Times of India reports that a top ranking Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist) cadre wanted in a dozen cases was arrested from the Sonahatu Police Station area in Ranchi District along with 25 kilograms of explosive gel in the evening of March 26.

Times of India reports that Superintendent of Police (SP) Viresh Prabhu confirmed the death of a top Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist) leader Nagesh alias Shankar Tukka Pungati (38), ‘commander-in-chief’ of North Gadchiroli-Gondia division, along with two other Maoist cadres on the basis of Maoists pamphlets recovered from Malewada Village in Kurkheda Taluk (administrative division) in Gadchiroli District on May 9. Nagesh was killed along with two other Maoist cadres in a fierce encounter in the forests of Khobramendha near Malewada village under Wadsa division of Gadchiroli District in the afternoon of April 19. The two other slain Maoists were ‘platoon party member’ Manglu (17) and PLGA member Manju (17). While Manglu belonged to Bastar area in Chhattisgarh, Manju hailed from Pipli (Burgi) village in Etapalli tehsil (administrative division) of Aheri sub-division of the District. "Nagesh was mastermind of several attacks on security forces. The death of two juvenile Naxalites proves that Naxals are enticing the juvenile youths to join the movement," the SP added. Nagesh had clubbed four different Maoists dalams (squad) and had laid ambush on a patrolling party of Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF) in the hilly terrain of Khobramendha jungles on April 19. However, pamphlets of Maharashtra State Committee of Maoists recovered from Malewada a couple of days back claimed that three Maoists including Nagesh were killed in the Khobramendha encounter. "We will avenge each drop of our comrades by spoiling Operation Green Hunt," the pamphlet added.

This is a cowardly act,” the SP said, adding “Police action will continue,” adds Telegraph. The trucks laden with food grains were on its way to Palamu from Uttar Pradesh and Bihar.

A day after West Bengal Chief Minister (CM) Mamata Banerjee invited Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist) to talk, Maoists said that CM Banerjee would first have to create a congenial atmosphere for dialogue, reports Times of India. "If Mamata is serious about talks, she will have to create a congenial atmosphere and instil confidence among Maoists so that they can come forward to talk," Maoist sympathiser and poet Varavara Rao told PTI. He said that to create confidence among Maoists, the State Government would first have to withdraw the joint forces engaged in anti-Maoist operations in Junglemahal, lift the Unlawful Activities (Prevent) Act, and release all political prisoners from jail. "The Government should release Maoist Central Committee members like Sushil Roy and Pati Paban Halder -- a demand which has repeatedly been made by Kishenji (Mallojula Koteswar Rao) and Azad [Cherukuri Rajkumar], who was treacherously killed," Rao said. Citing the example of Andhra Pradesh which in 2004 withdrew the elite Grey Hound Forces before inviting Maoists for talks, Rao said, "If the West Bengal Government is keen to solve the Maoist problem, it will have to take some positive steps."
