Maoists group, consisting of women, stage armed protest in Wayanad in broad daylight

MANANTHAVADY: Maoists staged an armed protest here around 1.30 pm. A group of the seven, including three women, carrying guns sloganeered in Kambamala in Thalapuzha here. They have reportedly spoken to the local residents and pasted posters at the junction.
