Maoists plan to hold tenth Congress
Maoists are gearing up to hold their 10th Congress in the densely forested region of Abujhmad, in naxal-infested Bastar district of Chhattishgarh, according to intelligence inputs received by the state police.
Bastar Inspector General T J Longkumer said they have received infromation that Maoists leaders’ preparations are on in full swing. According to police, Naxals consider this thick jungle stretch as one of their safest venues to hold the crucial meet. The Congress, which is organised every five years, deliberates on the achievements and failures of the naxal movement.
Discussion takes place on funding, purchase and manufacture of explosives and weaponry, besides taking vital decisions on appointments and transfers of important cadres and office bearers along with the budget allocations for the next five years.
In view of the Congress, police are planning to beef up security and keep a strict vigil in and around Abujhmad, a region extending from naxal-hit South Bastar in Chhattisgarh to Gadchiroli in Maharashtra.
