Maoists have put up a banner on road nearby freshly threatening people not to spy for police or local political representatives.
According to police, members of the CPI (Maoist) Partapur area committee held a 'people's court' on at Binagunda village in Chhotebethiya region. During the gathering, they accused 30-year-old tribal villager Manesh Nureti of passing information to security forces and killed him in front of locals.

The banners named several individuals, including panchayat sarpanch and locals alleging that they were working in collaboration with police. Maoists also named prominent cops and DRG personnel of recruiting villagers as covert operatives.

30 camera traps installed in Bonai forest division to capture ‘tiger' presence
1 2 Rourkela: Following reports of a possible tiger's presence in Sundargarh, wildlife officials have strategically installed 30 camera traps at Jarda and Sole forest ranges in the district's Bonai forest division. "Given the animal's movement pattern, we anticipate its entry into the adjacent Bonai forest division in the district," Lalit Kumar Patra, divisional forest officer of Bonai forest division, said on Wednesday. Last week, pugmarks were spotted near Ujalpur forest range in Sundargarh forest division, prompting wildlife officials to initiate a thorough investigation, suspecting the presence of a tiger in the vicinity. Earlier, Chhattisgarh forest department had alerted its counterparts in Odisha about a suspected tiger's presence at Lephripada in Sundargarh forest division, which had possibly come from Gomarda wildlife sanctuary in Raigarh. It was speculated that the tiger might have moved to Athkosia reserve forest in Ujalpur forest range. In response, the wildlife wing issued an advisory to the Sundargarh forest division, urging the installation of camera traps at various locations to monitor the suspected big cat. Camera traps were subsequently set up in Lephripada range and Athkosia reserve forest, with an alert issued to locals. Residents were advised to avoid entering the forest and refrain from leaving their cattle and goats unattended. Forest officials have intensified patrolling efforts in Lephripada and Ujalpur forest ranges. The tiger's presence was further suspected when pugmarks were spotted in Sadar forest range on Aug 15, following an attack on a cow. Despite the installation of camera traps and increased patrolling by forest officials in Sadar and Bamra forest divisions, the animal could not be captured on camera. Reports suggest that the animal then moved to Bagdih forest range in Jharsuguda forest division. The suspected tiger reportedly travelled 150km in five days, reaching the Kholbilung section under Bamra forest division in Sambalpur district. Pugmarks near a pond in Kholbilung village confirmed the presence of a Royal Bengal tiger. Though camera traps were installed in strategic locations, the tiger is yet to be captured on film.

Job scam: Court asks mantri to surrender on Sept 12
Kolkata: A special PMLA court on Wednesday directed state minister Chandranath Sinha to surrender in court on Sept 12, in connection with the teacher recruitment scam. Charges against the minister are likely to be framed on the same date. It also asked ED to issue a summons to Sinha within the next 15 days. The ED supplementary charge sheet filed against Sinha mentioned two bank accounts in Bolpur belonging to him, and transactions worth around Rs 15 crore. Investigators have reasons to believe that the amount might be linked to the recruitment scam, especially after Sinha's name was found in the diary of another accused, Kuntal Ghosh. ED sources said that an amount was written beside his name. The ED earlier conducted multiple raids at his residence, during which approximately Rs 41 lakh was seized.
