Statesman reports that the January 16 bandh (shutdown) call given by Maoist zonal committee of Midnapore West, Bankura and Purulia was total in the Belphari, Binpur and Lalgarh areas with buses being off the roads and attendance in State Government offices being thin. While schools and colleges in the area were asked to be closed, shops and markets also kept their shutters down. The bandh was partial in Nayagram, Jamboni and Gopiballavpur. However, train services were normal. The bandh was called to protest against the police firing at Kalinga Nagar in Orissa on January 2, which resulted in the death of 12 tribals, and also against the eviction of farmers in South 24-Parganas. The Maoist bandh passed off peacefully in Bankura and Purulia districts. In Purulia, where the Jharkhand Mukti Morcha had extended its support to the Maoist call, police seized Maoist posters from Puncha. In Khatra sub-division, public transport came to a halt.

Two police personnel of the Bomb Disposal squad were killed and 29 others, including some senior police officers and journalists, were injured when a land mine planted by the Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist) cadres exploded in the Lalgarh area of Paschim Medinipur (West Midnapore) district on September 21. In all, 19 police personnel, including the district's Additional Superintendent of Police and Deputy Superintendent of Police, were injured. Seven journalists reportedly received serious injuries. The explosion occurred when the bomb squad personnel were trying to open the tiffin-box that contained the mine, after supposedly defusing it. Banibrata Basu, Inspector-General (western range), admitted that it was “clearly a trap” laid by the Maoists. He added the bomb squad should have been more careful. “This is clearly a human error. This is not the proper way to defuse powerful explosives,” he said. The Maoist organisation had earlier called for a bandh (shutdown) in Paschim Medinipur and the adjoining districts of Purulia and Bankura during the day to mark the second anniversary of its foundation.
