The CPI Maoists Rayagada Division on Saturday threatened to kill the contractor and supervisor of the ongoing Prime Minister Gram Sadak Yojna (PMGSY) road project at Ambaguda village under the Bijepur police station in Kalahandi district.
The rebels put up the hand written posters on trees and JCB machines at the construction site stating the road from Trilochanpur to Phuldumer village and Rural Division (RD) road to Amthapadar village should not be more than five-feet wide and it should not be a pucca one.
In the posters, the ultras also demanded shifting of the camp site and threatened the villagers who are engaged in the project of dire consequences.
Kalahandi SP Batulla Gangadhar said the authenticity of the posters was yet to be ascertained and it might be the handiwork of some mischief mongers.
Earlier in February 2018, the Maoists had shot dead a contractor, Siba Shankar Das of Bhawanipatna, who was executing a PMGSY road construction project from Bijepur to Pajibahali. He had earlier been also threatened and asked to stop roadwork.
