Bangalore: As the Special Forces gun down its leaders, the Naxalite movement is looking for different strategies to carry forward its highly revolutionary ideologies. According to the intelligence officials, the rebels have planned out strategies to infiltrate into India’s industrial cities, leaving behind their old fortress of dense forests in India’s poorest of poor villages.
It was reported that the Communist Party of India (Maoist) has created a 'Golden Corridor Committee’ to establish its base in major industrial hubs especially in Gujarat and Maharashtra. The plan has strategically notified major cities like Pune, Mumbai, Surat, Ahmedabad and Vadodara etc as potential targets to spread the red corridor. This move is said to be an attempt to divert the movements focus to cash rich industrial towns such as financial capital Mumbai and diamond hubs of Surat and Vadodara.
Their increased activities came to light when a number of people belonging to the banned outfit were arrested and interrogated in Maharashtra, including 10 Maoists presumably from West Bengal apprehended in Pune. They were working under the pretext of casual laborers in various industrial units.
As part of their expansion plans of the Golden Corridor Committee, the extreme left group is in a recruitment drive in states such as Gujrarat and Maharashtra. Reading between the lines, the message is slowly becoming clearer that the so-called safe parts of India, notably the western India is already in the terror map for the left-wing extremists and would stage their terror activities henceforth. Maharashtra has seen an incredible number of incidents of Naxal presence especially in Chandrapur, Gadchiroli and Gondia and according to the latest reports, the outfit plans to expand their activities to other districts such as Bhandara, Nagpur, Yavatmal and Wardha. Over 221 deaths were reported in the stated in naxal incidents from 2008 to 2011.
