As it was the time of Mahua flowers blossoming villagers were gathering near the fields to pick the flowers. They were panicked with bombing and firing from the sky, Samata said.

During his visit to Karanpur camp near Jagdalpur and to Pottong camp near Kishtaram on March 25, Shah had insisted on eradicating the Maoist party. He motivated the police and paramilitary forces officers to eliminate the Maoists.

Since then attacks on people have been going on, Samata said.
