Starting with the
Sept.11th action, the Bihar-Jarkhand units of the Peoples’ Guerrilla Army of the
PW Party, has launched an offensive against the enemy forces, putting them on
the defensive. In the course of just two months, there have been four successful
ambushes, killing roughly 30 para-military and police personnel and seizing a
number of weapons and ammunition. Besides these, the MCC has also launched a
series of attacks in this region, successfully hitting the enemy forces.
The Sept.11 ambush
took place in Kaimur district in the Chainpur Road area. In this action 6 jawans
of the Bihar Military Police (BMP) were killed and an SLR and carbine was
seized. The newspapers falsely reported that 3 naxalites were killed in the
action. The fact is that the PGA forces retreated without any loss.
Landmine blast by PGA in the Dhanrua Thana area of Patna
district
On Oct. 3rd, in the
Baghdad area of Gadva district the PGA ambush resulted in the death of 5
district police and serious injury to four others. Amongst the 5 killed was the
DSP of police. It was about 11 in the morning when the DSP was returning with a
convoy of 7 vehicles. His vehicle was the third. The guerrillas allowed two
vehicles to pass and specifically targeted the third vehicle. The landmine
blasted the vehicle to pieces, killing the 5 on the spot.
On Oct.19th, in the
Dhanrua Thana area of Patna district, 7 police personnel were killed in an
ambush. Amongst those killed were two notorious police officers attached to a
nearby police station. Police Inspector Subhash Kumar Suman, and Assistant
Sub-inspector Babulal Soren were notorious in the area for their repressive
measures. In the action, in which it is reported that about 100 people
participated, the guerrillas seized 5 .303 rifles, one carbine, one revolver and
some ammunition. After the action the police went on a rampage attacking people
and arresting all and sundry. But, when they raided the nearby villages only
cattle were to be found with the people having taken shelter elsewhere. This
action, near the state capital created panic amongst the enemy forces, with the
police in a state of near revolt against their officers. Huge compensations by
the Chief Minister and a visit by the RJD president helped diffuse the
situation.
On Nov. 21st six
persons, including five BMP jawans, were killed in a landmine blast triggered by
the PGA near Koirbigha village in Gaya district. The patrol party was on its way
to probe a shootout reported from Bhuiyan Tola, when they were ambushed. The
guerrillas seized 5 SLRs one carbine and a revolver from the ambush site.
With these successful
actions in this region, the PGA is growing in strength and the people are
realizing the significance and importance of having their own peoples’ army.
