MALKANGIRI: The Maoists have gone hi-tech this Martyr’s Week. This year, they reportedly showed video programme to tribal villagers highlighting ‘heroic’ deeds of cadres who lost their lives fighting the police. Sources said the rebels are depending upon audio-visuals to make villagers realise what Maoists are doing for their development and how government had failed to reach the poor.In some villages, the Maoists used projectors and mega screens to show video recordings of important Maoist incidents. If sources are to be believed, some leaders of central committee of Andhra-Orissa Border Special Zonal Committee of the outfit are overseeing the whole arrangements.During the last six days, the rebels unveiled hundreds of pylons in remote areas of Kalimela, Motu, Podia, cut-off regions of Chitrakonda, Khairput, Kudmulgumma, Govindpalli, Mathili and Korukonda. The Maoists have reportedly inducted more than 500 tribals into their fold during the week that saw vehicular traffic between Malkangiri and Jeypore being hit.Sources said in order to avoid being intercepted by police and intelligence agencies, Maoist cadres have begun communicating with high frequency (HF) radio waves which the security forces are finding hard to “tap”.Top security officials deployed to undertake anti-Maoist operations said an increasing number of ultras have started using the HF radio waves instead of Very High Frequency (VHF) waves, to escape the surveillance radars of intelligence units. The forces are now planning to use advanced interception equipment which can intrude the HF waves. “Maoists have been using cellular phones and VHF sets to communicate but recently we have found that they are now communicating through HF sets,” a cop said.
