Maoist's announce 6-month ceasefire, renew appeal for peace talks
The CPI (Maoist) Telangana State Committee has declared a six-month ceasefire, effective immediately, while renewing its appeal for peace talks with the government. The decision follows intense pressure. Operation Kagar — a coordinated anti-Maoist offensive launched by security forces in the Karreguttalu hillocks — has put the Maoists on the run.
