Prohibitory orders in Malkangiri

BERHAMPUR: The administration imposed prohibitory orders under Section 144 of the CrPC in Malkangiri town on Wednesday.
The administrative officials were compelled to impose these orders in this district headquarters town of naxal-hit Malkangiri to end a dharna by a group of elected members of panchayat bodies of the district. Some 80 elected local body members, including sarpanch, panchayat samity chairpersons and ZP members, had been on a dharna in front of the office of the Malkangiri Collector since Tuesday. The demonstrators demanded withdrawal of CRPF from Malkangiri district and humane measures to end naxal problem. It may be noted that Maoists were also demanding withdrawal of Central forces from naxal-hit areas.
