Visakhapatnam, Dec 13, 2012:
Special battalions will take a temporary break from their anti –naxal operations
to guard the Chief Minister, Mr N Kiran Kumar Reddy when he visits Vizag Agency
tracts as part of his proposed 3 day Indiramma Baata programme in the district from
Dec 17.
The Chief Minister will spend a night in Paderu, a Maoist infested
area and to ensure his safety around 1,500 Greyhound and special party police
personnel will be deployed along the ghat road from Chodavaram, Narasipatnam to
Paderu.
After cancelling the programme more than four times in the
last minute, Kiran Kumar Reddy’s Indiramma Baata had been tentatively finalised
on Tuesday and a review meeting on the arrangements for the programme was held
on Thursday.
“Since the Chief Minister will be spending a night in
Paderu, which is a Maoist dominated area, we can’t take any chances. An
additional 500 trained personnel will be drawn from other battalions in the
neighbouring districts,” said a district police official.
This Indiramma Baata is being held after the historic SC/ST
Sub Plan Bill 2012 was passed in the state Assembly and with the Chief Minister
attending more programmes in tribal areas, local officials and MLAs are trying
their best to make it a grand success.
During his three-day programme, Kiran Kumar Reddy will
interact with women members of various SHGs, fishermen, cycle with youngsters,
play various games with tribal children and lay foundation stones for various
development works, said sources.
