An anti-Maoist campaigner, who undersigns the anti-Maoist poster identifying himself as one "Bharat Bhusan", has warned the Maoists of dire consequences if they did not stop their "nefarious activities”. One of the posters read, “The Maoists have no soft corner for the tribals. Few anti-socials and mischief-mongers are creating disturbances in the area in the name of Maoists. They don't have any ideology and misguide the villagers". Through the posters, the campaigner has also accused the Maoists of killing innocent members of tribal communities and damaging roads and bridges."The Maoists should come up with the list of development works that they have done for the tribals. They are against development and want to keep the tribals underdeveloped for their own benefit. We are not afraid of the Maoists. Our campaign against them will continue till not they are wiped out from the district," the poster added."We are verifying the posters," said Malkangiri, Superintendent of Police (SP), Jagmohan Meena. Importantly, on August 12, the Maoists, through letters sent to media persons in Malkangiri District, had warned "Bharat Bhusan" of dire consequences for allegedly defaming them by putting up anti-rebel posters in the District.

Now, inadequate combing operations in the area have prompted the LWEs to make the area their hideout.However, regular surfacing of posters in Kalyansinghpur, Muniguda and Bissamcuttack Blocks protesting the alleged attempt by the Government to lease out the Niyamgiri Hills to a private company for bauxite mining has become a cause of concern for the District Police.
