The official noted that tribal people want to live a peaceful life though the Maoist party leadership was trying to attract tribals towards them in the name of their party ideology. Villagers should inform police if they know the information about the Maoists, he said.

The phone numbers on the door stickers could be contacted without fearing the Maoists and a suitable reward would be given to the informants, the ASP said. Dummugudem CI Ramesh, SIs Narsi Reddy and Keshava Rao were present.
