The following news is from Kantipuronline:
Eleven policemen killed by rebels
KOL Report
BANKE, Nov. 30- Eleven policemen, including an officer, are dead after a police post in remote Kalikot district was attacked by Maoist rebels late Wednesday night, police said here Thursday.
According to the police a group of about 200-armed rebels attacked Kotwada Police post late yesterday night using bombs and light arms. The police post is reported to have been completely destroyed in almost 5 hour long fighting. Seven other policemen were wounded, one seriously, and one policeman is reported to be missing.
Police sources said Kotwada police post had 45 police personnel of the Striking force stationed there. 26 of them surrender to the rebels after the fighting.
Police reinforcements have been sent to the area, however, no further details are available as yet.
There are also reports of five others people, including two women, being killed in yesterday's fighting. But this has not been confirmed officially.
The rebels are also said to have blow-up a suspension bridge on the way to Kotwada in an apparent attempt to prevent the army from reaching the scene of the fighting. (rk)
****
The govt. is not even being able to protect it's own force forget about destroying the rebel force. And the govt. knows it quite well that those police posts in those maoist affected areas are not well equipped to threaten the rebel force. So, why the govt. is killing those policemen? Yes, rebels are firing at them but it is the government that is more responsible for the death of those policemen. If it cannot (and it, the govt., knows it) protect it's own police force against rebels then why in the world is it necessary to send them there in those death traps? Those poor policemen can't even secure their own lives how can they establish "santi surakshyaa" of the private citizens? I am so disgusted with the performance of the govt.
My heart and prayer goes for the killed ones.

Yes,Sparsha.It is really a sad news.Fight,fight and more fight..
Now that all dialogues are closed, the fight prospect becomes
even more vivid.Why the hell that damn Dinesh Sharma was put
in TV circus that day?
Doesn't it sound that either our policemen or the rebels are too
indoctrinated to fight against each other?
Because if the rebels think they are truly representing the poors,
then why they kill the policemen(apparently more jawans are killed
in the fights so far.And hey,no crorepati's son go to become only
jawan..)?
And why the policemen(the deceased one,may peace be upon their
soul) doesn't capitulate and save their life whenever they realise
that they can't fight the swarm of pugnacious rebels?
We,the fortunate witness like you and me who don't have to
shudder listening to the blind fusillades of the war zone,are
fortunate that we are at least temporarily out of the shadow of
terror of war.But if the government/rebels attitude doesn't
change, who knows how many of us will find ourselves defending
our and our relatives' life amidst the gunfire in our own village
in somewhat sunny and not so funny day of a grisly future?

Biswo, What I beleive is that Maoist group is nothing but a group of frustrated people. I sincerely and strongly certain that the majority of so called Maoists rebels have no clue who the hell Mao is and why in the world his name is associated with them. There may be some who are quite aware of Mao and Maoism( Baburam, for example) but most of them have nothing to do with maoism. In the name of Mao, they spit their frustration. So, What doctrine are we talking about? For Policemen, they are merely trying to get more pay by risking their lives may be to wed off their daughters or sisters, or may be to regain the properties that somewhere some "thalu" is enjoying as "bandhak" or may be to take mothers, wives, brothers, fathers..for health check up which never got any better even after "dhamis" shaking the house and walking away with couple "bokas and Kukhuras".

They are merely representing themselves and even that poorly.
>then why they kill the policemen(apparently

If they want revenge then why kill those poor jawans...they are not the source (they are just a flow).

Well, if they give up then the only job they have (may be after paying a hefty sum to some so called "Imandar, Ijjatdar source/forceful officer or person)will be gone for good. All the dreams will be shattered. They really are on doubleedge sword.
