Munger: Maoist posters calling for boycott of the coming Bihar Assembly polls were recovered from various parts of the district on Wednesday despite deployment of heavy security personnel to instill confidence in the people.
"The posters were recovered from public places and state-owned buildings in Maoist-affected Haveli Kharagpur and Dharhara police station areas," Superintendent of Police M Sunil Naik said.
Around 7.74 lakh people will exercise their franchise at 795 polling stations, including 161 sensitive ones, in the Maoist-hit constituencies of Tarapur, Munger and Jamalpur in the fourth phase on November 1, he said.
Parallel phoneline tracking machines and Google earth web application came handy to keep a watch on the Maoist movement in the forests and hilly areas in the district.
Munger assembly segment had recorded only 31 per cent polling in the 2005 assembly polls, official sources said.
"We have intensified campaign for increasing voter turnout this time," the sources said.
