The blasting of the Forest Department Office and check-post at Lothugedda in Vishakhapatnam District by members of the Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist) around midnight of January 7 is seen as an attempt by the Maoists to make their presence felt in the region, reports The Hindu.

They appealed to the tribals to oppose bauxite mining in the Agency. It is said that around 50 Maoists belonging to the Korukonda Dalam (action squad) and their sympathisers participated in the blast.

The Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist) triggered a landmine blast to blow up an armoured vehicle, killing 13 Police personnel on board in a forest of Garhwa District bordering Chhattisgarh, on January 21, reports The Telegraph. Led by Officer-in Charge of Bhandaria Police Station Rajbali Chowdhary, troopers of VII battalion of Jharkhand Armed Police (JAP) were accompanying local Block Development Officer (BDO) Vasudev Prasad and Garhwa zilla parishad (district level local self government institution) chairperson Shushma Mehta, who were on way to Bargarh village in separate cars to resolve a dispute over a health centre due to which villagers were observing a shutdown. Vasudev, whose vehicle was ahead of the armoured van carrying the Policemen, survived the attack. “Thirteen Policemen, including Officer-in Charge of Bhandaria Police Station, have died. The rebels took away 11 INSAS rifles, one SLR and two AK 47 rifles from the Security Forces,” said State Police spokesperson and Inspector General (Provision) RK Mallick, adds Daily Pioneer. Mehta and her bodyguard were kept hostage for some time, while they were passing by the spot. Later, Maoists released Mehta after snatching the pistol of her bodyguard. According to information as many as 50 – 60 armed Maoists were involved in the attack that lasted for nearly 30 minutes. Chief Minister Arjun Munda, who was in Gumla, said the Maoists attack was an act of cowardice. “They killed innocent Policemen by planning an ambush.
