The People’s Committee against Police Atrocities (PCAPA) has called for a 120-hour bandh (general shut down) in the West Midnapore, Bankura and Purulia from Decemebr 1 (today) demanding an end to police patrolling for two weeks. The PCAPA spokesperson Asit Mahato said the Central-state joint forces should stop patrolling for two weeks so that the farmers and locals could harvest their crops. The PCAPA also requested the Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist) cadres not to attack the Police for the next two weeks to improve the prevailing situation. According to Mahato, they requested Home Secretary Ardhendu Sen through media a few days ago to withdraw Police patrolling for the next two weeks. The PCAPA had fixed November 30-evening as the deadline for Sen to respond but he did not. Mahato said this is the time for harvesting and farmers store crops for next four-five months. The Central-state joint forces, he alleged, often arrest farmers from paddy fields and many are injured in the cross-fire between Security Forces and the Maoists. According to Mahato, the PCAPA has formally requested the Maoists restrain themselves for the next 15 days but there was no assurance from the latter. N S Nigam, the District Magistrate of West Midnapore said the PCAPA had not informed him on their bandh to be observed from tomorrow.

Cadres of the People’s Committee against Police Atrocities (PCPA) set ablaze two goods-loaded trucks on fire on National Highway 6, for violating the bandh (shut down) called by them in three Districts of West Midnapore, Purulia and Bankura, reports Indian Express. The truck was heading towards Kharagpur. Another truck was burnt on State highway 9 near Salboni by the PCAPA supporters. The truck was heading towards Jhargram from Lodhashuli. Asit Mahato, convener of PCPA, said: “The trucks were set on fire as they did not comply with the will of the people by going against the bandh call.” The bandh had been called to protest against the police firing on PCPA supporters at Satpati near Lalgarh on Thursday [December 10] night, in which one PCPA activist was killed. A senior Police officer, meanwhile, said a mine had been recovered from Dharampur near Lalgarh.

The situation in the Lalgarh region of West Midnapore District, it is feared, could take a bad turn from December 18 with the People’s Committee against Police Atrocities (PCPA) threatening to launch an indefinite violent movement. The PCPA leadership has issued a 24-hour-deadline to the Police for producing in court two of their supporters who were allegedly detained earlier this month, failing which they would be “forced to begin a violent movement in the three Districts of West Midnapore, Bankura and Purulia.” The PCPA supporters, Raju Adak and Joydeb Bera, were allegedly picked up by the Lalgarh Police late on December 6 and could not be traced by their family members since. “We fear that both the men have been killed in police custody. Though the inspector-in-charge of the Lalgarh thana has assured us to produce them in court on December 24, we are not convinced,” Asit Mahato, spokesperson of the PCPA told The Hindu over telephone on December 16. Mahato added: “We demand their production in court within the next 24 hours. If they fail to do so, the PSBJC supporters will set ablaze any vehicle that plies in the three districts from December 18. We will have no alternative.” The Superintendent of Police (SP) Manoj Kumar Verma, however, said that the two persons were not in Police custody. “They were not picked up by the police in the first place. I have spoken to the inspector-in-charge of Lalgarh thana and he said that the police have not promised any production date…maybe this is one of the tactics adopted by the Maoists in order to create unrest,” Verma alleged.

Telegraph reports that two suspected Maoists were shot dead by the Security Forces near Jhargram during a gun battle that injured at least seven villagers caught in the crossfire. The Police identified the slain duo as Santu Mahato, 26, and Kajol Mahato, 22. The People’s Committee against Police Atrocities, meanwhile, said they were its leaders, “killed when the police fired indiscriminately at villagers”. Santu’s body has been retrieved but Kajol’s was lying deeper in the Boira forest. During a patrol along a State Highway that connects Kharagpur with Jhargram, the joint forces learnt that mines had been planted near Boira. Two companies (around 200 personnel) went there with a bomb squad and defused two improvised devices at around 3pm (IST). 15 minutes after the force had picked up two men on suspicion that they may have planted the mines, 500 villagers surrounded them protesting arrests. The Maoists opened fire from an adjoining forest, a Police official said, adding, “The Maoists tried to put the villagers in the line of fire. Shots rang out as we started lobbing tear-gas shells to drive the villagers away.” The encounter on the fringes of Boira forest, 12 kilometres from Jhargram town, started around 3.30pm and continued till 9pm.

The Hindu reports that cadres of the Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist)-backed People’s Committee against Police Atrocities (PCPA) ransacked and set ablaze the houses of two Communist Party of India-Marxist (CPI-Marxist) leaders at Dahijuri village in the West Midnapore District in the evening of December 21. According to Police, a large group of PCPA cadres and several armed Maoists attacked the house of Amiyo Sengupta, a member of the CPI-M’s district committee, at Dahijuri. Though Sengupta was not at home at the time, his wife, three daughters and grand-daughter were present. The extremists ransacked the house and later set it on fire. Unable to get out of the house, the women took refuge on the roof of the three-storied-building to escape the fire raging on the ground floor. The Police said the extremists also attacked the neighbouring house of local CPI-Marxist leader Avijit Singha and set it ablaze. The family, however, managed to flee.

The Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist) have given a 24-hour bandh call in five states on January 2 alleging that Communist Party of India-Marxist activist on December 26 fired at a Christmas tribal fair near Lalgarh in West Midnapore District, reports Times of India.

He claimed that two persons were killed and four others were injured in the firing at the fair. District Magistrate, Narayan Swarup Nigam confirmed the firing, but it was yet to be ascertained, if there was any casualty. He said that four hardcore Maoists were arrested in this connection.

The indefinite blockade called by the PCPA in the three Districts of Bankura, Purulia and West Midnapore entered the 11th day on December 28, while the outfit also called a 48-hour-bandh in the three Districts from December 28 in protest against alleged Police excesses during combing operations. The blockades and bandhs have taken a toll on normal life in the areas adjacent to the forests in the three Districts even as it had little impact on the urban areas. Vehicular movement on a stretch of the National Highway 6 and State Highway 9, between Midnapore town and Jhargram, has virtually stopped following the setting ablaze of four vehicles in the first two days of the indefinite blockade. This had seriously impacted the supply of essential commodities.

We can resume it any moment if the security forces harass the people again.”
