Bauxite mining: Maoist leader alleges SP’s role
In an audio tape circulated to a few media houses by the East
Division of CPI (Maoist), Kailasam, a leader from the division has
claimed that the Superintendent of Police (Visakhapatnam) Koya Praveen
is helping the companies who intent to undertake bauxite mining in the
Agency areas of the district by trying to suppress the people’s
movement. The tape has claimed that the SP is trying to blame the
Maoists for instigating the adivasis in taking up a movement against the
bauxite mining in the Agency areas of Visakhapatnam district.
But in reality, it was a people’s movement as bauxite mining in the
pristine Agency areas will spell doom for the adivasis who have been
inhabiting the region since generations. Kailasam has claimed that the
SP is trying to gain control over the region by intimidating innocent
adivasis in the name of area domination exercise, by employing the
central paramilitary forces. The East Division leader alleged that Mr.
Koya Praveen’s claim that the recent bandh called by the Maoist in the
Agency areas, protesting the bauxite mining, was a big flop was a false
declaration. “Running buses under armed escort cannot be justified as a
success measure against the bandh call,” he has asserted in the audio
tape. He also contended that the police was falsely blaming the Maoists
for supporting the adivasis in ganja cultivation and trade in the
interior parts of the Agency areas.

Maoist leaders release tape against Rural SP
VISAKHAPATNAM: Alleging that rural district police superintendent
Koya Praveen is in league with ANRAK, the CPI (Maoist) east division
secretary, Kailasam, in an audio press release, strongly condemned the
‘activities’ of the police department. He alleged that the mindset of
the policemen had not changed ever since the days of the British Raj. He
alleged that the police personnel were helping those hell bent on
grabbing the bauxite mines against the wishes of the tribals. Kailasam
also alleged that despite change in authority there has been no respite
to the poor and those fighting for justice. “Every people’s movement is
linked to the Naxal movement, whether it be strike by RTC employees,
Anganwadi workers or Aasha workers,” he said.

Bihar: 9 injured in Maoist attack at bridge construction site
Nine labourers were injured during a maoist attack at a construction
site in Banka district of Bihar,according to a police official. The
torched vehicles include two SUVs, two tractors, an excavator, an
earthmover and a motorcycle. “The incident happened near Dudhiyatadi
village along Odni river where a bridge is being constructed by
Chaubatiya Constructions. It seems to be a fall out of levy (extortion)
demand by Maoists,”said Banka Superintendent of Police Satya Prakash.
The SP said around 20 Maoists arrived at the site searching for a
particular official of the company. When they did not find him, they
assaulted those working there leaving six injured. “The ultras then
torched the vehicles parked there and fired indiscriminately while
retreating. Three labourers were hit by bullets. All the injured have
been admitted to Banka Sadar Hospital,” the SP said. Raids are being
conducted to arrest those involved in the attack.
