India - Maoists leader demands withdrawal of ops in Koraput district


KORAPUT: The Maoists have opposed Operation Bluemoon launched by the Koraput district administration in Narayanpatna and Bandhugaon blocks recently. Maoist leader and secretary of the Srikakulam-Koraput Divisional Committee (SKDC) of the CPI (Maoist) Daya through letters sent to some media persons in Koraput on Saturday has demanded a stop to the operation accusing the administration of trying to construct roads for establishment of BSF camps in Bandhugaon and Narayanpatna blocks to supress the Maoist movement.

“Maoists are fighting for the legitimate rights of people over land, forest and water. And through Operation Bluemoon, the administration is trying to supress it by deploying more forces in the area and is misleading people on false promises,” the Maoist letter stated. Recently, the administration launched the operation for strengthening infrastructure facilities like roads, schools, healthcare centres, drinking water facilities, electricity and to address the grievances of people in villages of the Maoist-hit Narayanpatna and Bandhugaon blocks. tnn
