Hyderabad: The Telangana Communist Party of India (Maoist) announced the extension of the ceasefire for an additional six months in a statement released on November 3.
Hailing the Telangana government for its response “in line with the aspirations of the people,” a statement said, “Last May, we announced a ceasefire for 6 months. During these 5 months, we implemented the planned methods from our side and ensured that the peaceful atmosphere continued.”
Stating that “this is what the Telangana society wants to continue,” the Maoist party claimed that they will strive to maintain a peaceful atmosphere from their side.

They called on all citizens to actively resist the central government’s attempts to disrupt the atmosphere with clear public statements.
“We request all parties, various social groups, associations, students, intellectuals and democrats
to fight against the efforts of the central government with an open voice against such attempts.”This post was last modified on November 3, 2025 7:40 pm
