Manmohan Singh underestimated Maoists in West bengal and the rest of India – Tribal upsrising in Lalgargh supported by armed Naxals blocks Indian security forces
The situation is very tense in Lalgargh, West Bengal. Poorest of the poor of India are revolting against Manmohan Singh’s Government in New Delhi and the Marxists in West Bengal with the help of armed commando Maoists.
Maoists carrying AK-47 rifles today patrolled the roads here and formed a human shield comprising women and children vowing to prevent storming of the area by security forces as a fresh upsurge of violence killed a CPI-M leader and two party activists.
Having taken over the area after forcing the police out, agitating tribals, backed by Maoists, dug up the roads at several places and blocked roads with more than 100 tree trunks to obstruct movement as 2,100 paramilitary forces, including a special force raised to combat Left-wing extremists reached Jhargram, near Lalgarh.
The Maoists carrying AK-47 rifles keep Indian security forces at bay. The Maoists armed with AK-47 rifles manned the roads between Lalgarh and Belpahari, another naxal-infested area, and erected a three-tier human shield by using children and women, a senior police official said.
Approachable from four directions by metalled and mud roads, Lalgarh remained cut-off from three sides after tribals torched the police stations and ransacked the houses of local CPI(M) leaders and took over the entire area.
