Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist) called upon its cadres to repeat Dantewada like attack (in which 75 Central Reserve Police Force personnel were killed in Chhattisgarh in April 2010) as a counter offensive to the Operation Green Hunt taken up by the UPA Government to crush the Maoist movement in the Dandakaranya region. A report signed by spokesperson Abhay and released on October 4, said the Maoists had lost 1500 of their comrades after the formation of the party and 300 in the last one year. In all, 10,000 people died in the Naxal movement in the country, the report said. It stated that there was a qualitative change in counter-intelligence activities after UPA came to power for the second time. The party said the "War on People" in Andhra-Orissa, Telangana-Chattisgarh, Jharkhand-Orissa, Jharkhand-Bihar and Dandakaranya regions was influenced by the "War on Terror" unleashed by the US." The report also noted that though the movement had suffered some setbacks in Andhra Pradesh and north Chhattisgarh and north Orissa, it had many successes which compensated the loss and gave a boost to the self confidence of the cadres. According to the note, eight top most leaders, including Azad, were killed between May 2009 and June 2010 and another 10 state-level leaders were either killed or were put behind bars. The party listed the attacks of Singanamadugu, Tadimetla, Kongera (Chhattisgarh), Laheri (Maharashtra), Sankrail and Silda (Bengal), Gumla, Vishnupur, Latehar (Jharkhand) Tandwa Bazar (Bihar) as successful attacks and said all these incidents won the party the support of the revolutionary forces, intellectuals, democrats, progressive and patriotic forces.

Indian Express reports that the Police and local administrations of Birbhum, Nadia and Murshidabad Districts submitted a report to the State Home Department requesting that some Police Stations in their Districts should be brought under the ambit of Left Wing Extremism-affected area considering the increased activities of the Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist) there. According to the reports submitted by the State Police to State home department, eight Police Stations in Nadia, six Police Stations in Birbhum and three Police Stations in Murshidabad Districts have seen increased Maoist activities in recent months. Police sources said Dubrajpur and Khairashol Police Stations in Birbhum District, which have been mentioned as Maoist-affected areas, had always been a safe haven for the Maoists. “Several senior Maoists leaders, including Kalpana Ruidas, were arrested from the area,” said a senior Police officer. The report further states that the Maoists have formed a regional committee in Nadia and an area committee in Jalangi. There are over 30 members in the area committee. “The Maoists started setting up their base in the area after forming an outfit called Mazdoor Krishak Sangram Samity, which works like a frontal organisation of the Maoists much akin to the People’s Committee against Police Atrocities (PCPA) in West Midnapore,” said a senior Police officer. “As per the information we have gathered till now, the area committee is led by Prasanta Das alias Raja, a resident of Kotwali,” the officer added. “Das is the key person in the area who is strengthening the cadre’s base in Murshidabad and Nadia Districts. They have started spreading their influence in the colleges of the District,” the officer said.

Restrictions on the running of passenger trains at night in the Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist)-affected areas of West Bengal would continue till the State Government provided proper security, Union Railway Minister Mamata Banerjee said on October 18.

Banerjee said that Security has to be provided by the State Government. The Railways had decided to halt running of passenger trains at night in certain sections following the Jnaneswari Express derailment on May 28, 2010 which was suspected to be an act of sabotage by the Maoists.

He was a part of the Maoist group that killed 14 Policemen at Saranda forest in Jharkhand in December 2003.

Hailing from Kesmar village in Belpahari Police Station of West Midnapore District, Sardar has nine murder cases pending against him in the District alone. Sardar had joined the People’s Liberation Guerrilla Army (PLGA) around 12 years ago. Later, he switched over to the CPI-Maoist as a senior member of the squad headed by Madan Mahato that operates in the West Bengal-Jharkhand border areas. He was subsequently put in charge of the Belpahari and Barikul areas. A single-shotter gun, 3 cartridges, a 50-foot-long wire, detonators and Maoist posters were recovered from him, adds Times of India.
