CPI Maoist organises medical camps in villages of Bihar, India

The Communist Party of India (Maoist) recently organised a six daylong medical camp for villagers in Parsawa village of Bihar. With the onset of monsoon, diseases like malaria and diarrhea grips the village, taking lives of almost 10-20 people every year.

Though, the Maoist insurgency has gripped nearly a third of the country, and is spreading into the interiors of 20 of India's 28 states, locals of this village are grateful to them for providing medical aid. Considered as one of the backward region, villagers complain of lack of proper medical facilities and doctors.
