CPI (Maoist) Bharat Bandh passes off peacefully; night bus services to interior areas suspended
An eerie calm prevailed in the border villages of Mulugu and Bhadradri Kothagudem districts abutting the restive inter-State border with Chhattisgarh during the Bharat Bandh called by the CPI (Maoist) party on Tuesday. The CPI (Maoist) Central Committee gave the bandh call to protest the killing of its top leader and general secretary Nambala Keshava Rao alias Basavaraju in an encounter in Chhattisgarh's Narayanpur district on May 21. In view of the geographical proximity of Bhadradri Kothagudem's Charla mandal to Chhattisgarh's volatile areas of south Bastar region, the police intensified vigil along the border to prevent any untoward incidents in the forested region. Sources said that TGSRTC night bus services to interior areas on Bhadrachalam-Venkatapuram route in Bhadrachalam Agency were suspended on Tuesday as a safety precaution. Joint teams of the district police and CRPF personnel were deployed at vantage areas, along the inter-State border, as part of the stepped up vigil. In Mulugu district, the police heightened security in the forest areas in Wazeedu and Venkatapuram mandals, adjoining Chhattisgarh.

CPI (Maoist) reiterates its offer for peace talks, calls for immediate halt to Operation Kagar
Reiterating that the CPI (Maoist) is ready for peace talks, the banned outfit's North-West Sub-Zonal Bureau has renewed its call for halting the ongoing offensive against Maoists by security forces, which it called a 'surround and destroy' operation along the Chhattisgarh-Telangana border. A statement purportedly issued by Rupesh of the CPI (Maoist) called upon the government to stop the ongoing 'Operation Kagar' for one month to create a favourable environment for peace talks for the peaceful resolution of the problem through dialogue. The CPI (Maoist) Central Committee has already released letters expressing our party's readiness for peace talks as per the wish of all, he said, adding that the government's intention appears to be 'something else'. He said, 'Despite the opportunity to peacefully resolve the problem through dialogue, the government is trying to resolve it through repression and force.' 'As a consequence, the major offensive by security forces started on Bijapur-Telangana border. This has to be halted immediately and the security forces should be withdrawn,' Rupesh added.
