Maoist Communist Party claims IED threat at MM Hr Secondary School
IMPHAL, Jun 28: The Maoist Communist Party, Manipur has claimed that
the IED found near the gate of MM Higher Secondary School was planted by
the outfit`s Red Guards. A statement of the outfit while making the
claim said the outfit has been trying to avoid any kind of confrontation
for long it has been induced to plant the explosive as a last warning
to the school. It said the outfit will not remain silent incase the
school continue to remain indifferent to the outfit.
It said the IED was planted against the school`s indifference to the
confusion regarding a huge number of CBSE students and instead turning
itself into a profit making institute. It also said that the outfit is
now clearly aware of the fact that several of its cadres had been
arrested due to the school and now the outfit cannot forgive the school.
The outfit has also warned the CBSE Monitoring Cell which is yet to
announce any of its findings regarding the issue of CBSE school students
who were unable to appear for their exams.VISAKHAPATNAM: With the security forces gradually limiting the
movement of the CPI Maoists in the Andhra-Odisha Border (AOB) area, the
banned outfit has reportedly modified its tactics as well as its
organizational structure. The naxals are believed to have formed a new
committee called the Malkangiri-Visakha-Koraput divisional committee
with an experienced leader at the helm to strengthen the rank and file
and regain their past glory. According to sources, the new division was
formed after the visit of Maoist central committee leaders to Visakha
Agency in May and June this year. Around 14 leaders from the
Dandakaranya Zonal Committee of Chhattisgarh, including Maoist central
military chief Namballa Kesava Rao alias Ganganna and central regional
bureau (CRB) chief Katakam Sudarsan alias Anand are learnt to have
visited the district. Few days after their visit, another team of nine
members interacted with the squads and area committees in the AOB,
sources said.
They said the new committee was aimed at not only strengthening the
naxal presence in the AOB areas, but also to safeguard their movements
in Chhattisgarh. If the AOB Maoists become weak, the ones in the
Dandakaranya zone would be in danger as security forces of Andhra
Pradesh, Telangana and Odisha would seal the borders and corner them.
Though one Venu calling himself the head of the
Malkangiri-Visakha-Koraput divisional committee has already begun
issuing press notes, the Visakha Rural cops suspect that Venu is none
other the dreaded Gajarla Ravi alias Ganesh alias Uday, the present
Malkangiri-Koraput border (MKB) divisional committee secretary.
Ravi, a native of Warangal district, was one of the Maoist
representatives that attended the meeting with the state government in
2005, following which he became famous as Charchala Ganesh. “Ravi, a
chronic diabetic, worked as a North Telangana Special Zonal Committee
(NTSZC) member but when the NTSZC lost grip over Telangana due to severe
repression by security forces in the form of encounters and arrests as
well as surrenders of squad members, he was transferred to the AOB
Special Zonal Committee,” a senior police officer involved in anti-naxal
operations told TOI.
“Uday might have been given charge of the new division as he has good
organisational skills. The Reds will now try to concentrate on areas
where they have lost their grip and chalk out plans to strengthen their
presence AOB, which is the key to protecting their movement in
Chhattisgarh,” a senior police official in Visakha agency said. Sources
said that the Maoists set up the new committee to guide the other
divisions after the strength of potential leaders reduced in Visakha,
Malkangiri and Koraput. However, all the three divisions would now be
treated as sub-division committees led by commander rank naxals, who
would become members of the new divisional committee.
Maoists visit Adivasi colony in Wayanad again
Mananthavady: After a brief lull in the Maoist-related incidents, the
presence of the ultras has been reported from Wayanad once again.
Kerala Police confirmed the visit of a five-member Maoist gang to the
Adivasi colony at Upper Makkimala in Thavinhal panchayat. The gang
visited Vellan, an Adivasi, at his house by 7.00 pm on Friday and handed
him Maoist publication ‘Kaattuthee’ and some pamphlets. They spent
around three hours in the area and visited two more houses in the
neighbourhood. The gang also asked for food and ate from the houses, the
tribals said. The colony dwellers remained silent about the Maoist
visit due to fear. One of them had introduced himself as Jayanna to the
tribals. Police suspect that the gang was led by Maoist leader Vikram
Gowda.
