The Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist) has called for a bandh (general shutdown) on April 5 in the Visakha Agency in Visakhapatnam District of Andhra Pradesh in protest against the alleged killing of two tribal farmers by the anti-Naxal Force, the Greyhounds, reports The Hindu on April 1. According to the Maoists, the two villagers were innocent farmers and not its members as claimed by the security forces. Batti Bhushanam (52) and SidaariJamadhar (30) were reportedly killed on March 15 near Buradamamidi village in the PedakodapalliPanchayat (village level local self-Government institution) of the Pedabayalu Mandal (administrative sub-division) in the District. In a letter released on March 30, the Maoists also claimed that the Telugu Desam Party (TDP) government was using repressive tactics through the Security Forces (SFs) to exploit the natural resources in the tribal areas. The letter, addressed by MKVB (Malkangiri-Koraput-Visakhapatnam Border) Division secretary Kailasam, said the SFs were arresting and torturing innocent tribals and destroying their crops and livestock. Kailasam also said the Opposition parties were not condemning the repressive tactics and this indicated that they were hand in glove with the State Government. It is to be noted that earlier, South Asia Terrorism Portal (SATP) had reported, two suspected CPI-Maoist cadres were killed in an alleged encounter near Pedakodapalli village in Pedabayalu Mandal in the Andhra Odisha Border (AOB) region of Visakha Agency in Visakhapatnam District of Andhra Pradesh on March 16.

The Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist) have claimed responsibility for the May 1 blast, set off by an Improvised Explosive Device (IED), in Kurkheda Tehsil (revenue unit) in Gadchiroli District of Maharashtra that had killed 15 Security Force (SF) personnel and their driver, reports The Indian Express on May 18. A pamphlet, issued by western sub-zonal bureau of CPI-Maoist recently, claimed that the blast was carried out to avenge the “police atrocities” in last year’s Kasnasur ambush in which 40 Maoist cadres were killed in the incident. It also referred to the April 27 “fake” encounter of senior Maoist cadre Ramco Narote. Narote, a member of Gadchiroli’s divisional committee of CPI-Maoist, and her accomplice Shilpa Durva were killed in what the Police claimed to be a regular encounter near Gundurwahi village in Bhamragarh tehsil. The pamphlet also said that the government has put many “pro-people” and “intellectual leaders” in jail in the name of “urban Naxalism”. “The Brahminical, fascist government, led by Devendra Fadnavis, is milking Gadchiroli’s natural resources, like iron ore, after coming to power. When people oppose it, the police oppress them. Officials and police are creating hurdles in the way of tribals taking benefit of the PESA provisions,” the pamphlet reads. It adds “we will continue to oppose them tooth and nail”. The pamphlet also called upon people to observe a bandh (general shutdown strike) on May 19 called by the Naxals [Left Wing Extremists, LWEs] to protest against the April 27 encounter.

Around a dozen alleged Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist) cadres, in civil attire, visited Gurupalli village under Etapallitaluka (revenue sub-division) in Gadchiroli District of Maharashtra, daring the local population to burn banners of their party in front of them, late evening on May 19 when Maoists had called a ‘bandh’ (general shutdown strike), reports The Times of India. Earlier, photographs of Gurupalli villagers making a bonfire of Maoist banners were circulated by the Police on social media. Superintendent of Police (SP), GadchiroliShaileshBalkawade, however, denied Maoists had threatened any villagers labelling the reported incident as a ‘fake propaganda’ and ‘fake news’ on social media. On the other hand, the incident was confirmed by activist Suresh Balsagre of JanhitvadiSanghatna from Etapalli. “This threatening of villagers did take place at Gurupalli on bandh day. The next day pamphlets were found at Jeveli, Dumme and adjoining villages which is a tell-tale sign that Maoists were present,” he said. The villagers of Gurupalli were also warned by the Maoists not to go for tendu (leaves of the DiospyrosMelonoxylon plant), collection the following day (May 20) until the issue was clear before them. The bandh was called against the April 27 encounter of ‘Divisional committee member (DVCM)’ RamkoNarote and Bhamragarh ‘area committee member, ACM’ ShilpaDhurva which the Maoists claimed were ‘extra-judicial’ killings.

Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist) cadres set ablaze two ‘jungle depots’, a road roller, blocking several internal roads, shutting markets, disrupting services of Maharashtra State Road Transport Corporation (MSRTC) buses, and also pasted banners and posters about the ‘bandh’ on May 19, in Gadchiroli District of Maharashtra on May 19, reports The Times of India. The bandh had been called to protest the alleged ‘fake encounter’ killings of their Divisional Committee Member (DVCM) Ramko Narote and cadre Shilpa Dhurva on April 27 at Gundurwahi by C-60 commandos during an operation. In the banners and posters, the Maoists demanded clarification from the Police on the killings. Apart from Police, the Maoists also issued threats to the foresters, urging villagers to resist their work of cutting trees and bamboo, as “they are owned by the tribals”. The Maoists put up a number of banners in the early hours on May 19, throwing challenge to the Police stationed merely four kilometres away at Purada Police Station. The Maoists then headed towards the forest near Warbi (Chirpi), around seven kilometres away, where they set wood at the jungle depot on fire. The depot belonged to the Forest Labourers’ Co-operative Society, where wood from adjoining forests of Yedapar and Kurundi was collected. The Maoists blocked the road between Karamphata and Gurupalli in Etapalli taluka (revenue sub-division) by tying a banner across the road and also laying felled trees on the road. One side of the banner was tied to a vehicle which the Maoists had set ablaze some days ago. Police claimed this road blockade was later removed by villagers so vehicles could pass. Earlier in the morning, State Transport buses had returned to Etapalli depot from this place, but later resumed services till Alapalli. The Maoists later set ablaze a road roller at Gurupalli Road. The roller was engaged in road construction works. A jungle depot near Gurupalli was also set on fire. Maoist banners were also spotted at places in Bhamragarh taluka including at Kospundi phata near Tadgaon, Parlakota river bed and other places. The markets at different taluka places like Korchi in the north and south’s Etapalli, Alapalli and Bhamragarh remained shut.

The Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist) in Balaghat District of Madhya Pradesh has called for a bandh (general shutdown) in the district on September 18 in protest against the ‘encounter killing’ of Maoist leader Jamuna and other members by Police and armed forces reports The Times of India on September 16. The Maoists have put up banners and pamphlets in various parts of the district appealing villagers to not go to work on September 18 also, asking them to join People’s Liberation Guerrilla Army (PLGA) to avenge killing of Jamuna, Mangesh and Nande. The banners were printed on the letterhead of Maharashtra-Madhya Pradesh-Chhattisgarh special zonal committee (MMCSZC) and following this incident, the Police have intensified search operations in the region. Maoist leader Jamuna (45) was a hard-core cadre, accused in the murder of Madhya Pradesh Minister Likhiram Kawre in December 1999. She was killed in Chhattisgarh’s Gatapar region in April this year. She carried a reward of Rs. 5 lakh on her head and was one of the most experienced and feared cadres. She ran an armed unit as Tanda area committee secretary and was active on the Madhya Pradesh-Chhattisgarh border. For long on the crosshairs of Security Forces (SFs), she had a narrow escape in January this year; however, later on she was killed in a joint operation carried out by Madhya Pradesh Hawk Force and Chhattisgarh police.
