Telegraph adds that the CPI-Maoist has called for a two-day bandh (shutdown), beginning from the midnight of August 23, in the States of Jharkhand, Bihar, Bengal, Orissa and Chhattisgarh to protest against the arrest of its politburo member Anil and central committee member Kartik.

However, denying the arrest of the extremists, the Director General of Police (Jharkhand) V.D. Ram said, “This is not the first time we are facing a meaningless bandh. We will take all precautions taken during rebel-sponsored bandhs. If we had such a big breakthrough, we would have informed everyone.” Meanwhile, security has been put on high alert in the State.

The Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist) on August 25 called off the 48-hour bandh (shut down) in five States - Jharkhand, Orissa, Bihar, West Bengal and Chhattisgarh. In a press statement issued through short message service, Maoist politburo member Kishanji stated that the indefinite bandh was called off after Anilji and Kartik were produced in a court at Ranchi, Capital of Jharkhand, by the Jharkhand Police on August 25, The Hindu reported. Times of India quoted Kishanji as saying, “We had called the bandh to force the police (Jharkhand) to admit that they had arrested two of our comrades and produce them in Ranchi court before 5pm on Tuesday. Since they produced them an hour before 5pm, we are calling off the strike.’’ A 48-hour bandh was called on August 24 in these five States as Kishanji had claimed that Purnendu Mukherjee alias Anilji, politburo member of the CPI-Maoist, and Kartik, a central committee member, were arrested from near the Patna (capital of Bihar) junction while boarding a train on August 18, but were not produced in court. It was also declared that it would continue indefinitely in Bihar and Jharkhand until the arrested Maoists were produced in court.

According to Telegraph, Mangal Soren, a supporter of the ruling Communist Party of India-Marxist (CPI-M), who had been trying to mobilise public opinion against a bandh (shutdown) backed by the Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist) was killed in the Binpur area of West Midnapore District on August 28. Mangal Soren was tilling his land when five assailants on motorcycles called him and shot him from close and later As Mangal slumped to the ground, they hacked him. An axe flew out of the hand of one of the attackers and hit another farmer at a distance. Sital Hembram, who survived the blow on his back, told villagers he saw a familiar face among the five and the residents of Ergoda village set out for the house of Chandan Mahato, a Jharkhand Party (Naren) supporter in neighbouring Guiara village. In Chandan’s absence, the mob dragged out his 63-year old father Biren Mahato and hacked him with daggers and also shot him. “We think Mangal’s murder was the handiwork of Maoists. We are probing whether any political party was involved,” said District Superintendent of Police Manoj Verma.

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.”

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.

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.
