Reds’ PLGA Week begins today
VISAKHAPATNAM: With the Maoists all geared up to celebrate the 14 anniversary of their military wing People’s Liberation Guerilla Army (PLGA) in the Andhra-Odisha Border area from Tuesday to December 9, tension gripped the Visakha Agency as a large number of banners and posters were visible at various places along the border. Fearing attacks by Reds, politicians and those who have found their way on the Naxalites’ hit-list have already gone to safer places even before the week-long celebrations began.
Such is the fear that tribals are not even venturing to the weekly markets in the Agency area, said sources. With a high alert sounded, a large number of security personnel have been pressed into action for combing operations in the Maoists stronghold areas. The cops have also taken up stringent vehicle checking at various places in the Agency such as Paderu, Munchingput, G Madugula, Annavaram, Lotugedda Junction, Chintapalli, GK Veedhi, Seeleru, Koyyuru, Narsipatnam, among others.
Maoists have been celebrating the PLGA anniversary in memory of their martyrs Nalla Adireddy alias Syam, Murali and Naresh, who were killed in an encounter at Koyyuru in Karimnagar in 2000. After their death, the then People’s War Group (PWG) reinvented itself into PLGA. During the PLGA week celebrations, Maoists usually focus on recruitments and pay tributes to their martyrs. Visakha Rural SP Dr Koya Praveen said special parties have already been deployed at various Maoists stronghold pockets in the district over the past 10 days and have been continuously carrying out combing operations.
“Our men are on job. We will not allow the Naxalites to create any trouble. We have already warned those who are on the Maoists’ hit-list and are taking all necessary precautions. We have alerted all the police personnel in the Agency police stations,” he said. According to police sources, this year’s PLGA celebrations are being spearheaded by key AOB Special Zonal Committee leader Pratapareddy Ramachandra Reddy alias Appa Rao alias Sudha alias Kailasam.
“They have already formed small local guerilla squads and even one area committee at Pedabayalu mandal,” sources in anti-Naxal wing. Suspecting that the Reds may strike at interior pockets and damage government property to show their presence in the district, the security forces have deployed nine CRPF companies to guard the police stations in the sensitive areas Visakha Agency. Apart from this, around 400-500 Greyhounds have been pressed in to service along with personnel from district armed reserved force. Across the border in Odisha, 33 BSF camps have been set up in Malakangiri and 26 BSF camps in Koraput district in preparation of the PLGA week.
