Nearly 14 months after they fled from their homes in Maoist-hit West Midnapore district, CPI(M) leaders and supporters are venturing back, with the police attributing it to the improvement in the situation.
"I cannot say the situation is absolutely normal, but it is true that it has improved and will improve further. The elimination of Maoist and PCPA leaders like Sidhu Soren and Umakanta Mahato have created panic among the ultras," West Midnapore Superintendent of Police Manoj Kumar Verma said.
Soren, chief of the Sidhu-Kanhu Jana Militia, the armed wing of the Maoist-backed People Committee against Police Atrocities (PCPA), was among six ultras killed during a raid by CRPF and joint forces in Golatore area of the district on July 25, which was termed as a huge success.
Similarly, Umakanta Mahato, the prime suspect in the Jnaneswari Express sabotage of May 28 in which 148 passengers died and for whom a reward of Rs 1 lakh had been announced by the CBI, was killed in an encounter with joint forces in the Mohanpur forest near Lodhashuli on August 27
