Times of India reports that a local leader and two activists of the ruling Communist Party of India-Marxist (CPI-M) were killed by the Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist) cadres at Banksole in the Jhargram area of West Midnapore District, about 20 kilometres from Lalgarh area on June 17. The six motorcycle-borne assailants killed the three persons, including CPI-M’s Shimli branch secretary Amal Mahato, when they were having tea at a shop after patrolling the forest in the night to guard against Maoist-backed tribal agitators. The three were part of a village resistance group approved by the administration to assist the Police, Jhargram Sub-Divisional Officer Ulganathan said. The Hindu adds that three houses belonging to the CPI-M leaders were ransacked and set ablaze in areas adjoining Lalgarh, parts of which have been rendered inaccessible with roads dug up by activists of the Maoist-backed People’s Committee against Police Atrocities (PCPA) to prevent the entry of Central Paramilitary Forces being deployed in the region.

Times of India reports that life in tribal villages in 18 Police Stations across the three districts of West Midnapore, Bankura and Purulia came to a standstill on August 18 due to the shutdown call given by the People's Committee against Police Atrocities (PCPA), a Maoist-backed organisation. The shutdown was also successful in Lalgarh, Belpahari and Kantapahari. Local traders reportedly downed shutters despite the presence of Security Forces and schools were also closed. The PCPA started the indefinite shutdown with low-intensity blasts at Kantapahari and Narcha in West Midnapore, close to Police camps. Around 9pm (IST), the Maoists also set ablaze six trucks that had defied the strike and were plying on the Jhargram-Silda road.

The Hindu reports that the military wing of the Maoist-backed People's Committee against Police Atrocity (PCPA) - Sidhu Kanu Gana Militia - vandalised property belonging to the State Government in two separate incidents in West Midnapore District late on October 29 and October 30. A group of armed men attacked the Silda Range Office in the Binpur block late on October 29 and ransacked and set ablaze six buildings. The group assaulted the officer-in-charge and looted money. It left behind posters demanding the unconditional release of PCPA convener Chhatradhar Mahato and other leaders of the outfit. In another incident on October 30, a group ransacked the Panchayat (village level local self government institution) office at Makli in the Goaltore area and later set it ablaze. Superintendent of Police Manoj Kumar Verma said the PCPA was behind both attacks and that they were being investigated. "The Police had been claiming that the PCPA is an offshoot of the Maoists and was involved in all kinds of violent activities. But only after they launched the so-called armed wing was it proved that there is no difference between the Maoists and the PCPA supporters," Verma said.

The Hindu reports that the 72-hour bandh (shutdown) called by the Maoist-backed People’s Committee against Police Atrocities (PCPA) in the Jhargram sub-division of West Midnapore District began on November 12, with its supporters setting a pick-up van afire at Sapdhara near Jhargram. Police sources said one villager suffered a bullet injury in a fierce gunfight between the Security Forces (SFs) and cadres of the Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist) at Bakshi in the Kotwali area of the Lalgarh region. The bandh was called to protest against the alleged highhandedness of the SFs towards PCPA supporters at a rally staged in front of the office of Jhargram’s Sub-Divisional Officer. Protesters set ablaze the van early in the day and left posters demanding withdrawal of the central SFs from the region and an immediate release of all PCPA leaders, including its chief Chhatradhar Mahato. The Sub-Divisional Officer, P. Ulganathan, said the sub-division witnessed a “complete shutdown, though there was no incident other than the torching of the van.”

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.
