The statement alleged that police forces at the behest of their officials and the government were killing revolutionary activists to earn rewards and awards.

Even after four months of agitation and sacrifice of life by 300 farmers no steps were taken to address demands of the farmers protesting against the three Farm Laws, the naxals alleged.

Tight police security on border areas

Meanwhile, the district police have intensified combing operations and inspections in the forests and on the borders of Chhattisgarh and Maharashstra in the wake of recent incidents of exchange of fire in those States. Tight security measures have been taken to prevent any possible Maoist violence in the district, the officials said.
