(For a Q+A on the Maoists, click [ID:nDEL189848] (Updates with separate Maoist attack) By Sujoy Dhar KOLKATA, India, June 18 (Reuters) – India began deploying hundreds of police on Thursday to push back Maoist rebels who declared a “liberated zone” close to the eastern city of Kolkata, sparking unease among investors in the communist-ruled state.The Maoists, who seek power through an armed struggle and say they are fighting for the rights of the poor, have killed at least 10 government supporters this week in a tribal area about 170 km (100 miles) from Kolkata, capital of West Bengal. In a separate attack, Maoist rebels killed nine policemen in a landmine blast on Thursday in the neighbouring state of Orissa, police said.

In West Bengal, the communists have been in power for more than three decades, but the Maoists, who operate from jungle bases, have expanded their support among villagers by tapping their resentment at the government’s recent pro-industry push. Hundreds of tribal men and women were seen patrolling villages in the Lalgarh area with bamboo sticks, axes and bows and arrows after the rebels declared it a “liberated zone” this week. “The operation has started to reclaim the region from the Maoists who captured all police posts (in Lalgarh) on Monday,” Kuldiep Singh, inspector general of police in West Bengal, told Reuters. “But we want to play it safe to ensure the civilian population is safe before we take any action.” The violence has unnerved the industrial sector after violent protests by farmers forced the scrapping of a Tata Motors’ (TAMO.BO) Nano car plant and a $3 billion chemicals hub complex. India’s JSW Steel Ltd (JSTL.BO), the country’s third largest steel producer, is setting up a $7 billion, 10-million tonne steel plant near Lalgarh.
