According to sources, Maoists are reportedly camping on the Adhualapata Mountain near Gandapali village under the PS.The banners and posters seized by police have been handwritten in both Odia and Hindi and issued by the Odisha State Committee of the CPI (Maoist).They have mentioned that the Maoists are struggling to free innocent people from the torture of companies, mahajanas and Jamindars. It has also urged the people not to believe and keep away from ‘Narendra Modi’s’ cheating speech on developmental projects.
