A paramilitary trooper keeps guard as tribal villagers gather to watch a surveillance helicopter in the violence-hit area of Lalgarh in the West Midnapore district, some 170 km (106 miles) west of the eastern Indian city of Kolkata, June 23, 2009. The growing Maoist insurgency in India over large swathes of the mineral-rich countryside could soon hurt some industrial investment plans just as the country suffers an economic slowdown.
