Hindustan Times reports that the ruling CPI-M in West Bengal has organised a Salwa Judum-type anti-Maoist civilian force. A CPI-M supported private militia has already started operating in Bankura District without a formal name. CPI-M Bankura District secretary Amiya Patra said, "So far, 15 villages have formed such forces. We're encouraging the villagers." The force — comprising about 30 people at each village — will carry out night vigils to stop the Maoists from entering villages. "Every night we spread around the village and ensure that strangers don't get to enter. We also stop villagers from helping the Maoists," said a member of the force. Even though the force's job is to stop strangers, some outsiders have been noticed visiting them regularly to train them in vigilance and intelligence work.
