TURF WAR: Activists of the People's Committee Against Police Atrocities attack the residence of a leader of the Communist Party of India (Marxist) at Dharampur village in Lalgarh on Monday.

Talks over Lalgarh agitation inconclusive

Indrani Dutta

Lalgarh: Even as the agitation and siege by tribals at Lalgarh in Paschim Medinipur entered its tenth day, a 12-hour bandh called by the SUCI in the adjacent area of Jhargram paralysed life. Some of the detained tribals have been released on bail.

While talks between the district-level administration and the leaders of tribal groups to break the deadlock and lift the road blockade at various points remained inconclusive, there were indications that the agitation may spread to fresh areas. However many of the agitators were resenting any attempt to label them as Maoists saying that it was their own agitation against the State government.

Local tribals have been on a warpath with the State government alleging police excesses in wake of the November 2 IED blast on the convoy of Chief Minister Buddhadeb Bhattacharjee , Union Steel Minister Ram Vilas Paswan, and brothers Navin and Sajjan Jindal . The police picked up and have started cases against some tribals which triggered a protest over harassment of men and women in the name of raids and searches. Bail was given to five of the 10 people against whom charges were being pressed by the Criminal Investigation Department. The agitators were demanding release of all those detained by the police. Trinamool chief Mamata Banerjee, during a meeting at Singur, expressed her solidarity with the agitation.

Monideepa Banerjie, Tuesday June 16, 2009, Dharampur, Lalgarh

There is anarchy in West Bengal, as less than 200 km away from the Kolkata, the Maoists have virtually taken over the Lalgarh block in West Midnapore district.

Their targets are the police and CPM supporters, both of whom have fled the area. And they have declared that their main target is Chief Minister Buddhadeb Bhattacharya.

The Maoists and their supporters are now ransacking every symbol of political and administrative authority in Lalgarh.

The mood in Lalgarh was celebratory, almost as if a Puja was being held. The drums were beating a slow rhythm.

And to the beat, as some danced and hundreds of others looked on, a demolition squad smashed the home of Anuj Pandey, CPM zonal secretary of Dharampur.

All this was done under the leadership of a man named Bikash who stood there with an AK 47 slung on his shoulder. Bikash is a member of the Maoist People's Liberation Guerilla Army.

"The ground here is already ready and waiting for us. A child is about to be born and we are playing the role of the nurse who will deliver it," said Bikash.

Bikash is one of 400 Maoists who apparently entered Lalgarh on June 6 for the current operation, according to police sources. Of the 400, at least 100 are armed with automatic weapons. This very group was responsible for the landmine blast on November 2 that narrowly missed the Chief Minister's convoy.

"On November 2, our plan was to execute Buddhadeb Babu. If West Bengal wants Buddhadeb hanged, who will hang him. It will be us of the People's Liberation Guerrilla Army," said Bikash.

There were more demolitions. The CPM's Dharampur local committee office was also demolished by the squad, bringing down the building brick by brick and setting it on fire.

Just a few metres away from the party office that is being demolished, there was a grisly sight. The body of Shalku Soren was lying there since Sunday. Shalku Soren was apparently a CPM worker. He was killed in a clash with Maoists.

CPM fellowmen brought him here but the situation became so tense after his body was brought here on Sunday, that they have just left the body here and run away.

In the middle of the anarchy, there was no sign of the police as they have been withdrawn by the government. The CRPF was asked to go in but refused unless given permission to open fire if necessary. That permission has apparently not been given yet but may come soon.

http://www.ndtv.com/news/india/anarchy_in_west_bengal_as_maoists_capture_lalgarh.php

West Bengal is no more RULED bay any State Power and Lawlessness is the Keyword!

Anarchy! Complete Anarchy.

Maoists want Buddhadeb`s head and they have already `LIBERATED Lalgarh'!

Comrade Buddha Deb Bhattacharya is not that SAFE as his recent AUTO adventure to woo the victims of AILA showcased recently. In his third trip to cyclone-hit areas, Chief Minister Buddhadeb Bhattacharjee travelled over four hours by road, over water and in an auto-rickshaw to meet villagers in North 24-Parganas on Saturday. Unlike earlier visits, when he was heckled by the affected people, the CM chose a safe location and covered a distance of 4 km in an auto-rickshaw to reach Jogeshganj, a CPM-led gram panchayat.

"Roads here are not suitable for cars, so we decided for auto-rickshaws," said a district administration official. Interestingly, CPM flags were not displayed in the area, the only Red factor being a banner of the Mazdur Kranti Parishad — a Naxal party.

The CM announced that he would meet Prime Minister Manmohan Singh on June 19 to discuss the relief package his government has demanded. "I know thatched houses will not last. If the Centre gives us funds, we will construct pucca residences and embankments," Bhattacharjee told the gathering.

For me, it heralds FURTHER Repression for already SEGREGATED Isolated Persecuted aboriginal, indigeneous minority communities, the Balck Untouchables! COBRA battalion is in OPERATION Mode and waiting for Order which awaits Political clearance and Leftist initiative ADMINISTRATIVE. Left Front is quite Stranded amidst TMC Capture and Maoist Liberation.

With tribal agitators on warpath, a company of Central force arrived in restive Lalgarh in West Midnapore district on Tuesday as the West

Bengal government sought more companies to assist the police.

"The state government has sought five companies of Central forces for Lalgarh. One company has already arrived there to assist the police," chief secretary Asok Mohan Chakraborty said.

He said two to three companies would soon arrive. Admitting that the police were under pressure at Lalgarh, Chakraborty said "Police at Lalgarh are under pressure but it cannot be said that they are demoralised."

He said though normal life was disrupted at Lalgarh the area had not turned into a 'free zone'.

The tribals and Maoists torched four police camps in Lalgarh on Monday after the police and CRPF left.

Paramilitary forces tried to go to Lalgarh on Tuesday but were stopped 35 km away from Midnapore town. District Magistrate N S Nigam said about 2,000 tribals stopped the forces and told them to return. Tribals also gathered at Goaltore, north of Lalgarh to march to Garbeta to bring the areas under their control.

The four NSG hubs announced in the aftermath of the Mumbai terror strikes last year will be operational by June 30.

This was stated by NSG director general N P S Aulakh after his meeting with union home minister P Chidamabarm on Tuesday.

"We have got land at all the four places -- Mumbai, Kolkata, Hyderabad and Chennai," Aulakh said. The four hubs for both anti-terror and anti-hijack operations will be operational by June 30, he said.

In the aftermath of the Mumbai terror attacks in November last year, the government had decided to set up NSG hubs in the four cities followed by more in the state capitals.

The NSG is faced with gigantic task of setting up the hubs as the 8,000-strong force is drawing men from its existing ranks.

The force, which gets its men on deputation from the Army and paramilitary forces, is still in the process of recruiting additional personnel needed for the new hubs. In the meantime, it was likely to operationalise it with existing strength.

Sources said batches of 200-250 army commandos (drawn from the Special Action Group) and 50-60 paramilitary troops (drawn from the Special Ranger Group) would be deployed initially who will be the first line of defence and offence in case of a terror attack.

Construction of commando barracks and training facilities have started at these hubs and the force, in coordination with the state governments concerned, is completing communication and other civic facilities at these camps.

Till the time the training facilities are developed at the new hubs, fully trained commandos from the Manesar (Gurgaon) garrison would be deputed to man these centres.

The new centres will be equipped with all facilities for launching counter operations, the sources said, adding that para-military commandos will provide backup support.

The decision to create new regional hubs was taken by the Centre after demands from various state governments for tackling major terror-related activities.

At Midnapore, a high-level meeting was held to discuss the situation arising out of the agitation by the tribal organisation, People's Committee Against Police Atrocities, N S Nigam said.

YEKATERINBURG (RUSSIA): Noting that terrorism is haunting the Asian and Central Asian regions, Prime Minister Manmohan Singh has underlined the need

for "genuine" cooperation among countries on a global scale to resolutely defeat the menace.

Addressing the Shanghai Cooperation Organisation (SCO) Summit here, he said India is seeking a conducive external environment for its sustained high economic growth which is necessary to meet its developmental objectives.

"We wish to see peace, prosperity and stability in the region that the (SCO) Organisation represents. We have a lot to gain and learn from each other. It is in this spirit that we approach our engagement with the Organisation and its different organs and bodies," Singh said.

"We seek an external environment that is conducive to meeting the aspirations of our people," he said, marking the first address by an Indian Prime Minister at the six-nation grouping in which India is an Observer.

Talking about the security challenges in the region in presence of Pakistan President Asif Ali Zardari besides other leaders, Singh said the "spectre of terrorism, extremist ideologies and illicit drug trafficking haunt our region".

He emphasised that terrorist crimes committed today are transnational in nature and no country is immune to these.

Bengal has not recovered from the Natural calamity AILA nor from the Political Calamity as Marxist find themselves grounded on ZERO with Broken spine! After the Sunday's all-party meeting on the devastation caused by Cyclone Aila, the Congress alleged that relief material has not reached the remote areas in the cyclone-affected districts of North and South 24-Parganas.

It is a great relief for the ruling Left Front that the Trinamool called off its 37-hour blockade of the Khejuri police station in East Midnapore on Saturday. The Trinamool and the state administration seemed headed for a violent confrontation on Friday with the state home secretary threatening to use force to lift the siege of the police station and Trinamool MP Subhendu Adhikary daring him to do so.

The Trinamool, which was protesting the arrest of 14 of its members, also announced police boycott on Saturday. Suvendu Adhikary, Trinamool MP from Tamluk, supported the boycott.

It is nothing to do with Writers`, in deep troubled water, adminiatrative will or Political capability of the state Government. The Sieze is withdrawn simply because Mamata Baneerjee, now the Railway Minister of India has to DISASOOCITE herself fromm the maoist Insuurection in Lalgarh, So that STATE Military Option may be justified. As the part of the RULING Hegemony Mamta may not disaasociate herself with the law and Order crisis as the Centre as well as Global Order looks on the Landscape as well as Humanscape.

On the other hand,after becoming operational, the Indo-US civil nuclear deal is moving "satisfactorily" with the government now negotiating with nuclear vendors, Atomic Energy Commission chairman Anil Kakodkar said on Tuesday.

"The deal is moving satisfactorily. We are talking to the vendors and a lot of preparatory work is going on," he told reporters after delivering the fourth Raja Ramanna Lecture at the Variable Energy Cyclotron Centre here.

"In order to start a project, you have to understand the technical and techno-commercial details and the regulatory aspects. You will have to understand the implementation. All these activities are on," Dr. Kakodkar said.

Stating that construction of the heavy water reactor (HWR) would begin this year, he said large-scale deployment of thorium would be done later after sufficiently enhancing the capacity of the fast reactor.

Asked whether the Department of Atomic Energy had plans to construct a fourth generation reactor, he said, "The HWR will meet all the objectives of the fourth generation reactor. So it is all there."

Earlier, delivering the Ramanna Lecture on 'Technological Empowerment of India', Dr. Kakodkar lamented the absence of initiative in the country to translate scientific research into commercially-viable technology.

"The police have behaved in a partisan manner. They did not arrest any prominent CPM leader after weapons were seized from their houses but put our innocent supporters behind the bars under non-bailable provisions," he said. "From now on, the police will not get a school building to set up camps. Shopkeepers won't sell them any item," Adhikary added.

Lalgarh has been on the boil since last November when a landmine exploded on the route of the convoy of Buddhadeb Bhattacharjee and then central ministers Ram Vilas Paswan and Jitin Prasada near Bhadutala when they were returning after laying the foundation stone of a steel plant in Salboni.

Police arrested some school students and allegedly harassed tribal women following the landmine blast. In protest, angry tribals dug up roads, virtually cutting off the zone from the rest of the district. They also demanded a public apology from the police for the alleged excesses against them. Lalgarh is some 200 km from Kolkata.

Meanwhile, the turf war between the CPM and the Lalgarh-based People's Committee against Police Atrocities (PCPA) has spilled over from West Midnapore to the neighbouring district of Bankura. Violence erupted in Akkuda village of Raniband Assembly constituency on Thursday night during a bandh called by the PCPA.

One the other hand, Eyeing the 2011 Assembly elections, Trinamool chief Mamata Banerjee has prepared a two-pronged strategy to take on the CPM-led state government.

Her Delhi team, comprising the Union ministers, will push for the state's development and highlight the state government's failure at the Central level, whereas her Kolkata team of MLAs and state leaders will rejuvenate the party at grassroots and organise mass movements against the CPM. The decision was taken at a closed-door party meeting on Saturday.

Leaders like MoS Rural Development Sisir Adhikary and MoS Health Dinesh Trivedi have been asked to scan the state government's performance and find loopholes in schemes like NREGS and rural health development projects. Already, Adhikary has drawn up a list of panchayats, where NREGS performance has been poor and he is supposed to pull up the state government on that issue.

A key Maoist leader in the troubled Lalgarh of West Bengal has revealed that people of the area want Chief Minister Buddhadeb Bhattacharjee eliminated and a landmine blast that narrowly missed the chief minister's car last November was an attempt on his life.

"The people have given the verdict to kill him (chief minister). Someone needs to execute it, so we took charge of it," Maoist leader Bikash told reporters.

The area has witnessed continuous clashes between cadre of the ruling Left and the Maoists. On Monday the tribals, led by the People's Committee Against Police Atrocities (PCAPA), allegedly set fire to the house of Anuj Pandey - a top Communist Party of India-Marxist (CPI-M) leader in Lalgarh - and also forced the police to wind up three camps set up in the area.

"At least 2,000 CPI-M men have fled Lalgarh. All their top leaders have also left the place. They have been sheltered in camps at Bandhgora in nearby Jhargram," a district police official said Monday.

Asked about the situation in Lalgarh, West Midnapore district magistrate N.S. Nigam said it was very tense. "There is no improvement in the situation yet," Nigam told IANS.

On Tuesday in Itaberia in East Midnapore, police seized some arms and ammunition from a CPI-M office.

"We have got two fire arms, 10 bullets, 17 bombs and some other material from the CPI-M party office," Pallab Kanti Ghosh, East Midnapore superintendent of police, told IANS.

Fifteen shops and one motorcycle were set ablaze during the clashes. "We are assessing the damages. Six persons have been arrested. I cannot say which party they belong to," Bankura Superintendent of Police Vishal Garg said. Police sources, however, said the arrested persons were from the PCPA.

Tribal leaders said the bandh was called to protest against the atrocities by CPM cadres and to muffle the protest, CPM members unleashed violence injuring several of their supporters. "They said they wanted to teach us a lesson and set fire to the shops," a PCPA leader said, adding that villagers sympathetic to the PCPA fled after the incident and were yet to return.

However,the state government, however, called it a constructive meeting, saying all efforts were being made for even distribution of the relief.

Neither the Trinamool Congress nor its partner SUCI joined the meet called by Chief Minister Buddhadeb Bhattacharjee. During earlier meet last Sunday, the Congress had said they needed more time to prepare for the meeting as it was called at a very short notice.

The chief minister presided over the meeting in which Finance Minister Asim Dasgupta, Congress Legislature Party leader Manas Bhunia and senior leader Pradip Bhattacharya were also present.

"We highlighted that relief material was not reaching remote areas and there was a lack of coordination among ministers. Even though the Centre was sending funds the money was not being properly used. We will take up the matter with Prime Minister Manmohan Singh and UPA chairperson Sonia Gandhi," Bhattacharya said after the meeting.

Railway Minister Mamata Banerjee on Saturday issued a whip on her ministers asking them not to spend much time in Delhi and set up their offices in Kolkata and work from there.

"Don't go to Delhi unnecessarily and stay there without any serious work. I want you all to concentrate on Bengal affairs and work for the state and spend most of your time in Kolkata," Banerjee told her party workers at the Maharastra Bhavan in south Kolkata. All her six ministers, party MLAs, important party functionaries were present at the meeting.

Banerjee said she will meet Governor Gopalkrishna Gandhi on Monday "to tell him about the CPM's state-sponsored terrorism' .

Railway Minister Mamata Banerjee has decided to keep States like Jammu and Kashmir, Uttar Pradesh, Maharashtra and West Bengal under her direct supervision while allocating equal work to her two junior ministers.

She has entrusted her two Ministers of State with seven States each. While Minister of State E Ahamed will look after Bihar, Kerala, Tamil Nadu, Chhattisgarh, Uttarakhand, Assam and Jharkhand, the other MoS K H Muniayappa has been allocated Karnataka, Gujarat, Andhra Pradesh, Rajasthan, Himachal, Haryana and Madhya Pradesh, according to a Railway Ministry notification.

She has ensured that two ministers are given equal responsibilities.

Mr. Ahamed will look after punctuality of trains, ticket checking and cleanliness with general upkeep of railway premises and complaints regarding passenger trains.

Mr. Muniyappa has been entrusted with the important responsibility of looking after safety and security of railways besides level crossings, construction of roads over and under bridges.

She asked all her ministers to rush to the politically-disturbed areas and try to protect the party supporters and common people from the wrath of the CPM. She also announced Rs 25,000 compensation for the relatives of Trinamool activists, who were killed by CPM cadres.

Close on the heels of the recovery of a huge quantity of arms and ammunition from the houses of CPI(M) leaders at Khejuri in East Midnapore district, Trinamool Congress president Mamata Banerjee on Tuesday demanded combing operations to unearth illegal arms in the state.

"Arms and ammunition have been found at Khejuri. It is a serious matter. We demand immediate combing operations for seizure of arms from all, irrespective of party affiliations, otherwise the country's internal security would be under threat," Banerjee, Union Railways Minister told reporters here.

She demanded that 14 supporters of her party who were arrested at Khejuri be released and those from whose houses arms and ammunition were found be arrested.

Terming law and order in the state as "grave", she said the Left Front government had failed to provide safety and security to the people.

"The situation is very grave. This government is busy doing politics and has failed to ensure the safety and security of the people," she alleged.

The situation in the troubled Lalgarh area of West Bengal's Paschim Medinipur district took a turn for the worse on Monday when a police outpost — recently vacated — was set ablaze, an office of the CPI(M) ransacked and torched and houses belonging to the party's leaders attacked allegedly by activists of the Maoist-backed local resistance group — the Police Santrosh Birodhi Janashadharaner Committee (PSBJC) (People's Committee against Police Atrocities).

The incidents occurred despite prohibitory orders under Section 144 Cr.PC being in force.

Chief Minister Buddhadeb Bhattacharjee convened a meeting of senior State and police officials here to review the developments at Lalgarh as well as the overall post-election law and order situation in the State.

Mr. Bhattacharjee was the target of a powerful IED blast that narrowly missed his convoy in the Salboni area of the district on November 2, 2008. The Maoists claimed responsibility for the explosion.

At least four police camps were withdrawn from the area that has been rocked by intermittent gun battles between the PSBJC and the CPI(M) supporters over the past few days, forcing many to flee from their homes.

Three bodies, claimed to be those of CPI(M) workers, were found in the Dharampur area on Sunday. A few other party supporters were reported missing.

"The decision to vacate the police camps was aimed at protecting the local people who might be motivated by others to create disturbances. If required we will set up the camps again," District Magistrate N.S. Nigam told The Hindu over telephone.

Two more Communist Party of India-Marxist cadres were found dead as pro-Naxal tribals, agitating against alleged police atrocities, on Monday torched three police camps and demolished house of a Marxist leader, virtually taking control of Lalgarh in West Midnapur district after forcing security forces to leave the area.

The police camps at Belatkri and Dharampur and the Ramgarh outpost in Lalgarh were wound up in the wake of apprehensions that tribals, who have launched an agitation under the banner of the People's Committee Against Police Atrocities, may loot the arms, the police said.

The tribals later torched the Ramgarh police outpost as also police camps at Beratikri and Dharmapur. They also demolished a camp at Kaima from where the Central Reserve Police Force withdrew, the sources said.

The camps were ransacked before being torched, official sources said. With this the entire Lalgarh area came under the control of the People's Committee Against Police Atrocities, as also most of the area under Salboni police station, they said.

Three bodies of CPI-M [Images] supporters who were killed at Dharmapur, were still lying there, bodies of two others reported missing were found at Salpatra, the sources said, adding that four Marxist supporters were still missing.

Tribals also demolished the palatial house of a CPI-M leader Anuj Pandey with crowbars and hammers at Lalgarh, the sources said, adding that Pandey had fled the site.

Tribals have launched a violent agitation against the police since November last year when West Bengal [Images] Chief Minister Buddhadeb Bhattacharjee and two then Union ministers Ramvilas Paswan and Jitindra Prasad narrowly escaped a landmine blast at Salboni in the district.

In Kolkata [Images], the Chief Minister on Monday evaded queries on the situation in the restive district. "I know nothing about what you are saying," Chief Secretary Asok Mohan Chakraborty said.

Police chief Sujit Sarkar [Images] also refused to comment. Though Lalgarh was in the control of the tribals, the 40 to 50 police personnel at the police station were still there, but were not resisting the tribals, the sources said.

In the morning, a contingent of CRPF tried to go to Lalgarh, but were stopped by the tribals at Gherua. The CRPF personnel then entered a school building, but were compelled to leave when a mob of 2,500 tribals started demonstrating, the sources said.

The tribals allegedly went around 170 villages in Lalgarh area, threatening CPI-M partymen and supporters to leave for their own safety.

Meanwhile, a Maoist leader known as Bikash claimed that his outfit was leading the tribal agitation at Lalgarh. "Chief Minister Buddhadeb Bhattacharjee is saying that we are providing support to the tribal movement and not actively participating. This is not true. We are actively in the movement and will continue to support it," Bikash, told PTI over phone.

Referring to the landmine blast at Salboni, Bikash said, "We failed." However, Chhatradhar Mahato, the leader of tribal platform PCAPA, reiterated that his organisation had no link with Maoists.
