The banner was sighted at the gate of Nilabadi panchayat office in the name of Koraput-Srikakulam division of CPI (Maoist). The poster also threatened to kill the elected representatives to stop the projects undertaken by panchayat. The banner read that Asish Senapati, the son of ward member is into liquor business that is ruining the life of innocent tribal. Being aware of his business, the sarpanch has awarded him various project works and so if he does not withdraw himself from the works, he would be eliminated. The villagers were also demanded to strongly oppose the selling of liquor in the region.
