Maoist posters surface in Charla mandal

Hand-written posters calling upon people to observe a protest day on April 25 against the alleged attempts to dilute the SCs and STs (Prevention of Atrocities) Act and “unabated attacks” on Dalits, minorities, rationalists and women surfaced in the name of Maoists in remote tribal pockets of Charla mandal on Tuesday.

Sources said suspected Maoist rebels had put up posters, bearing the name of the CPI (Maoist) Charla-Sabari Area Committee with an appeal to people to observe the “protest day” on Wednesday.

The posters contained slogans condemning the “fascist” attacks on Adivasis and growing sexual assault cases in the country.
