Manbazar II
Manbazar II is a community development block that forms an administrative division in the Manbazar subdivision of the Purulia district in the Indian state of West Bengal.
The Jaina Bhagavati-Sutra of the 5th century AD mentions that Purulia was one of the sixteen mahajanapadas and was a part of the kingdom known as Vajra-bhumi in ancient times. In 1833, the Manbhum district was carved out of the Jungle Mahals district, with headquarters at Manbazar. In 1838, the headquarters was transferred to Purulia. After independence, when Manbhum district was a part of Bihar, efforts were made to impose Hindi on the Bengali-speaking majority of the district and it led to the Bengali Language Movement (Manbhum). In 1956, the Manbhum district was partitioned between Bihar and West Bengal under the States Reorganization Act and the Bihar and West Bengal (Transfer of Territories) Act 1956.
106 districts spanning 10 states across India, described as being part of the 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.
The CPI (Maoist) extremism affected CD blocks in Purulia district were: Jhalda I, Jhalda II, Arsha, Baghmundi, Balarampur, Barabazar, Manbazar II and Bandwan. Certain reports also included the Manbazar I and Joypur CD blocks and some times indicted the whole of the Purulia district.
The Lalgarh movement, which started attracting attention after the failed assassination attempt on Buddhadeb Bhattacharjee, then chief minister of West Bengal, in the Salboni area of the Paschim Medinipur district, on 2 November 2008 and the police action that followed, had also spread over to these areas. 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 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 the CRPF and other forces started on 11 June 2009. The movement came to an end after the 2011 state assembly elections and the change of government in West Bengal. The death of Kishenji, the Maoist commander, on 24 November 2011, was the last major landmark.
Jamtoria is located at 22°53′58″N 86°37′59″E / 22.8994227°N 86.6330338°E.
The Manbazar II CD block is bounded by the Manbazar I CD block on the north, the Ranibandh CD block, in the Bankura district, on the east, the Bandwan CD block on the south and the Patamda CD block, in the East Singhbhum district of Jharkhand, and the Barabazar CD block on the west.
The Manbazar II CD block has an area of 285.81 km2. It has 1 panchayat samity, 7 gram panchayats, 75 gram sansads (village councils), 136 mouzas and 124 inhabited villages. Boro police station serves this block. Headquarters of this CD Block is at Boro. The District Census Handbook shows, in its map, Bargorya as headquarters of the Manbazar II CD block, but the website of the Manabazar II Block Development Officer mentions Boro as headquarters of the block. We are taking the latter information.
