A bunch of handwritten posters
denouncing the alleged destruction of crops in “podu lands” belonging to
tribal people in forest fringe areas of the district sprang up in the
name of the CPI (Maoist) Sabari Area committee at Chalamala village near
Taliperu reservoir in Charla mandal on Sunday.
According to sources, several posters, handwritten in red ink, surfaced along the Chalamala-Tippapuram road on Sunday morning.
The rebels, through the posters, alleged
that the Telangana government was trying to take up plantations in the
“podu lands” in the name of “Haritha Haram” and was resorting to
repressive measures against the tribal people without implementing the
Panchayats (Extension to Scheduled Areas) Act (PESA) and the Forest
Rights Act in the Agency areas.
