Suspected Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist) cadres abducted the son of a Trinamool Congress (TMC) leader in the Banspahari area of West Midnapore District on October 2, reports The Hindu. However, the youth was later found by Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF) personnel from a nearby forest on October 3. A group of armed men had barged into TMC leader Tarun Mondal's house at Sigdi and asked for him. “When they found him missing, they abducted his 18-year-old son Lalit. An FIR was lodged by Mondal's family at the Belpahari station,” said Gaurav Sharma, Superintendent of Police of Jhargram Police District.

Two landmines, believed to be embedded with sensors, were defused at Saroa village in Salboni area of West Midnapore District on October 2, reports The Times of India. Local villagers said while one was spotted on a culvert, the other was lying barely 300 meters away from it. Police said the joint operation is already under way and such a tactic by the Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist) to cause collateral damage can't be ruled out in the near future too. The place where the mines were placed is an important transit point for the forces and is frequented by villagers. Police later launched a search operation and recovered 10 sacks full of sulphur and sodium nitrate from Kendudanga village under Sankrail Police Station.

The Union Home Ministry has asked the West Bengal Government to relieve more than 1,000 Central Armed Police Force personnel in an apparent message that the authorities were not making proper use of them for anti-Naxal [Left Wing Extremism] operations. In a letter, the Union Home Ministry asked West Bengal to relieve one of the six battalions sent to the State to conduct anti-Naxal operations in Maoist-hit West Midnapore, Purulia and Bankura Districts, official sources said. "Most of the central forces are sitting idle and so there is no point keeping them in West Bengal. The main purpose of sending the forces to the state was to conduct anti-Naxal operations. Since they are not deployed for the job, we want to move them to Chhattisgarh," a source said.

Zee News reports that the Communist Party-Maoist (CPI-Maoist) on October 4 said that they would restrain use of arms for one month if the Government suspended joint operation in Jungle Mahal to create a congenial atmosphere for talks. "If there is no joint operation in the area then we will restrain arms for one month," a joint statement signed and issued by Akash- spokesperson of Maoist state Committee besides Sujato Bhadra and Choton Das, the two interlocutors, said. "The government will have to decide whether they will suspend joint operation for a month and create a congenial atmosphere for talks," Bhadra said. "The statement was signed on September 30 and there was an embargo till October 3 and after that the content of the statement was released to the media," Bhadra said. When asked whether it was a unilateral decision taken by the ultras, Bhadra said "It is never unilateral because if the government promises to stop joint operation then only the Maoist will restrain arms but it is a positive move which will provide scope for a dialogue."

The Hindu reports that the interlocutors appointed by the West Bengal Government seem convinced that the Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist) is serious about pursuing ways to bring peace to the region. “Both the main stakeholders as well as the government are serious in pursuing peace as are the people of Jangalmahal,” said Sujato Bhadra, one of the main interlocutors for talks with the Maoists, talking to The Hindu in the wake of the CPI-Maoist’s truce offer that was made public earlier this week. There could be some indication of the State Government's response to the offer during Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee's scheduled visit to West Midnapore District next week.

"We are engaged in full-scale operations against Maoists [Communist Party of India-Maoist] in Jangalmahal," said a senior Police officer at Writers' Building, the state secretariat, on condition of anonymity, reports Hindustan Times. "Operations are being scaled up to track down top Maoist leaders who are frequenting the Lalgarh-Jhargram belt," the officer added. Operations were conducted in Lalgarh recently to arrest the elusive Maoist leader Koteswar Rao alias Kishenji. Security Forces also combed the nearby forests. Bhagwat Hansda, central committee member of the Maoist-backed People's Committee against Police Atrocities (PCPA), was arrested in Binpur on October 8. Two Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF) battalions were scheduled to be withdrawn this month. But it was stalled following a request by the State.

The Hindu reports that in a statement purportedly issued by the State Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist) leadership, the seriousness of the West Bengal Government over holding peace talks with the outfit has been questioned. The statement comes two days ahead of Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee's arrival in Jungle Mahal where Maoists have been active recently. She is scheduled to address a rally at Jhargram in West Midnapore District on October 15. “As of now, there has been no indication from the Chief Minister of a reaction to the interlocutors' proposal (appointed by the State for talks with the Maoists) for a ceasefire by the two sides (the State and the Maoists) and for suspending joint security operations (against the Maoists),” said Akash, the State Committee secretary of the CPI-Maoist, in the statement dated October 12.

The Indian Express reports that the Communist party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist) on October 12 slammed the State Government’s move to recruit 10,000 Police constables from Jungle Mahal and termed it as a “conspiracy hatched by Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee”. A statement signed by one Akash, who identified himself as CPI-Maoist state committee secretary, read: “She (Mamata Banerjee) wants to give arms to the tribal population and we are apprehending that she will bring the Salwa Judum back in West Bengal by violating the verdict of the Supreme Court.” “We also want that unemployed youths should be employed. But they can be done in other ways by employing the youths in education, health and several other departments,” the statement added.

West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee on October 15 gave Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist) a seven-day deadline to lay down arms, saying violence would not be tolerated any more, reports Hindustan Times. "I am giving you (Maoists) a seven-day ultimatum to lay down guns. Think over it. We will not tolerate any more violence. Killings and negotiations cannot go hand in hand," she told a rally at the Jhargram stadium of West Midnapore District. Condemning killings by Maoists and gunning down of two Trinamool Congress leaders in Jungle Mahal recently, Banerjee said, "We have started the peace process, stopped joint operations for over four months, expecting peace to return... But they (Maoists) have not kept their word and continued the killing spree." She said if peace returned to Jungle Mahal, there would be no need of joint security operations.

Hindustan Times reports that a day after West Bengal chief minister Mamata Banerjee's seven-day ultimatum to the Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist) to choose between guns and negotiation, Maoist posters were seen in Jungle Mahal on October 16 threatening the Trinamool Congress (TMC) leaders of dire consequence if their pre-poll promise of withdrawing joint security forces and releasing jailed extremists was not kept. The three handwritten red posters, pasted on walls at Bhadutala market of Salboni in West Midnapore District, were in Bengali. "If the promises are not kept the lives of Trinamool Congress leaders will be under threat," a poster read.

Within 48 hours of Chief Minister (CM) Mamata Banerjee’s seven-day ultimatum to the Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist) to lay down arms and come to the negotiating table, joint Police Forces and Maoist squads exchanged fire at the Banksole forest in West Midnapore District on October 18, reports The Indian Express. It was an “intelligence based operation”. The police seized a .303 rifle, 10 live cartridges, three empty cases, a detonator and Maoist literature and transistors, said Gaurav Sharma, Superintendent of Police (SP), Jhargram. When asked if there was any mandate from the government to launch such an operation when the Chief Minister had given a seven-day ultimatum to the Maoists, Alok Rajoria, Additional SP (Operations), Jhargram said: “If there is an armed movement, we have to operate.” Vivek Sahai, Inspector General, Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF) said, “We have no order to restrict our operations. The operations are on.” The confrontation came on a day the CM talked to Government-appointed interlocutors at Writers’ Buildings (State Secretariat) to discuss the peace process with the Maoists. In Kolkata, chief interlocutor Sujato Bhadra said after the discussions with Mamata Banerjee that “the dialogue process is on and will continue”. According to sources, during the closed-door meeting, the CM is said to have asked the interlocutors to get a written statement from a Maoist central committee member that during the peace process, there will be no killing in Jungle Mahal and display of armed action.

"Make the bandh in Junglemahal on Saturday a success against the injustice meted out to the people of the area," Maoist state committee secretary Akash, said in an open letter. Akash, also the Maoist spokesman, alleged the State Government was "unleashing terror" in the name of peace in Junglemahal. In addition, CM Banerjee held a meeting with Maoist interlocutors on October 18 and asked them to convince the Maoists to give a written undertaking saying that they (Maoists) will surrender arms and stop killing innocent people in Jangalmahal, reports The Economic Times. But the Maoists on October 19 made it clear that they have no confidence on the chief minister's initiative to hold talks with them to bring back peace and normalcy in the region. Maoist state secretary Aakash said the bandh "has been called to give a befitting reply to Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee's refusal to address the issues we have raised for development of Jangalmahal."

Even as the seven-day deadline by Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee to the Maoists active in West Bengal's Jangalmahal region to give up arms and sit for negotiations expired on October 22, the State Government asserted that it was still open to talks with the rebels, The Hindu. “In a democracy, there must be some options open. We can discuss, we can negotiate…If they [the Maoists] listen, it is good,” said Banerjee in New Delhi while referring to the left-wing extremists as “brothers and sisters.” The Chief Minister's remarks come at a time when there are distinct signs of the joint Security Forces preparing for a fresh and sustained offensive against the rebels in the Jangalmahal region after a lull in operations since the Trinamool Congress-led Glweovernment assumed power on May 20, 2011.

The Economic Times reports that the telecom department will ask a minimum two operators to roll out mobile networks in nine States with a sizeable Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist) presence by early-2012. Plans are afoot to also include an additional 18 remote Districts across these nine States, including Purulia and Bankura, which are part of the famous 8,000 square kilometres Jangalmahal Maoist corridor in West Bengal.

As a result, we will require multiple operators in each of these States," said a senior telecom department official with direct knowledge of the matter said.

If they agree to it they can let us know……An agenda for discussions between the two sides to take the peace process forward could then be drawn up,” key interlocutor Sujato Bhadra said.

The peace talks between the West Bengal Government and the Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist) have come to an end with the Maoists calling them “misleading and senseless”, reports The Indian Express. A letter from CPI-Maoist state secretary Akash to Sujato Bhadra, the leader of the six-member team of interlocutors, says the “peace talks” referred to by Mamata Banerjee Government frequently did not make any sense. The State Government should stop spreading the misleading news of peace talk being continued, it says. The letter dated October 26 has been circulated internally in the party and its frontal organisation claimed the State Government started operation in Junglemahal from August 24 and it continued till September 30, when the interlocutors purportedly held a meeting with the Maoists. Moreover, the raids and operations have been stepped up after the meeting that was held on September 30. Addressing Bhadra and other interlocutors, Akash says in the letter, “We have repeatedly informed you and the committee members about the operations of the joint forces and the villages where they raided. We requested you to be vocal in front of Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee that how the pre-conditions of peace talks are being violated. But you always kept us saying not to do this and not to do that. Why did not you tell the same thing to the State Government? Peace talk and operation cannot continue simultaneously and in the name of peace talk, the treachery of Mamata Banerjee will also not continue for long.”
