A Maoist leader hailing from Jangipara in Hooghly has been entrusted with the responsibility of looking after this particular committee, the officer said adding that another Maoist leader from Jangipara has recently been inducted into the CC.

Now, it has been planning to set up separate ZCs in Nadia and Murshidabad, the official said requesting anonymity.The outfit, according to the official, has expanded its base in Burdwan and Birbhum as well. It is considering a proposal to form two separate ZCs in these two districts.

It's too simplistic to term a movement as terrorism or to paint the same in any color. Truly speaking,the situation is grave and Naxalism or the theory propounded by its founding fathers seems to represent a hapless section of the Indian populace that remains out the reach of the benefits of the State stucture.
In addition, it must be taken into consieration that Naxalism is no longer representing the idealist, urabanized romantic youngsters but an extensive rural population. There is again the need of a thorough analysis of its vivacity. Any notion of terrorism may make any individual or notion support State intervention that may become counter-productive in due course.
