India - Telangana..a day’s bandh - Chhattisgarh maoist attack against COBRA

The Communist Party of India (Maoist) announced its return to action in Telangana on November 8 by calling a day’s bandh to protest the ‘wrong policies’ of the TRS government that is resulting in farmer suicides. Ajay Misra, principal secretary (home), however, sought to make light of the matter and said police were well prepared to take on the Maoist menace. “We must not mix the issue of security cover given to ministers with the Maoists issue. The two are separate. The Maoists might have given the bandh call to make their presence felt, but our police force is well prepared to tackle them,” Misra said.
