Karkala, Jun 26: In the early hours on Thursday, June 25, a gang comprising of two men and two women arrived at Andar in the taluk and returned after being there for nearly two hours. The gang had come at about 2 am.

On Thursday morning, people found hoisted banners and pasted pamphlets in the town. The anti-naxal force policemen rushed to the spot on Thursday morning and removed them. It may be recalled, that the naxals had put up banners in Andar on May 10 last year, urging people to boycott the assembly elections. On July 30 the same year, they had distributed pamphlets, justifying their action in killing Suresh Shetty from Nadpal village.

The naxals this time, have given vent to their anger against the male employers who treat women workers as bonded labourers. They have also spewed venom at the owners of cashew factories. The naxal graffiti had also appeared on some walls in Mallar, Mala village in the taluk two weeks ago.
