On the first day, on 2nd December, two Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF) soldiers were injured due to an improvised explosive device (IED), which exploded in the police station area of Barsur. The repressive forces, trying to minimize the effect of the PLGA actions, suspended the Narayanpur-Orchha bus route.
Many posters were hung up celebrating the 23rd anniversary of the PLGA. The banners emphasized the necessity of recruitment, support base expansion and the fortification of the PLGA. Also there was a warning to CRPF, saying that if their camp remains in the Kolhan forest area, the Maoist will continue to pose a threat. Also they linked to the unjust war the CRPF is conducting against Kolhan people. Following this threat, an 8 kg IED was set, but it did not explode.
