In order to curb the Maoist menace in the Red Corridor, the State Government has decided to expedite the road works in these areas. The road would connect Vijaywada to Ranchi and pass through 12 Maoist-infested districts of the State. It would pass through nearly 1,200 km in the State.Chief Minister Naveen Patnaik on Monday laid the foundation stone for the work. He laid the foundation at Nakatideula near Rairkhol. In the first phase, the road would cover 29 km.
Speaking on the occasion Patnaik said the road would bring prosperity to the local people and would enable them to mingle with the developmental process.The Chief Minister took up this issue in 2006 with the Centre on constructing of a road that would pass through the Red Corridor. The road would be helpful for the easy movement of the police forces in the areas. However, the Maoists are dead against the construction of the roads.
