Posters surface in Mamata’s Kolkata on Independence Day eve
On Friday, a day before Independence Day, as many as 8-10 posters
with Maoists links were found near the Manicktala Main Road which falls
under Narkeldanga Police Station’s jurisdiction. Police officials of
Narkeldanga rushed to the spot and pulled down those posters
immediately. Meanwhile the Special Branch of the Kolkata police have
swung into action, just a day before Independence Day.
When dna contacted Joint Commissioner of Kolkata Police
(Intelligence), Dilip Bandyapadhyay to know the contents of the posters,
he refused to divulge anything related to the matter. Earlier last
month, as many as fifty Maoist posters had surfaced in Purulia district
of the state. The posters were put up, seeking people’s support for the
Martyrs’ week. Meanwhile, security has been beefed up across the city
and other parts of the state.
Maoist Shadow on I-Day, Security Tightened in Malkangiri
MALKANGIRI: Even as the Maoists have given a call to observe the
Independence Day as black day, Sports and Youth Affairs Minister Sudam
Marandi will unfurl the Tricolour at Malkangiri on Saturday. The Maoists
have given a bandh call on Saturday demanding stopping of the combing
operation in the district. In wake of Maoists’ bandh call, security has
been scaled up. BSF jawans have been pressed into service to keep vigil
at the DNK Ground here and surrounding areas where the Minister will
hoist the Tricolour.
Area domination operation has been intensified by BSF, District
Voluntary Forces and Special Operation Group jawans in Kalimela, MV-79,
Motu, Podia, Chitrakonda, Khairput, Mathili and Govindpali. Alert has
been sounded in the area, people are being frisked at entry and exit
points of the district and patrolling intensified. Additional forces
have been deployed in other sensitive areas. Last year too, in posters
and banners put up at several places in Kalimela, Motu, MV-79, Podia,
Chitrakonda, Khairput, Govindpalli in Malkangiri district and Machhkund,
Ankadeli, Narayanpatna and Bandhugaon in Koraput district, the rebels
had urged people to observe the I-Day as a black day by stating that
real freedom still eludes people.
