Police reach out with a comic strip series on change in Maharashtra’s Naxal-hit area
Gadchiroli Files, a comic strip series, is set to present the new, changing and pro-development face of Maharashtra’s Gadchiroli district. On the border with Telangana in the Vidarbha region of Maharashtra, Naxal-hit Gadchiroli is one of the most backward areas in India.
“We always wanted to send out a clean and clear message to the world outside that Gadchiroli is not only about Naxals and their activities. Yes, that is one of the problems, but we are overcoming it. People need to know about Gadchiroli. We thought of using the comic strip series to send out a positive message to the people within Gadchiroli, and also those outside,” said Ankit Goyal, Superintendent of Police, Gadchiroli.
