Hindustan Times reports that the cadres of the Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist) exploded three landmines and opened fire at joint forces in Bibihari-Madhupur and Keodesole forest areas of West Midnapore District during an overnight raid on November 14. Jhargram Additional Superintendent of Police Mukesh Kumar said the raids were launched by eight companies of Central Reserve police Force (CRPF), SAF and State Armed Police following a tip off that two squads of Maoists had gathered in the forests with explosives to perpetrate acts of sabotage. The joint forces retaliated and forced the Maoists to retreat, he said adding none was injured in the exchange. During searches the joint forces seized about 120 kilograms of explosives stacked in two plastic drums and stored under the ground near a water body in the Madhupur forest near Jamboni, which provides easy access to Jharkhand. The explosives included detonators and three landmines, a large number of cartridges besides a single barrel gun, he said.

The Hindu reports that 20 cadres of the Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist) set ablaze Dhanghori gram panchayat (village level local self government institution) office at Sankrail in West Midnapore District on November 19. The Maoists hurled bombs and subsequently broke into the building and ransacked the office - damaged furniture and computers, burnt files. They also raised slogans and left posters claiming responsibility for the incident. The posters recovered from the incident side said the attack was in retaliation for the 'atrocities' by the ruling Communist Party of India-Marxist (CPI-M) cadres on villagers at Chunapara area on November 4. Superintendent of Police of Jhargram, Pravin Kumar Tripathi said investigations pointed to the involvement of some local supporters of the Maoist-backed People’s Committee against Police Atrocities (PCPA).
