Malkangiri: As a precautionary measure in view of the Martyrs’ Week of Maoists, beginning Saturday, bus services have been suspended on various routes in Malkangiri district.
“Additional security forces including CRPF, DVF and BSF have been deployed to tackle any untoward situation in border areas of the district. The vehicles entering Odisha are being flagged down and checked,” Malkangiri SP Jagmohan Meena informed.
The Maoists conduct cultural programmes, meetings and recruitment drives during the week to commemorate the gunning down of cadres by security forces.
Combing operations have also been intensified in interior areas after Maoist posters and pamphlets surfaced at some places at Muniguda in Rayagada district.
Another Maoist poster was recovered from Midiapanga under Baliguda police limits in Kandhamal district. Through the poster, bearing the name of People’s Liberation Guerrilla Army (PLGA), the rebels have urged the local youths to join the organisation in large numbers.
