PHULBANI (Orissa): Suspected Maoists put up posters and banners at several places in Orissa's communally sensitive district asking people to boycott Independence Day celebrations.
The posters bear messages asking people to observe a bandh from August 7 to 16.
Maoists posters were mostly seen in three blocks of Kotagarh, Daringbadi and Raikia in the district, the police said.
The bandh is believed to be observed in protest against the killing of Maoist leader Azad in an encounter.
They have allegedly threatened some teachers and school management to close their educational institutions and not to observe Independence Day celebration.
The ultras have also blocked the village road near Kahamguda village and five points near Gugurmaha, Ora and Marlang.
