Maoists attack Chhattisgarh Armed Forces camp, kill jawan
Maoists attacked a Chhattisgarh Armed Forces camp on Thursday and at least one jawan was killed in the attack. The attack took place in the Narayanpur district, according to ANI news agency. This is the latest in a spate of Naxal attacks in Chhattisgarh, with 411 attacks recorded till November.

The annual People’s Liberation Guerrilla Army (PLGA) week observed by the banned CPI(Maoist) from December 2, in the Visakha Agency...Violence was expected during the PLGA week as the protest against bauxite mining plans of the government went up manifold after the GO 97 was issued on November 5 and the Maoists, looking for a chance to regain their hold over the Girijans, extended their support to the agitation in the Agency area.
The Maoists are trying to regain their hold over Visakha Agency..which helps them consolidate and become strong. ... Maoists also announced that anti- bauxite agitation would be main issue during this year’s PLGA week.

..... Maoists have reportedly conducted meetings in the interior areas and in the Andhra-Odisha border area but no activity was seen in the major villages or mandal headquarters.

Reds continue poster war in Giridih villages
Dhanbad: The CPI(Maoist) continued with its poster war against panchayati raj in the rural pockets of Pirtand and Dumri blocks of Giridih district despite the state police launching anti-Maoist operations in many districts. Three Maoist-hit blocks of the district, including Pirtand, Dumri and Bagodar will vote in the fourth and last phase of the panchayat election on December 12. Apart from protesting against the ongoing anti-Maoist operations, Maoists have asked villagers to stay away from polling. A number of posters and pamphlets were seen in the remote villages of Pirtand and Dumri blocks in the past week.

They have also reportedly recruited a large number of Girijans from Visakha Agency and other States like Chattisgarh and Odisha during the week. Here they completed the task set for the week: swelling the cadres by making fresh recruitment which they have not been able to do during the last few years which resulted in dwindling of local cadres in their armed squads. But keeping quiet during the PLGA week might be a strategy to come out with a strong move later. While top leaders of the area like Ravi, Azad and Chalapathi are reportedly conducting operations, the party’s central committee believed to have met in Chattisgarh and discussed the bauxite issue.

Koraput:
Prior to the commencement of the PLGA week, the Maoists had put on posters and banners at several areas in Malkangiri and Rayagada districts urging locals for cooperation. Fearing Maoist attacks, buses stayed off roads in Malkangiri district and some parts of Koraput district. Markets in Malkangiri district wore a deserted look while offices and schools recorded thin attendance. “Commuters had a harrowing time as bus services were cancelled. Patients were the worst sufferers,” said a resident at Kalimela. In Koraput district, combing operation was intensified in Narayanpata, Pottangi and Lamataput blocks following intelligence reports that the Maoists were planning some major offensives. The CPI (Maoist) had been observing the PLGA week in memory of their martyrs Nalla Adireddy alias Syam, Murali and Naresh, killed in an encounter at Koyyuru in Karimnagar in 2000.
