In recent days, the PLGA under the leadership of the CPI(Maoist) has struck several blows to the old Indian state near the border between Maharashtra and Chhattisgarh.
On May 20, the combatants blocked a road near Kulbhatti-Gajamendha in north Gadchiroli-District by tree trunks and a banner, denouncing the murder of a comrade by reactionary forces, stopping a convoy of trucks. After the evacuation of the drivers the PLGA torched the four vehicles.
Only a few hours later a the PLGA attacked a Forest Department office in the same area. The Forest Department is heavily involved in the exploitation of people and nature, as well as in the reclamation of the forest to fight the people's war. The attackers also left a banner behind.
Just three days before two police staff were killed in the forest of Poyarkothi and Koparshi at Maharashtra-Chhattisgarh border in south Gadchiroli, including a high ranked sub inspector, four further police forces were wounded. The reactionary forces were on a search operation in the forest for already two days when they got ambushed by members of the PLGA. Apparently, the attackers were able to retreat without any losses.
