A document seized by Gadchiroli Police of Maharashtra, during recent operation (date unspecified) against Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist) suggests that the Maoists have no plans to shift their base from the forested and hilly Abujhmadh region close toMaharashtra-Chhattisgarh border, reports The Times of India on March 7. As per the report, the seized document stated, ‘last blood would be shed at Abujhmadh’ implying the Maoists’ wish to make their last stand in the region. Further, the Maoist document, also puts to rest on speculation regarding developing forested terrains of Amarkantak in Madhya Pradesh as their alternative base after repeated strikes on Abujhmadh by Security Forces (SFs) of Chhattisgarh and Maharashtra. It is also learnt three platoons of Vistar Dalam (armed squad) were operating from Amarkantak forests from where their top brass can control movements in Madhya Pradesh, especially in Balaghat region where they enjoyed domination in the past. Maharashtra and Chhattisgarh are also accessible from Amarkantak. Abujhmadh has been fortress of the Maoists from where ‘Central Committee (CC)’ members manage the rebel movement under the CPI-Maoist. The apex body members meet their various formations, plan, strategize and also holds plenum here, according to the documents seized from them. The place is also known to have a arms factory, printing press and medical facilities surrounded by minefields. Gadchiroli, Superintendent of Police (SP), Shailesh Balkawade, said “Abujhmadh occupies a place of pride among Maoists which is unlikely to get replaced going by the documents we have seized.”
