Maoists lift eight-month long ban in Jharkhand villages, want children to join cause | Maoists lifted the eight-month long economic and transport ban from 18 villages in Jharkhand's Palamu district. However villagers
are concerned over the efforts of Maoists to recruit local children to join their
cause . The members of Communist Party of India (Maoists) had banished all economic
activities and the movement of vehicles through the villages since January this
year, following the setting up by the Central government of a paramilitary India
Reserve Battalion (IRB) camp in Chuck village. The ban has been lifted by the
Maoists. "We are very happy today. The whole village is happy. The ban imposed
by the Maoists since January 1 on transport services will be lifted from tomorrow,"
said Jawahar Gupta, a local of Chuck village. Closed shops and lack of transport
facilities had affected the day-to-day activities. Many people in the villages
died due to medical emergencies and a lack of conveyance facilities. "The BKP
(Bharatiya Communist Party) Maoists have removed the economic blockade. The ban
has been lifted after eight months. People are very happy," said Lalwati, a resident
of Chuck. |
