Based on the orders from District Superintendent of Police, Sujiith Kumar, patrolling, checking of vehicles and combing operations have been enhanced in Maoist-prone areas, especially near Anaikatti.

As Maoists have been using the tribal people to source their essentials and supplies, special teams have been formed to educate and create awareness among the tribals to report Maoists movement to the anti-naxal squad. The tribals are also provided with phone numbers of officials to whom they can report the information.

Awareness meets for tribals living in Thondamuthur, Singapathi, Sadivayalpathi, Vellapathi, Kalkuthippathi, Pottappathi and Mangarai were held today.
