Leaders of CPI-Maoists are making arrangements to observe Martyr’s Week from July 28 to August 3, in a big way. The banned Naxal outfit will organise the martyr’s memorial week in all Maoist-affected States, including Chhattisgarh, Telangana, Andhra Pradesh, Maharashtra, Odisha and Jharkhand. Similarly, Naxalites were holding meetings with the sympathisers in Telangana, Odisha, Maharashtra and other States to make the Martyrs’ Week, a success. Meanwhile, police are gearing up to tackle the situation in forests on AOB and AP-Telangana and other State borders in wake of the Martyrs’ Week. “Maoists may resort to violence during the period, and the Naxal-targets were asked not to go into villages without giving prior information to the local police.
