The arrested Naxal, Sukhram Punem (19), revealed during interrogation that they had prepared pamphlets and posters to spread their propaganda against government and urge people not to take part in polling, the officer said.
Punem was allegedly active as a member of Kurvish Militia Platoon since 2008-09 in the region, he added.
The officer also said that security forces were fully prepared to tackle Naxal threat during the polls.
“We are working on every measure to conduct the first phase of poll in 18 Naxal-affected constituencies of southern region on November 11 peacefully,” he added.
The rest of the 72 constituencies will go to polls in the second phase on November 19.
