|
| In June this year, Naxalites, as Communist extremists are called in the country, pumped several bullets into Vimal Meshram, the 42-year-old head of the Lohandiguda panchayat in the Bastar region of Chhattisgarh. He died on the spot. Meshram had supported Tata Steel’s proposed 5.5 million tonnes per annum steel project in the region. He had actively campaigned for the plant and even negotiated with the villagers to give up their land. Meshram, said a senior cop, had drawn the ire of the Naxalites for misappropriation of the money that was to be distributed to the people displaced by the steel project. |
