*Rajiv | Ranchi* Belying the claims of the State Government that Jharkhand is not under the grip of the ultra-left outfits and some of the districts are free from their violent activities, the intelligence sources have come out with appaling revelation that the entire State has currently fallen prey to six dreaded terrorist groups. According to the sources, activities of these groups are increasing alarmingly throughout the length and breadth of the State. The sources do admit that both the Central and State security forces are facing hard time in curbing the grave situation. The intelligence sources have identified that while Communist Party of India (Maoist) is the most potent and commanding outfit in the State, Jharkhand Liberation Tiger (JLT), Tritiya Sammelan Prastuti Committee (TSPC), Sangharsh Jan Mukti Morcha (SJMM), Sashastra People's Morcha and Jharkhand Prastuti Committee (JPC) too enjoy considerable clout in major parts of the State. The intelligence records refer to the fact that the breadth of CPI (Maoists)'s activities is spreading far and wide at an accelerated pace.
