India: Maoist Landmine Attack Kills 11 Police in Jharkhand​

At least 11 police personnel have been killed in a landmine attack by Maoist insurgents in the eastern Indian state of Jharkhand, police say.

Another 25 police were seriously injured in the blast in Lohardaga district.

Active in several states, Maoists say they are fighting for the rights of indigenous tribespeople and rural poor.

India's prime minister has described the Maoist insurgency as the country's biggest internal security challenge.

Raj Kumar Mallik, police spokesman for Jharkhand, told the BBC the police team landed in a trap laid by Maoist rebels.

Paramilitary and state police were dispatched to the Sendha area, acting on information that Maoists had set up camp there, Mr Mallik said.

"But as soon as they were near Sendha a powerful landmine exploded, ripping up police vehicles. The information was deliberately planted by the Maoists," he said.

Police officers with serious injuries were air-lifted to a hospital in the state capital, Ranchi.

Elsewhere in the state a senior police officer was injured in an encounter with Maoists on the Ranchi-Jamshedpur national highway.

Maoists hold recruitment and training camps in Saranda

Lalgarh Maoist leader Bikram Mahato and a host of trained cadres, including women, from Chhattisgarh are attending camps set up by banned CPI (Maoist) deep inside Saranda forest where training is being imparted in guerilla warfare, arms and handling of explosives, police said on Saturday.

Leader of the Maoist outfit's women's wing, Chameli alias Rekha is providing arms training to the women cadre to build its 'Nari Sena' deep inside the forest which is situated along the Jharkhand-Orissa interstate border.

The recruitment drive and the training camps by the Maoists are taking place after a long hiatus and the police are keeping a close watch on movements of the Maoists, who have lured hundreds of tribal youths and girls belonging to villages on both sides of the inter-state border with promises of financial packages, the police said.

At least three major training camps run by the outfit's Chhota Nagpur zonal committee are in existence at Digha, Balwa and Thalkobad area of Jharkhand and lie between the entry point in Bisra in Sundargarh district and Mancharpur and Kiriburu of Jharkhand.


The forest area, known as a Maoist hot bed, has been chosen taking into consideration the hostile hilly terrain that can be reached only on foot or motorcycle. Only one route, the Karampada route serve as the supply line for logistics and other provisions, the police added.

Chennai Express' miraculous escape

Guwahati, May 07: In a miraculous incident, the Chennai Express went unhurt after an IED explosion on the track between Srirampur and Gossaigaon stations in Assam's Kokrajhar district. The blast went off just five minutes after the Guwahati-Chennai train crossed the track.

District police said that the blast has blown away almost seven feet of the track in the down line. "It was an IED blast. The blast has made a crater about two feet deep and we have found some wires and a LPG cylinder at the blast site.

Police said there were inputs that the anti-talk NDFB group would try to blast the railway tracks. However, an Adivasi militant outfit on Saturday morning called up some media houses claiming responsibility of the blast.

this happened in the neighbourhood next door..something of this sort happens daily here

 

[kak1978]

One question to Pakistani's posting on this thread. What is the point of this thread? Do you support Insurgencies in India, do you oppose? This thread is as pointless as the causes the Maoists are fighting for. Can a Pakistani here point to me one logical demand of Maoists?
