Hundreds of residents villagers of Madikula and Tikiripada came here on Monday to meet Kandhamal SP Pratik Singh regarding missing of eight persons of their villages since January 8.
They said they have lodged a complaint in this regard at the Dadar PS, but no step has been taken by police to trace the missing persons so far. Notably, prior to this, Maoists had killed a person and torched vehicles in this area. So, the villagers question whether the missing of their eight fellowmen is linked to any Maoist activity. Only an effective investigation would make the matter clear they pleaded.
They submitted a memorandum to the SP in this regard.
