Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist) cadres allegedly set construction vehicles, including a road roller and a JCB, ablaze in Mandwa village of Balaghat District of Madhya Pradesh on December 8, reports The Quint. Approximately 40 Maoists are alleged to have threatened labourers and set ablaze construction machines including a hot mix plant, a JCB, a roller and a motorcycle engaged in the construction of the Bithali-Pathri road in the district. The locals present at the scene said that Maoists even took their phones before they fled the scene. Similar arson incidents were carried out earlier in Koraka on December 3 and Bodalijhola on December 6 in Balaghat District. In all the incidents, the Maoists left banners and posters mentioning the death of Ultras in an encounter in Gadchiroli, Maharashtra, and calling for a ‘bandh’ (general shut down strike). Maoists appear to have designated ‘Madhya Pradesh- Maharashtra-Chhattisgarh zone (MMC)’ as their latest area of expansion. Milind alias Deepak Teltumbde was tasked with the expansion and strengthening of the cadre in this zone. Post Deepak's death on 13 November this year, the MMC is currently headless. A number of Maoist women were also purportedly involved in the recent incidents of arson carried out by banned outfit CPI-Maoist in the Balaghat District. Delving further into details, Sajid Shapoo, Inspector General of Police (IGP), Naxal [Left Wing Extremism, LWE] operations, Madhya Pradesh said, "There have been some incidents by the Maoists of burning the construction vehicles in the region and we have increased our presence in the area. They are trying to re-assert their dominance and trying to prove that the death of Deepak has not weakened them to that extent. But it's not true. The govt is very serious about this and we are doing everything to eradicate the Maoist issue from the state." Madhya Pradesh Government has been constantly reluctant in acknowledging the severity of Maoist presence in the State. Though the recent developments indicate otherwise. Between 2018 and 2021, two more Districts, Mandla and Dindori, featured on the list of Districts affected by LWE.
