Almora – Anonymous posters claiming “Maoist terror” have appeared at several public locations in Almora, prompting police to launch an investigation. The posters surfaced at places including Gandhi Park and near the KMO bus stand area, creating concern among residents and officials.
The content of the posters alleges targeting of certain households, surveillance of men and women, and misconduct involving women. It also claims involvement of employees from certain government departments. However, the posters do not provide specific details such as dates, locations, evidence or identifiable incidents to substantiate the allegations.
The document has been issued without any disclosed author, ending only with the phrase “a social, responsible citizen.” The lack of verifiable information and anonymity has raised serious questions about its credibility. Officials said such unverified claims, if circulated widely, could disturb public order and create unnecessary panic.
Police and administrative authorities have intensified monitoring in sensitive areas. According to official sources, an inquiry has been initiated to trace the origin and intent behind the posters. Citizens have been urged not to believe or circulate unverified information and to immediately report any suspicious activity to the police.
