The Police have coined a new slogan ‘Samacharam Maku… Bahumathi Meeku’ (Give us informatio­n about Maoists and take huge cash as a reward).

The police have offered `5 lakh in cash as a reward for informatio­n unlike political leaders who offer money for votes during the elections.

In the posters, the police officials have appealed to the general people to give informatio­n about Naxalites working in the guise of a peoples’ movement.

The Police of North Telangana districts have openly offered huge cash rewards for providing informatio­n about the movements of Maoists unlike political leaders seeking votes in view of the elections.

The police released Karimnagar districts.

The police have begun doing this following the informatio­n that some members of the action team have slipped into districts.

Police personnel suspect that action team members have entered into forest areas and may attack political leaders and contesting candidates to make their presence felt. The police also suspect that some Maoist action team members had entered the forests of north Telangana districts from bordering Chhattisga­rh. They have alerted the political leaders and contesting candidates.

The photograph­s of 12 action team members have been printed on the wall posters released by the police and the phone numbers of police personnel of various ranks working under the Ramagundam police commission­erate have also been given. The same posters were also released in the Kumaram Bheem Asifabad district.

The police said they would keep the details of the person who gives informatio­n about the Maoists confidenti­al.

Among the action team members are, Kankanala Raji Reddy of Kalva Srirampur mandal in Karimnagar district, Milaralu Adellu Bhaskar of Boath mandal in Adilabad district while some are from Chhattisga­rh.
