Police have seized several posters, which mention about Maoists’ strong opposition to two proposed CRPF base camps, from Kurli gram panchayat of Bisamkatak block in Rayagada district.
Sources said Maoist leaders of Bansadhara-Nagavali-Ghumusar Division have in the posters strongly protested the efforts of the State Government to set up two CRPF base camps in Kalyansinghpur and Bisamkatak blocks.
The posters say that the Government has decided to deploy the Central forces in order to hand over the Niyamgiri hill to a multinational company.
Meanwhile, CRPF and the DVF personnel have launched a joint combing operation in Kurli, Khambeshu and Khajura areas of the district to flush out the Red rebels from the area.
It may be mentioned that the CRPF IG (Operation) Piyush Anand, during his visit to Rayagada district headquarters on Tuesday, had discussed anti-Maoist strategy with the CRPF personnel.
Before winding up his tour, Anand had an aerial survey of Chandrapur, Muniguda, Kalyansinghpur and Bisamkatak as possible locations for the two new CRPF base camps in these areas.
