Binpur II
Binpur II is a community development block that forms an administrative division in Jhargram subdivision of Jhargram district in the Indian state of West Bengal.
The Lalgarh movement started attracting attention after the failed assassination attempt on Buddhadeb Bhattacharjee, then chief minister of West Bengal, in the Salboni area, on 2 November 2008 and the police action that followed. The movement was not just a political struggle but an armed struggle that concurrently took the look of a social struggle. A large number of CPI (M) activists, and others active in different political parties, were killed. Although the epi-centre of the movement was Lalgarh, it was spread across 19 police stations in three adjoining districts – Paschim Medinipur, Bankura and Purulia, all thickly forested and near the border with Jharkhand. The deployment of CRPF and other forces started on 11 June 2009. The movement came to an end after the 2011 state assembly elections and change of government in West Bengal. The death of Kishenji, the Maoist commander, on 24 November 2011 was the last major landmark.
From 2009 Maoist violence had rapidly spread across eleven western CD blocks of the district: Binpur I, Binpur II, Salboni, Grahbeta II, Jamboni, Jhargram, Midnapore Sadar, Gopiballavpur I, Gopiballavpur II, Sankrail and Nayagram.
In an attack on a fortified camp of CRPF at Silda, West Bengal on 15 February 2010 a 100 strong heavily armed gang of Maoists killed 24 jawans.
106 districts spanning 10 states across India, described as being part of left wing extremism activities, constitutes the Red corridor. In West Bengal the districts of Paschim Medinipur, Bankura, Purulia and Birbhum are part of the Red corridor. However, as of July 2016, there had been no reported incidents of Maoist related activities from these districts for the previous 4 years. In the period 2009-2011 LWE violence resulted in more than 500 deaths and a similar number missing in Paschim Medinipur district.
The Chota Nagpur Plateau gradually slopes down creating an undulating area with infertile laterite rocks/ soil. In Binpur II CD block 95% of the cultivated area has lateritic soil and 5% has alluvial soil. Binpur II CD block is drought prone with a particularly severe drought situation.
Belpahari is located at 22°31′56″N 86°38′45″E / 22.5322195°N 86.6457367°E.
Binpur II CD block is bounded by Raipur and Ranibandh CD blocks in Bankura district in the north, Binpur I CD block in the east, Jamboni CD block and Ghatshila CD block in Purvi Singhbum district of Jharkhand in the south and Bandwan CD block in Purulia district in the west.
