Razing of the Qaracha communal farm

In December 1982, the PCP-SL completely razed the Qaracha Communal Farm, which was owned by Huancasancos. This event had important repercussions at the regional level. The razing of the farm was part of the PCP-SL's strategy of attacking not only police posts but also symbols of economic power and communal properties in the area. This event occurred in the context of the expansion of PCP-SL operations into the Huancasancos territory, which would generate unforeseeable consequences and the subsequent active rejection of a large part of the population.
