Maoists call upon people to observe I-Day as Black Day  

Rayagada: Maoist posters appealing people to observe August 15 as Black Day were found at various places in Kalyansinghpur area of Rayagada district today.

In the posters reportedly issued by the CPI (M) , the red rebels have mentioned that though it’s been 72 years since the nation got its independence, many people are still deprived of basic facilities even today. Hence, they will observe August 15 as Black Day, the posters read.

Besides, the posters also claimed that CRPF jawans install bombs in Ambaguda area and later deactivate the same in order to defame Maoist bodies.

Meanwhile, the Odisha police have tightened security arrangements in all districts, especially in Maoist-hit areas to avoid any unpleasant situation on Independence Day tomorrow.
