India - CPI (M) posters surface near Botigudem forest area

Handwritten posters bearing the name of CPI (Maoist) Venkatapuram area committee have reportedly sprung up on the fringes of Botigudem forest area in the tribal sub-plan mandal of Charla in the early hours of Sunday. A slew of posters purportedly written by the rebels in red ink surfaced in the forest fringe areas along the Botigudem-Anjanapuram road early on Sunday morning, according to sources. The posters contained slogans demanding distribution of lands belonging to Bhadrachalam temple at various places in agency areas, among landless tribal people, sanction of pattas to Adivasis for “Podu lands” and shelving of Polavaram and Kanthanapally projects.
