NALGONDA, DEC.28. As many as 1,233 naxalites belonging to the outlawed People's War are being considered hardcore by the State Government. And, they all together are carrying Rs.11,17,05,000 on their heads.

The Home Department prepared afresh the district-wise list of the naxals, who are carrying awards, based on the inputs received from the Police and Intelligence Departments.

According to the list, nine members of the PW are carrying Rs.12 lakhs on their heads. They included Katakam Sudershan alias Anand alias Mohan, Malla Raji Reddy alias Sathenna alias Sayanna alias Mesalanna, Mallojula Koteswara Rao alias Prahlad alias Murali alias Ramji alias Sridhar, Mallojula Venugopal alias Vivek alias Bhupathi, Muppala Laxman Rao alias Ganapathi alias Ramanna alias Srinivas, Sande Rajamouli alias Prasad alias Yadanna, Cherukuri Raja Kumar alias Uday alias Madhav, Nambala Keshava Rao alias Ganganna alias Basava Raju and Akkiraju Haragopal alias Gopal alias Panthulu, all members of the Central Committee.

Hussein alias Sudhakar alias Shankar of North Telangana Special Zone Committee and Mula Devender Reddy alias Sanjeev alias Deoji alias Nandu alias Madhavnna of Dandakaranya Special Zone Committee.
