Hunger Bengal weapon
The West Bengal administration on Monday changed tack and launched an attempt to alienate local residents from the Maoist rebels by distributing rice and relief materials to people in the poverty-stricken belt of West Midnapore district as well as some adjoining areas.
The hunt for the elusive ultra-left rebels continued at the same time, with the state government planning to send 10 more companies of the Central Reserve Police Force to Lalgarh. An undeclared ceasefire continued for the second consecutive day and the security forces remained on high alert.
As a goodwill gesture, the administration distributed relief materials to those “distressed and displaced” following the three-day battle between the Maoists and the forces.

It hurts to see our own people queing up in our country for quenching their hunger , through Govt doles . Something has gone terribly wrong ! How did the state Govt ever allow the Lalgarh situation to come to a stage where the Maoists were controlling police stations for a long time .
This is the result of double speak , vacillation and then crisis management of a self created crisis. The Maoist problem will aggravate if the CPM and other left parties do not speak the same language - politicisation of such a national issue would be inviting disaster!
