Orissa: Maoists spreading tentacles to urban, coastal centres ::NEWSSAMBALPUR/JAGATSINGHPUR: The arrest of Damdeo from Khadia Basti in Rourkela,
James from Badbazar in Sambalpur and now Prashant Rout from Jagatsinghpur
besides disclosure of Damdeo that they had sent Rs 25 lakh to their leaders
in Cuttack have exposed that the Naxals have spread their tentacles to urban
centres.
While Sambalpur SP Kumar admitted that they have presence in urban areas
including Cuttack, experts feel easy availability of logistics and dense
population have helped Maoists strengthen base in urban centres.
The recovery of MCC literature, which called for 'Vote Barjan - Mukti Arjan'
(Boycott Poll, Get Freedom) and was distributed before the panchayat polls,
in Jagatsinghpur also exposed the Maoist network in the district.
In fact, even Jagatsinghpur SP Radhakrishna Sharma in a recent press meet
had confirmed that Maoists have links with the district.
Meanwhile, to drive home the point, Sambalpur police on Friday conducted
raids in Jagatsinghpur district to find out clues about the presence of
ultras.
During a recent combing operation in Sambalpur, a few Maoists had been
injured in police firing and one of them had been identified as a resident
of Kusupur village in Jagatsinghpur district.
Sambalpur police raided the hide-outs of the ultras at Kusupur,
Dhanurubellari and other areas under Ersama police limits.
The cops also got a clue that the Naxals were carrying on their activities
with the knowledge of a retired police officer and thus raided the house of
the officer at Jagatsinghpur besides another house in Deliligramsewar
village.
The cops got sufficient evidence about the movement of their sympathisers in
these areas. According to police, the ultras have targeted the district to
take advantage of the Posco imbroglio.
Contacted, Balikuda police station OIC S K Kanungo confirmed that Sambalpur
police had raided Balikuda areas.

West Bengal: Girl accused of Maoist links gets bail ::NEWS
The Calcutta High Court granted bail to Putul Haldar (19), charged with
being involved with a Maoist outfit, on Monday. A Division Bench comprising
Justices Girish Chandra Gupta and KK Prasad upheld the bail petition moved
by advocate Uttam Mazumdar.
In August 2007, members of a suspected Maoist group snatched two rifles from
the police at Chapra in Nadia district. Suspecting the girl's involvement,
Chapra police picked up Putul on August 19. She was kept in the lock-up for
a few days but the police did not file any case against her. Her father
Rabin Haldar then lodged a complaint with the Nadia Chief Judicial
Magistrate, stating that the police had taken her into custody without
levelling any charge. The CJM had asked the SP to file an inquiry report
within seven days.
In the report, the SP said Putul had links with Maoists in the area. Chakdah
police, meanwhile, alleged that Putul was involved in illegal trafficking of
narcotics, including ganja. She was arrested on August 23 with 2.8 kg of
ganja but even after five months in jail, the police failed to frame a
chargesheet against her.
Toady Mazumdar moved the plea, stating that the police arrested Putul on the
mere suspicion of involvement with Maoists. He added that this was an
example of how the police were harassing innocent people in the name of
action against Maoists.

Police distribute TVs to villagers in AP's naxalite-hit interior villages
::NEWS
In an effort to win over the hearts of the people of naxalite-hit interior
villages, the district police administration today distributed colour
television and Direct To Home (DTH) systems free of cost to each of the 20
village committees.
At a function organised here, Superintendent of Police Soumya Mishra handed
over the TV sets to the members of the village committees. Almost all the
villages were predominantly tribal ones that remained cut off from the
mainstream of the society.
''People living in far off corners should know what is happening around
them. How fast the world is changing and how the people are benefitting from
the initiatives of individual efforts and Government schemes,'' the SP said.

Maoists for militant stir to get Telangana ::NEWS
HYDERABAD: Maoists have called for building a militant movement for
achieving statehood for Telangana, pointing out that all political parties
were raking up the issue only with an eye on winning the next elections.
In a hard-hitting statement issued here on Tuesday, the CPI (Maoist)
spokesman in Andhra Pradesh, Janardhan, said political leaders from
Telangana region were now being forced to speak in favour of carving out a
separate State in view of the growing aspirations among the people of
Telangana region.
Janardhan accused the Congress of backstabbing the people of Telangana as it
had supported the separate Telangana demand before elections and then
abandoning it later. Telugu Desam Party leaders like T. Devender Goud, who
had opposed the separate Telangana demand, were now too shedding 'crocodile
tears.
' The BJP, which had taken up the issue now, had conveniently forgotten the
issue when it was in power at the Centre. Similarly, the TRS which had
threatened to make all its elected representatives resign from their posts,
was also not willing to tell people why it had kept quiet for past four
years.
