Indian Maoists resist Mittal's metal mining adventure in West Singhbhum district of Jharkhand

We are ready with a blueprint to prevent the Mittals’ entry into the region,” newly appointed Maoist spokesman, Rakeshji told media reporters.

“We will create another Singur in Karampada,” Rakeshji said, adding they would not allow the Mittals to exploit the state’s rich mineral wealth.

The Maoist attacks on SAIL properties come after a gap of almost four years. They were initially thought to be the usual Maoist violence, but Rakeshji’s warning revealed that the attacks carried a message.

Maoists target Steel Authority of India Limited (SAIL) and railway properties at Kiriburu and Karampada inside Saranda forests in Jharkhand’s West Singhbhum district. Barely 24 hours later they blow up SAIL’s Meghatuburu pump house in the same area. Maoists have resumed their attacks on SAIL and the railways in West Singhbhum district, but their real target appears to be the Lakshmi Mittal-owned ArcelorMittal.
