KORAPUT, MAY 10: Panic gripped Chitrakonda area on Wednesday in Odisha’s Malkangiri district after posters by Maoists surfaced at Tinikonia Chhak.
The hand written posters on pieces of red cloth urged the locals to celebrate the 200th birth anniversary of revolutionary socialist Karl Marx.
The posters bearing the name of Kalimela Regional Committee of outlawed CPI (Maoist) asked the people of Chitrakonda to follow the philosophy of Marx to solve various problems in the society.
