Approximately two dozen members of the People’s Liberation Guerrilla Army (PLGA), the militant arm of the banned Communist Party of India (Maoist), are suspected to be active in the forests of north Kerala.
Top sources told The Hindu that some of the members attached to the two dalams (armed squads) namely Banasura and Kabani, operating under the Southern Regional Bureau of the CPI (Maoist), had already been identified. Among them are C.P. Moideen, a zonal committee member commanding the Western Ghats, who remain elusive. Many others adopt assumed names to stay incognito.
