Decision taken by the Maoist central leadership has already been conveyed to the Jungle Mahal Maoists in a recent meeting held at Gotshila forests in Jharkhand. The meeting was attended by the Maoist state secretary of West Bengal Asim Mandal alias Akash, Kishanji's brother Venugopal, who is working in Jungle Mahal since July this year, and Prasanta Bose alias Kishanda. The meeting, which held on December 5 and 6, was also attended by some key Maoist leaders from West Bengal.
