Maoist' posters found in Binka

BINKA: Appearance of Naxal posters in Binka has created panic in Sonepur district. It is yet to be ascertained whether the Naxals pasted the posters or it is handiwork of some rumour-mongers.

The hand-written posters, which were found pasted at strategic locations like Tehsil Office Chowk, in front of Wesco office, bus stand and Block Chowk and loosely scattered here and there, have issued death warrant to Chief Minister Naveen Patnaik if he decides to release water from Hirakud Dam Reservoir for industries.

The posters have also threatened police, administrators, contractors, scribes, capitalists and rice-millers with dire consequences if they act against the poor and the needy.

The posters have further warned of a repeat of Nayagarh if the interest of farmers and poor are not taken care of. A letter has also been found. Dated March 2, it has been issued by commander-in-chief, Western Orissa, N Chandrasekhar Reddy. Though it is silent on the name of the organisation.

However, the posters are written in black, a deviation from the usual red used by the Naxals. Sonepur SP Ajay Kumar Sarangi said investigation is on.
