Kundapur, Apr 20: After a long hiatus, the Naxalites have once again hit the news headlines in their own manner. The Naxalites who had gone on sabbatical after blasting the guest house belonging to the forest department in the Karkala area, have once again started visiting the villages to muster support from the people for the Naxalite movement.

A group of about 12 armed Naxalites was spotted first in the Bhagimane and Amavasyebail areas recently.  Even before, the locals could forget this, they were once again spotted in the Yedamoge village. 

In Yedamoge they met the daily wage workers at Basavanpal and tried to ignite the spark of protest against the administration for denying the villagers the basic amenities such as drinking water and electricity.

There were 9 young men and 3 women in the group.  Among these 3-4 of them do not know Kannada which indicates that Naxals from the neighbouring state too are active in the area.  The villages said that the Naxals told them about the killing of one of their female comrade in Chattisgadh recently.  They also told the villagers that the said female comrade was their companion a few months ago.
