Kolkata, July 7 (PTI) Life in the Maoist-hit areas of West Bengal''s Purulia, West Midnapore and Bankura districts was disrupted today on the first day of the two-day Bharat Bandh called by the ultras. All police stations and CRPF camps in the three districts were on a high alert. Though life was crippled in rural areas, it was normal in urban areas, district police sources said. Life was unaffected in Midnapore town as also in Bankura and Purulia towns, with government offices, courts, shops and markets open with the joint security forces on patrol, the sources said. The picture was just the opposite in rural areas, with roads deserted and shops and markets closed and people staying indoors, the sources said. South Eastern Railway has deployed Quick Response teams of the GRP, RPF and CRPF on trains and tracks on the Kharagpur-Rourkela and Kharagpur-Adra sections. Maoist leader Kishenji had called the bandh to protest the killing of top Naxal leader Azad alias Cherukuri Raj Kumar on July one in Adilabad in Andhra Pradesh, a day after Maoists killed dozens of CRPF men in Chhattisgarh.
