CPI (Maoist) Martyrs' Week begins: Maoist posters surface in Charla mandal of Bhadradri Kothagudem district
The Charla police have intensified vigil along the inter-State border with Maoist hotbed of Chhattisgarh's south Bastar region in view of the Martyrs' Week being observed by the banned CPI (Maoist) from July 28 to August 3.
As a prelude to the CPI (Maoist)'s martyrs' week, pamphlets against the Centre's 'Operation Kagar' surfaced in the name of the CPI (Maoist) Bhadradri Kothagudem-Alluri Sitarama Raju (BK-ASR) division committee at R Kothagudem and Danavaipeta villages in Charla mandal in the early hours of Monday.
The pamphlets were found strewn around the R Kothagudem main road in Charla mandal of Bhadrachalam Agency, sources said.
The Maoists, through the pamphlets, called upon people to organise 'martyrs' memorial' meetings in villages from July 28 to August 3.
'Kumram Bheem Mancherial division committee members Vargeesh, Mangu, Raju and another comrade attained martyrdom in Gadchiroli district of Maharashtra on March 19. More than 194 comrades sacrificed their lives in the offensive by fascist regimes over the last one year,' read a paragraph in the pamphlet.
A slogan in the pamphlet read: 'This year we are observing the martyrs' memorial week amidst the brutal offensive on the revolutionary movement by the fascist regimes. The BK-ASR division committee is paying rich tributes to the martyrs and rededicating to realise their ideals.'
Meanwhile, in the wake of volatile situation prevailing in the restive forested border with Chhattisgarh, the police have stepped up vigil in Dummugudem mandal and other Agency mandals to prevent any untoward incidents.
