills were found on Kamlapur-Damrancha Road at Aheri over a 12-kilometre patch in the afternoon, said an official.
"The handbill asked police and district authorities to stop road work under the Pradhan Mantri Gram Sadak Yojana currently underway between Kamlapur and Darmancha. It also told police not to recruit informers," he said.
On Wednesday, handbills were found in Perimeli area of Aheri and banners in Tadgaon in Bhamragad, he added.
"Since the beginning of the week, Naxal activity has increased in Aheri, Khobramendha in Kurkheda and Bhamragad in Gadchiroli," the official said.
