RAIPUR, OCTOBER 20th :
Striking in a big way after the announcement of two-phase Assembly elections in Chhattisgarh next month, Maoist rebels ambushed a team of Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF) personnel this afternoon, killing 12 and leaving six others wounded near a forest village between Modupal and Kompalli in Bijapur district.
The Maoists first triggered an explosion and then opened fire on the injured CRPF personnel. They escaped with weapons of the securitymen, including an Ak-47 assault rifle, two SLRs, a light machine gun and INSAS rifles, police said. Security forces have been rushed to the area to flush out the Maoists.
Bijapur SP Ankit Garg said the incident took place around 1.30 pm when CRPF men were patrolling the area, moving towards the Modupal base camp. They were attacked by large number of Maoists who first set off an explosion and then opened fire.
Police sources said three security personnel were killed in the blast while nine others were killed in the firing that followed. A Maoist was killed when the CRPF personnel returned fire. All the injured were taken to the district hospital in Bijapur from where they were being airlifted by helicopter to the Government medical college hospital in Raipur.

India: Maoists proclaim own government in tribal belt
Asian Age,
London Edition.
By Sanjay Basak
New Delhi
May 30: Taking control of the entire tribal belt stretching from Abujhmar, Bastar and Dandakaranya, the Maoists in Chhattisgarh have announced the formation and functioning of their first-ever parallel "revolutionary government". This "government" has also announced the formation of "ministries" of agriculture, finance, judiciary, health, school and culture and forests. The Chhattisgarh government appears to have completely lost control of this remote tribal-dominated region, over which soldiers belonging to the dreaded Peoples Liberation Guerrilla Army (PLGA) hold sway. While the Maoist health ministry is creating awareness on family planning and hygiene, the education ministry has come up with its own version of "revolutionary history." Attacks on the government-sponsore d "Salwa Judum" movement is a part of the "red" syllabus. A top central committee member, Comrade Sonu, told this newspaper: "We have rejected imperialist history and are teaching tribals about the revolution and of great heroes from their tribes." The outfit plans to set up similar revolutionary governments in other Maoist-infested states like Jharkhand and Orissa. Though there is no "foreign ministry" as such, the highest policymaking body, the central committee, maintains links with the coordination committee of Maoist parties and organisations of South Asia. In a telephonic conversation from Raipur, Chhattisgarh director-general of police, Mr Vishwa Ranjan, said, however, that the state police had been successful in "smashing" the Maoist bases and that the Naxalites were on the run. He claimed that the "so-called parallel government" had been made "defunct" by the police onslaught. He said that apart from forming a special task force, the state police was also coordinating with the Greyhound force of the Andhra Pradesh police in its battle against Maoists.
