Jamshedpur, July 27: While police and paramilitary forces are trying to flush out the Naxals by carrying out special operations against them from Kolhan and Porahat forest divisions in West Singhbhum, the rebels have resorted to poster campaigning in the troubled district.
Issued by the outlawed outfit, CPI-Maoist, the posters were found stuck on a wall and on trees at Jorapokhar village along Sonua-Lonjo road under the Sonua thana area about 130 km away from here on Thursday morning.
Unlike earlier occasions, the posters were printed with meticulous descriptions of what the rebels want in their pursuance of running the timidly Naxal movement in the region.
This time the Naxals’ move reflects timidly as despite getting the posters printed they could fix the posters in a very limited area.
In the posters that the police had torn up immediately after coming to know about them read that the ‘boobytraps’ in the form of IEDs will not be removed from the Kolhan and Porahat forest divisions unless the administration does not withdraw forward camps of paramilitary forces from there.
It has also been mentioned in the posters that the CPI-Maoist will observe a martyr week from July 28 till August 3 during which the outfit will try to motivate the common people to join the movement.
It may be mentioned here that a large number of Naxals have sneaked into the Kolhan and Porahat forest divisions on being flushed out from Saranda forest following concerted anti-insurgency operation. But before lurking into the twin forest divisions, they had managed to plant an unspecified number of IEDs there so as to prevent any operation against them.
