A zilla parishad (district level local self-Government institution) member and five panchayat samiti (village level local self-Government institution) members in the Maoist affected Bhamragarh tehsil (revenue unit) of Gadchiroli District submitted their resignations on May 1, citing threats from the Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist). “Four members of Bhamragadh’s panchayat samiti, including the chairman and the deputy chairman, resigned on Tuesday morning. A woman member of the zilla parishad also resigned after receiving threats to her life from the Naxals,” said Ravidas Raut, former corporator in the District. According to Raut, ironically, the resignations were tendered even as Maharashtra Home Minister R.R. Patil, who is also the guardian minister of the Gadchiroli District, was briefing the media that such resignations would not be accepted by the Government. The panchayat members who resigned are Gangaram Bhandekar, Vijay Kudyani, Subrato Haldar, Khushal Madavi and Bharat Zhade. The Congress’ zilla parishad member from Nelgunda Arewada sector of the Bhamragarh area Madni Bogami also resigned from her post. Earlier last week, several representatives of political parties too had tendered their resignations.

Another 20 Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist) affected Districts will get additional central fund from the Home ministry under Security Related Expenditure (SRE) scheme that aims to build Police capacity to fight the CPI-Maoist. Though these 20 Districts are least affected by Maoist violence, the Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA) has recently included them in the list -- expanding it from 83 to 103 -- to develop them as 'buffer' between severely Maoist affected Districts and those that are unaffected by their presence.

Union Home Secretary R.K. Singh has pointed fingers at some State Governments saying they lack “commitment’’ in fighting the Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist) threat, reports Deccan Chronicle. According to him, in these States, the local Police is not taking the “initiative’’. Speaking before a Parliamentary Panel about the problems being faced in “tackling the menace of Naxalism’’ in April, Singh said that he wants to be “frank’’ while making his observations. “The operations, in which our forces (Central forces) are engaged, are very difficult for our forces for a number of reasons. Again, I will be very frank. Our forces go to the state, they are from outside. It is the state police force which has local knowledge and local intelligence which is supposed to have the ground-level intelligence; they are supposed to know the situation on the ground. They are supposed to have sources in the rural areas to find out as to where these armed groups are. The Central Armed Police Forces are supposed to assist them. Unfortunately, we find that in some states, I will not say all states, this is happening, but in some states this is not happening,” he said.

In the other attack, a group of armed Maoists killed Balaram Naik (35), a marginal farmer at Tentuligumma, suspecting him to be a Police informer at Tentuligumma under Boipariguda block (administrative division) in Koraput District. "The Maoists took Naik with them in the night and on the day after, locals spotted the bullet-riddled body of Naik lying in a pool of blood, about 2 km from the village," a source at Boipariguda said. A letter recovered from the incident site stated that Naik was ‘punished’ as he was working as a Police informer and was passing information to Police regarding the movement of the Maoists in the area. However, Sub-Divisional Police Officer (SDPO) of Jeypore Utkal Ranjan Das said, "The victim was neither our informer nor we have ever received any information from him. Most of the time the Maoists kill civilians to settle scores and label them as Police informers to escape the ire of villagers."

In another instance of militants of north-eastern outfits taking shelter in the national capital, Delhi and conducting illegal activities, the special cell has arrested a top cadre of Manipur based militant outfit belonging to Vice Chairman group People’s Revolutionary Party of Kangleipak (PREPAK-VC). The militant, identified as Wahengbam Nanao was involved in several attacks and extortion activities in the region, sources said.

Earlier, Police had mistaken him as the famous Nanao Singh, a member of United National Liberation Front (UNLF), who was also in the wanted list of National Investigation Agency (NIA). According to sources, Nanao was staying in Gandhi Vihar area of North Delhi for the past one year and he would make extortion calls to businessmen and individuals in the northeastern States. After Nanao's arrest, city Police informed the Manipur Police and he was taken away. Several documents have been seized from him. "PREPAK and many other northeastern militant groups like UNLF operate in a similar way — their members settle in the capital, make extortion calls and get the money transferred in their bank accounts," said a source.

The Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist) has a clear idea and strategy and would not resort to indiscriminate kidnappings, the party's ‘east division secretary’ Ganesh has said, reports The Hindu. “We know whom to kidnap but the reason and other details cannot be disclosed since it is party's strategy and an internal matter,” the Maoist party leader told some journalists at an interior place in Visakhapatnam District on May 3. Every kidnapping incident has a purpose and a reason, he asserted. All kidnappings were done by different State branches of the party, he said. The party would not kidnap every State Government official, Ganesh said. He said that the Project Officer of Integrated Tribal Development Authority (ITDA)-Paderu, K. Srikanth Prabhakar had visited interior villages Busiputtu and Kannavaram, the Revenue Divisional Officer (RDO) of Paderu and other officials too were going on tours to interior villages sometimes but they were not kidnapped. “We are asking the officials to visit interior areas and solve people's problems bogey. We are very clear that everyone must be provided with education, drinking water and medical care. We will not interfere in these areas,” Ganesh said.

The Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist) has managed to consolidate its position considerably during the suspension of the armed operations against them in the wake of certain recent high profile kidnappings, reports Deccan Chronicle. Most of these gains have been made in Odisha and Chhattisgarh. This has been revealed in a classified report, in possession of Deccan Chronicle, sent out by the Central intelligence agencies last week to Maoist-infested States. The report further goes on to add that even the intelligence gathering mechanism came to a halt in view of the kidnappings. Importantly, according to the secret note, the Maoists used this period — when Security Forces were not on their trail — to lay out a vast network of landmines.

The Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist) is getting ready to declare a guerrilla zone in south India, reports The Times of India. It includes the tribal areas in the Western Ghats in Kerala, Karnataka and Tamil Nadu. The group has already alerted its over-ground cadre in these States of the possible 'police repression' in the event of a sensational action that would mark the declaration of the guerrilla zone. Sources said the declaration had been delayed following an encounter between the Anti-Naxal Force (ANF) and the Maoists at Belthangady in Karnataka on March 10, 2012. The ANF recovered large quantity of arms and ammunition, besides Maoist literature in Malayalam, Kannada and Tamil from the camp in Belthangady after the encounter. It is learnt that ANF also seized detailed maps of the area of the proposed guerrilla zone from the camp. This exposed the Maoists' plans, forcing them to delay the declaration of the guerrilla zone.

Suspected Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist) cadres abducted an Assistant Sub-Inspector (ASI) of Police a little before noon, tied his hands and legs and shot him dead under a tree in Nuapada District on May 8, reports The Times of India. Enquiries revealed that Krupa Ram Majhi, ASI of Dharmabandha Police outpost, on a motorcycle, was escorting a water tanker to a Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF) camp at Goudha near Sunabeda sanctuary when the incident took place. Just about two km from the camp, the Maoists first blank-fired. As the ASI stopped his two-wheeler they surrounded him. While some took him away to the forest at gun point, others in the group detached the tractor hauling the water tanker, pulled it to the forest and set it ablaze. The Maoists, however, did not harm Constable Debnarayan Sahoo accompanying Majhi. As they vanished into the forest, Sahoo fled from the place and informed local villagers and authorities about the incident. Later the dead body of Majhi was recovered by the Police from a neighbouring forest in the sanctuary. Police suspect that the incident was the handiwork of the Maoists' Mainpur division, headed by one Sujatha, which operates in Nuapada and bordering Districts of Chhattisgarh.

In most of the cases of ceasefire violations, Pakistan tries to aid infiltration but on some occasions such violations were not related to attempted intrusions, said an unnamed senior Army officer. There are areas along the LoC, which can be used for attempting intrusions but ceasefire violations in the areas where they (Pak) don’t have any scope to try and push militants to this side are done with a purpose of diverting attention of Indian troops. Besides, these are intended to express solidarity with the militants as well, he added. Pakistani troops resort to such ceasefire violations to boost sagging morale of the remaining ultras on this side of the LoC, which, in real sense, is just a deceiving tactic, he added.

Though the marginal decline does not show any trend but Pakistan’s intentions are still the same-- to somehow keep the pot boiling in Jammu and Kashmir”, they added. Similarly, there were 12 infiltration bids on the LoC south of Pir Panjal ranges in 2011.There have been six infiltration attempts south of Pir Panjal ranges in 2012 so far. The number stood at seven during the corresponding period in 2011, the sources said. “There is no change on the ground vis-à-vis ceasefire violations and infiltration bids. To put it more accurately, Pakistan is still up to its task,” they said.

Naxals (Left-Wing Extremists) have now virtually gained control over illicit mining of not just coal but also minerals, including the cash-rich iron ore, across States of their dominance, reports Deccan Chronicle.

Rediff reports that more than 100 youths, who had gone to Pakistan occupied Kashmir (PoK) for arms training during the last two decades, have quietly returned home following the announcement of rehabilitation policy for them by the Jammu and Kashmir Government in November 2010. An unnamed senior intelligence official said around 1300 youths, through various channels, had expressed their desire to shun the path of violence and return to Kashmir in order to lead a normal life. Out of these, 109 youths have come home from different routes and the officials did not want to divulge any details as their return has been kept a low profile affair in view of threat perception to their lives. However, sources said the most preferred route taken by the youths to return home was via Nepal. "They fly to Nepal on a Pakistani passport and then travel as Indian citizens back home as Indians need not carry passport for travel to and fro Nepal," sources said.

The news report states that NLFT militants had abducted 32 indigenous people, mostly farmers, at gunpoint from remote areas under Raisyabari and Damcherra Police Stations. While 24 of them returned home safely, the remaining eight reportedly died in rebel custody. The News report quoting a source from the Special Branch (intelligence wing) of State Police said the outfit had always stepped up activities in the run-up to Assembly polls since 1983 and the current year “should be no exception”. “They have become weak over the past nine years and cannot do much to disrupt the polls. Given a chance, they may even surrender. What they want is political concession as given earlier to Tripura National Volunteers (TNV) in 1988, but the Left Front will never give any such thing to the rebels,” the source said. The source further said that Tripura State Rifles camps were still in place in strategic areas to prevent movement of militants within the state from bordering areas and these camps would be further strengthened.

National Socialist Council of Nagaland-Isak-Muivah (NSCN-IM) accused the NSCN-Khole-Kitovi of “attempting to sabotage” its 14 years of negotiations with the Government of India (GoI) by seeking “political settlement within the boundary of the so-called Nagaland state”, the NSCN-Khole-Kitovi on May 15 responded to clarify “certain misgivings” from NSCN-IM. In a statement, Alezo Venuh, leader of NSCN-Khole-Kitovi pointed out that since the formation of the Forum for Naga Reconciliation (FNR) in 2008, NSCN-Khole-Kitovi was “very vocal” that a meaningful reconciliation among Nagas would not be forthcoming as long as NSCN-IM leadership “believed in having reconciliation process and political negotiations running parallel to each other.” Asserting that reconciliation process included all sections of Nagas, Venuh asserted that one could not say the same about the negotiations between GoI and NSCN-IM “because Nagas are still in the dark about the core demands and the progress or lack of it.” Affirming its position on the question of the word “Nagaland”, he said the word “Nagaland” encompassed “all Naga lands” irrespective of national or international boundary demarcations.

Meghalaya Chief Minister Mukul Sangma made it clear that his Government would not hold any dialogue with the proscribed Garo National Liberation Army (GNLA) The Sentinel on May 16 reported. The Chief Minister said, “After the people’s defiance, the government’s decision not to succumb to their pressure tactics has become more pronounced.” Speaking about the hardship encountered by the people of Garo Hills due to the 144-hour GNLA sponsored bandh (shut down) in the first week of this month, Sangma stated, “Our government cannot turn a blind eye to the sufferings of the people created by such groups. The government will not go for any dialogue with the GNLA because we have seen militancy is more of an industry in the State.” He substantiated his points by illustrating the emergence of multiple militant outfits in Garo Hills after the suspension of the ceasefire between the Government and the Achik National Volunteer Council (ANVC). Even as he spoke about the multi-pronged approach to bring about development and “to stop the youths from being lured by the fantasy of militancy”, he asserted that the fight against militancy will carry on through police operations and other developmental works.

Top Communist party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist) leaders, including one Moina Dohotiya are actively involved in the outfit's expansion into the northeast, reports Times of India. The report quotes a source within the security establishment as saying, "There are about 100 listed cadres and they have three carbines, a couple of .315 rifles and pistols, few grenades and one M16 rifle. In the middle and lower Assam regions, they are probably at a very nascent stage. We have not observed any Maoist activity in these places". The source further said, “The Maoists have so far recruited youths from the state and few Khamti boys from Arunachal Pradesh. However, unlike Jharkhand, there is just a sprinkling of Adivasi youths here. There are couple of youths from Goalpara and Kamrup district but the majority are from Dibrugarh, Tinsukia and Golaghat districts and many from Dhemaji and Lakhimpur districts".

The Union Cabinet has cleared a INR 85 billion rural roads package to ensure growth and remove Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist) influence in forested tribal areas, reported The Economic Times. The three-year roads programme, under the Pradhan Mantri Gram Sadak Yojana (PMGSY), will provide connectivity to 6,000 habitations in 78 Maoist-affected Districts, which have been left out of the core network. "This is a major step as it fulfills a long-standing demand of states. Whenever I travelled in Maoist-hit areas, this demand has kept coming up. The PMGSY is the single-most important rural development intervention that can significantly transform the ground-level situation in these Districts.

This means that despite repeated orders from the court, the accused failed to appear before it and therefore the investigating agency has the right to attach their properties.

Jagannath Soren alias Hero who served as bodyguard to Kishanji was the first to lay down his arms, followed by six others who were part of various Maoist squads in the District. Among the arms surrendered were a 5.56 Insas Rifle and .315 and .303 rifles and country-made firearms with more than a hundred rounds of ammunition.

Union Home Minister P Chidambaram called for adopting legal course for all Kashmiri militants, who were returning from Pakistan and PoK via Nepal unless they fell in the category of Rehabilitation Policy adopted by the Jammu and Kashmir Government. Nearly 150 persons, including militants, their Pakistani wives and children have returned from Pakistan and PoK during past one and a half years especially after the announcement of Rehabilitation Policy by the State Government, which had been approved by the Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA). The MHA approved Rehabilitation Policy had fixed four routes—Poonch-Rawlakote, Uri-Muzaffarabad (both on Line of Control in Jammu and Kashmir), Wagah International Border in Amritsar, Punjab and Indira Gandhi International (IGI) Airport in New Delhi for return of the militants. However, the militants from these four routes could return only with Pakistan permission as two LoC routes required permits approved by Designated Authority of PoK while two other routes needed Pakistan passports and visas. The Screening Committee had received 800 applications from families of the militants of Jammu and Kashmir camping in Pakistan and PoK for past several years but cleared only 175 of them.

Meghalaya has taken steps to prevent spillover effects of the movement of Maoists in Assam. With the State sharing its border with Assam, there are concerns of intrusion of Maoists into Meghalaya. However, Meghalaya Police have allayed the fears, saying there are no reports of presence of Maoists here. There were reports in the past that considering the poverty in West Khasi Hills and other border districts, Maoists could make their presence felt by taking up the people’s cause. “We don’t have any Maoist activity here and there are no reports of any intrusion.

According to an official statement, there are about 39 Hmar families which came to Mizoram as victims of an ethnic clash in Jatinga in Dima Hasao District. The statement of the Mizoram Government was issued after some vernacular dailies alleged that some of the families belonged to the Mizo-Kuki ethnic group and hence should not be considered Mizos. They were denied Government benefits like rural job cards and enrolment as voters. The Hmar Students’ Association in the Hmar stronghold of Kolosib District in north Mizoram has objected to the stand of the State Government.

Despite the absence of top National Socialist Council of Nagaland-Isak Muivah (NSCN-IM) leaders, the Forum for Naga Reconciliation (FNR) held its meeting for reconciling rival Naga groups in Chiang Mai, Thailand, on May 26. NSCN-Khole-Kiotovi ‘chairman’ Khole Konyak and ‘general secretary’ Kitovi Zhimomi, Naga national Council (NNC) ‘president’ Singnya and ‘vice president’ Zhopra Vero attended the meeting. The meeting, convened "to hammer out Naga political differences", was FNR's attempt to create a space to constructively address all misunderstandings between various groups and bring rebel leaders to transcend factional interest for the Naga future. NSCN and NNC leaders said it would not be appropriate in the absence of the NSCN-IM to take any decision affecting the future of the Nagas which must be rooted in the historical and political rights of the Nagas "established by the leaders of the Naga political movements." They added that they were committed to seeking reconciliation for the greater cause of Nagas. The leaders jointly echoed that another meeting with top leaders of all the groups will be convened at the earliest as the differences need to be sorted out face to face. FNR said, "Since we are faced with numerous problems, we are trying to resolve them through collective understanding, for which we have been undertaking this "journey of common hope."

A spokesman of little known militant group, Islamic Front (IF), owned responsibility for the May 30 attack and claimed that five Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF) personnel were injured in the attack. Security agencies suspected that the IF might be a shadow outfit of Lashkar-e-Toiba (LeT). Inspector General of Police (IGP, Kashmir) S M Sahai, said that this could be a handiwork of militant group that has come from outside Srinagar. However, sources said that their (militant) presence inside Srinagar can't be ruled out. They said that LeT is operating in small modules that are faceless.

As reported earlier, seven CRPF personnel were injured, one of them critically, as two motorcycle-borne militants opened indiscriminate firing on them at Victory Crossing near Khanyar area of Srinagar on May 30.

reports said that a Mitsubishi Outlander car bearing Maharashtra's registration No. MH02AY 7867 might be linked to September 7, 2011, blast outside Delhi High Court, which had been planned and executed by a Kishtwar based module of different militant outfits. The car, which was seized from Kishtwar town in the night of May 29, has been seized by Kishtwar Police and was traced to missing Bollywood and Lollywood actor Laila Khan's family.
