[In one district after another, as government forces find themselves unable to suppress popular resistance, including village militias and Maoist units, they appeal to be classified as an "LWE - affected" (left-wing-extemist-affected) area, to obtain more police funding and materials.--ed.]
Kolkata: The Left Front may be claiming success in the anti-Maoist operations in Junglemahal but an internal government report indicates that the ultras who till now had been confined to Junglemahal — Purulia, West Midnapore and South 24 Parganas — have spread to other nearby districts.
The police and local administrations of Birbhum, Nadia and Murshidabad districts have submitted a report to the state home department requesting that some police stations in their districts should be brought under the ambit of Left Wing Extremism-affected area considering the increased activities of the Maoists there.
According to the reports submitted by the state police to state home department, eight police stations in Nadia, six police stations in Birbhum and three police stations in Murshidabad have seen increased Maoist activities in recent months.
"The reports and the recommendations have been submitted to us and we have forwarded it to the state home department. After scrutinizing the facts, the report will be sent to the Centre for approval from the state home department," said Surajit Kar Pura Kayestha, IG (Law and Order).
Police sources said Dubrajpur and Khairashol police stations in Birbhum district, which have been mentioned as Maoist-affected areas, had always been a safe haven for the Maoists. "Several senior Maoists leaders, including Kalpana Ruidas, were arrested from the area," said a senior police officer.
The report accessed by The Indian Express further states that the Maoists have formed a regional committee in Nadia and an area committee in Jalangi. There are over 30 members in the area committee. "The Maoists started setting up their base in the area after forming an outfit called Mazdoor Krishak Sangram Samity, which works like a frontal organisation of the Maoists much akin to the People's Committee Against Police Atrocities (PCAPA) in West Midnapore," said a senior police officer.
"As per the information we have gathered till now, the area committee is led by Prasanta Das alias Raja, a resident of Kotwali," the officer added.
"Das is the key person in the area who is strengthening the cadre's base in Murshidabad and Nadia districts. They have started spreading their influence in the colleges of the district," the officer said.
