Nearly 5,000 tribals, wielding shovels, axes and hammers and led by CPI-Maoist cadres, demolished a Government building that till last week was a Police camp at Kalaimuri near Lalgarh in the West Midnapore District of West Bengal. Police said that around 11am, a group of Maoists gathered in front of the camp, one of four in Salboni. "They (the Maoists) contacted people in the neighbouring villages and asked them to assemble near the camp," a Police officer said, adding, "Nearly 5,000 villagers with bows, arrows, axes, iron rods and shovels gathered within half an hour. Some in the demolition squad were women. The Maoists held an hour-long meeting with them and the demolition began around 1pm. The camp building was completely destroyed by 4pm." Police sources said the tribals had come from about a dozen villages. This is for the first time that tribals of the area demolished a Government building. One of the tribals who helped bring the building down said, "Had the building remained standing, the Police would have returned with reinforcements. That's why we demolished it." Manoj Kumar Verma, the West Midnapore Superintendent of Police, said he had received news of the demolition and had informed his superiors. "We will not move into Kalaimuri now because it may lead to untoward incidents. We don't want a confrontation with the villagers at this moment.

Gadchiroli District of Maharashtra

The CPI-Maoist cadres set ablaze 69 trucks and three JCBs at Surjagad Lloyd Metal's iron mine, barely five-kilometres from Hedri Police post in Gadchiroli District of Maharashtra. Sources said that hundreds of Maoists descended upon the area around noon and they drove out around 300 labourers loading iron ore before setting the vehicles afire. IGP of Gadchiroli range, Shivaji Bodkhe insisted that the attack was not a reflection on Policing. "Though we have the Hedri police post 5 km away, on the other side is Abujmaad, where about 40 sq km area has no police presence and hence Maoists find it not so difficult." He added that the number of attackers would hardly have been 10 to 15. "They drove the labourers away and then had no hurdle and must have gone on setting the vehicles afire one after the other.'' Sources said that Maoists generally recce an area before targeting it, making sure that there is no Police movement. They then split into five-member groups for completing a task in the shortest possible time. "In Surjagad, they must have finished the task within 30 minutes, which means there must have been Maoists and militia members by hundreds on the spot," said a source.
