Lalgarh is a small town and a gram panchayat in the Binpur I CD block under the Jhargram subdivision of the Jhargram district in the Indian state of West Bengal.
Lalgarh came under media attention at the beginning of November 2008. The Communist Party of India (Maoist)[1] launched a massive fight against police personnel and cadres of the Communist Party of India (Marxist). In June 2009 Indian security forces launched Operation Lalgarh against the Maoists in the village.
