KOZHIKODE: Police have started investigation into the appearance of posters of CPI (Maoist) at two locations at Koyilandi on Friday. The printed posters are in the name of the Western Ghats Special Zonal Committee of the organisations. The posters exhort the people to join the war to reclaim the rights for forest, water and land. The posters also ask the people to strengthen the peoples’ war to capture people’s power in the Western Ghats area.
Maoists distributed leaflets in last February in the tribal hamlets in Kannur as part of the observance of martyr’s day of Naxalite leader Varghese, which falls on February 18. The armed cadres of the People’s Liberation Guerrilla Army (PLGA) had visited the adivasi colonies in Kannur and Wayanad districts. It is believed that at least five armed squads of the PLGA are operating in the forests in the Kerala-Karnataka border. Vikram Gowda, a Maoist from Karnataka, is suspected to be the leader of the squads. Maoists had declared the formation of new guerrilla zone in South India. Mallojula Venugopal Rao alias Abhay, the brother of Kishenji, the Maoist leader killed in an encounter two years ago is the secretary of the new guerrilla zone.
