A sense of fear has gripped the far-flung areas in Dummugudem mandal bordering Chhattisgarh following the spurt in Maoist violence in the strife-ridden Sukma district of the neighbouring State.
The incident in which Maoists allegedly killed a CRPF constable and injured another jawan in an ambush on a CRPF team at Maraiguda in Chhattisgarh on Sunday night triggered fear in the remote villages in Dummugudem mandal along the volatile Telangana-Chhattisgarh border.
The Bhadrachalam sub-division police stepped up vigil in interior villages including Kothapalli, Cherupalli and Ramachandrunipeta in Dummugudem mandal on Monday in the aftermath of the stepped up violence by the rebels in the trouble-torn areas of neighbouring Chhattisgarh.
Meanwhile, the CRPF constable Sudheer, who sustained an ankle injury in the ambush by the rebels in Sukma district on Sunday night, is recovering at the government area hospital in Bhadrachalam. His condition was stated to be out of danger. He was brought to the hospital on Sunday night.
A post-mortem was performed on the body of CRPF jawan Ashok Kumar, who was killed in the same incident in Chhattisgarh, at the government hospital in Bhadrachalam on Monday. His body was sent to his native place in Rajasthan later in the day.
