The state government is adopting a multi-pronged strategy to fight the Maoists to protect the development work from the latter’s violence in the state.
A shadow committee called Adilabad Praja Panula Rakshana Committee (public works protection committee) a first of its kind was floated allegedly backed by the police after Maoists torched the machinery used in construction of inter-state bridge on river Pranahitha at Gudem village in Bejjur mandal on April26,2016.
It is learned that such organizations will be in place in all the Maoists affected areas in the districts where development work is going on especially districts sharing bordering with river Pranahitha and the Godavari.
Meanwhile, Maoists in the letter which was left behind after indulging in violence at Gudem, opposed the big irrigation projects and opencast mines and alleged police harassment of innocent Adivasis in the name of combings.
On the other hand, state government deployed huge police force including Greyhounds along the river Pranathitha and combing the areas both the sides of the river in Telangana and Maharashtra using modern technology and land mine proof vehicles.
Joint operations by the Maharashtra , Telangana and Chattisgarh are being done along the rivers pranahitha and the Godavari both the sides giving tough time to Maoists.
Recently, three Maoists including dreaded Maoist Atram Shoban alias Charles of Adilabad were killed in an encounter that took place in the forests in Aheri taluq in Gadchiroli district of Maharashtra.
