 | | Violence erupted in Gadchiroli on Sunday when a group of 20-25 uniformed Maoists torched a state transport bus near Kosmi, a village on the Maharashtra-Chhattisgarh border, after forcing the 20-odd bus passengers to alight. |
 | | The teams handling anti-Naxalite operations hope that quick implementation of a surrender policy announced by the Vilasrao Deshmukh government could curb the rebel influence in Gadchiroli, where 22 police personnel have been killed in the first six months of 2005, the highest in the past five years. |
 | | In fact, a group of 20 to 25 Naxalites are waiting for the policy to be implemented, and they would be willing to surrender immediately, said a police officer. |
