Malkangiri: Following killings of many civilians allegedly by Maoists, posters opposing left-wing extremists’ activities have surfaced today at different places in Swabhiman Anchal of Malkangiri district in Odisha.

The anti-Maoist posters were said to have been put up on the walls by some group members in cut-off areas of the Naxal-affected district.

In the posters, the members of an anti-rebel group have opposed the killings of innocent villagers as well as physical assaults on suspicion of police informers.
