Maoists fell down trees and blockade roads in agency area

Visakhapatnam,Nov 2: Maoists on Monday  felled trees, on the ghat roads of  Rajnagaram  and  Paderu disrupting  the vehicular traffic in the agency area of Vishakapatnam district.Resenting  the  measures  taken  by the Government   in deploying  special paramilitary  forces to eradicate  the  Maoists in  these areas ,the rebel  Maoists   resorted to this type of action.According to the police sources,  some  of the workers engaged in the  operation  of removing the  logs  from the  roads are not willing  to come forward fearing serious repercussions from   the Maoist forces. The   ghat   road  connecting  Paderu  and Vishakapatnam  is very important for  the  local  tribals. That is  the  only highway  through which  they can reach  the district   headquarters of  Vishakaptnam. 

As a result of this road blockade  scores of villages remain cut off   from the state.It is  the  interior  parts of  the tribal areas which are  hit  by this episode as   the   sick people  living  in the  interior regions   cannot even  reach  the  nearest  Primary Health  Centre  to  get  first aid  treatment in case of   any serious aliment to  the  locals.However  efforts are  on  to  restore the vehicular traffic on this high way. As  a precautionary  measure the Andhra Pradesh State Road Transport Corporation  has cancelled its  regular operations in these areas.Of  late  the  Maoists  have  resumed  their  operations in the state  making their presence  felt. Whatever  their mode of operations  may  be,  the  Maoists  will further lose  the sympathy  from   the  public  if  they resort such  type of   tactics  as felling  down  green  trees.In other words  the Maoists action  can be termed as destroying the nature  instead of guarding  the nature.
