Security forces on Monday registered a major victory against the Maoists reclaiming rebel strongholds Ramgarh and Lalgarh without any resistance. Not a single bullet was fired and not even one rebel leader was arrested as two batches of troops moving in from Lalgarh and Ramgarh for the final assault met at Katapahari securing the entire zone which had been out of bounds for West Bengal administration for the last eight months. But security forces still apprehend counterattacks from armed Maoists who for now have been pushed back.

West Bengal Chief Minister Buddhadeb Bhattacharjee's three-tier prescription to combat the Maoists is indeed the need of the hour but the irony is that it took the government 32 years, numerous political killings, a paramilitary flush out operation, and an extremely sorry state of tribal conditions in Bengal to realise the truth.

Maoists have taken control of Lalgarh in West Bengal barely 100 km from Kolkata. Over 50,000 tribals rallied behind the Maoists sporting automatic weapons, torching all CPI-M establishments in the area and attacking their leaders.
