The Special Cell of Delhi Police have arrested two suspected cadres of the Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist) for allegedly planning to send a consignment of arms and ammunition to their outfit in Jharkhand, reports The Times of India. Sources said the arrest of Dilip and Arun has also revealed the nexus between the banned group, People's Liberation Army (PLA), and Maoists. The Police claim they have the accused's laptop that contains important information related to future Maoist operations. "The laptop also has information about a training camp to be jointly organized by PLA and Naxals [Left-Wing Extremists] in Myanmar," said a source. During interrogation, the accused reportedly told Police they were planning to send a huge arms consignment to the Maoists in Ranchi (Jharkhand) so that the insurgents could carry out fresh attacks on Security Forces deployed in Maoist-affected areas. However, officers said the Police were yet to recover the consignment, and the two suspects had come to Delhi to plan a safe route to deliver it.

Two landmines, believed to be embedded with sensors, were defused at Saroa village in Salboni area of West Midnapore District on October 2, reports The Times of India. Local villagers said while one was spotted on a culvert, the other was lying barely 300 meters away from it. Police said the joint operation is already under way and such a tactic by the Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist) to cause collateral damage can't be ruled out in the near future too. The place where the mines were placed is an important transit point for the forces and is frequented by villagers. Police later launched a search operation and recovered 10 sacks full of sulphur and sodium nitrate from Kendudanga village under Sankrail Police Station.

With Tirap and Changlang Districts of Arunachal Pradesh becoming a hotbed of militant activities, the Government has decided to launch a full scale operation in the area. Highly placed security sources told The Assam Tribune that the militants belonging to the United Liberation Front of Asom (ULFA) normally use two major routes to enter India from the camps in Myanmar. One of the routes is through the Mon District of Nagaland and the other through the Tirap and Changlang Districts. But in recent times, the ULFA cadres are mostly using the route through Arunachal Pradesh and launching of an offensive in that area would make it difficult for the militants to maintain the shelters in the place. Sources revealed that, both National Socialist Council of Nagaland-Isak-Muivah (NSCN-IM) and NSCN-Khaplang (NSCN-K) have strong bases in Tirap and Changlang and the militants belonging to the outfits are engaged in extortion and other illegal activities. The outfits even went to the extent of demanding money from some of the legislators of the area and in recent times, the NSCN-IM was also involved in meddling in the political affairs of the State. The outfit also reportedly tried to launch an offensive against the Jarbom Gamlin Government after the Chief Minister approached the Centre with the request to launch an offensive in the area. In addition to both factions of the NSCN and ULFA, the Left Wing Extremists groups are also trying to establish roots in Tirap and Changlang and concerned over the developments, the Government is planning an offensive in the area.

Assam Tribune reports that illegal firearms being channeled into the North East (NE) are going to emerge as a major concern in maintaining law and order in a region already infested by dozens of insurgents and subversive groups. Apart from pistols and revolvers, semi-automatic weapons with considerable fire power are being brought into the region. At times American and European weapons have also been recovered from insurgents, which reveal the demand for high-quality firearms. “Firearms are being brought in by several insurgent outfits on their own, or by middlemen who have contacts in Myanmar and China. Some of these are sophisticated pieces commanding good prices. These already pose a grave risk to innocent people of the region,” a senior intelligence operative said. The threat from illegal firearms is not confined to the region, as some of those can be ferried to other parts of the country. Although, it is yet to be fully corroborated, there are reports that some consignments of illegal firearms brought from across the border into the North East have found their way to the neighbouring States.

The Union Home Ministry has asked the West Bengal Government to relieve more than 1,000 Central Armed Police Force personnel in an apparent message that the authorities were not making proper use of them for anti-Naxal [Left Wing Extremism] operations. In a letter, the Union Home Ministry asked West Bengal to relieve one of the six battalions sent to the State to conduct anti-Naxal operations in Maoist-hit West Midnapore, Purulia and Bankura Districts, official sources said. "Most of the central forces are sitting idle and so there is no point keeping them in West Bengal. The main purpose of sending the forces to the state was to conduct anti-Naxal operations. Since they are not deployed for the job, we want to move them to Chhattisgarh," a source said.

The Indian Air Force (IAF) will dispatch two of its Mi-17iv helicopters to the Jharkhand Government for logistic support in anti-Maoist operations being jointly conducted by Police and the Central Armed Police Force, reports The Pioneer. It is yet to be known whether or not these will be fitted with light machine-guns since the IAF had asked the Centre to allow for retaliatory action in case its helicopters are attacked by the Maoists. The Centre had promised to provide as many as 23 choppers to these States. Aware of the shortage of the IAF choppers since a good number of these were deployed in the United Nations mission in Congo, the Centre also mulled the proposal to hire them from private players and initially made a provision for 13 choppers to ferry troops and supplies to Maoist zones under operation, reducing the figure to six later on.

"The statement was signed on September 30 and there was an embargo till October 3 and after that the content of the statement was released to the media," Bhadra said. When asked whether it was a unilateral decision taken by the ultras, Bhadra said "It is never unilateral because if the government promises to stop joint operation then only the Maoist will restrain arms but it is a positive move which will provide scope for a dialogue."

He appears to be the key link,” said an official. Wasim’s will be the third arrest in the case. The agency had earlier arrested Aamir Abbas and Abid Hussain, both residents of Kishtwar. results of the polygraph test performed on at least one of the accused picked up from Kishtwar in Jammu and Kashmir have indicated HuJI hand in the September 7, 2011 Delhi high court blast, reports DNA. Sources in the Union Home Ministry said that in the polygraph test, the accused confessed having first an initial meeting in July and then a larger meeting with three Bangladeshi men at a mosque in Jammu on September 3, four days before the blast, to decide on the place of the terror attack. The two accused, Amir Abbas Dev and Abid Hussain, suspected of having played a hand in the Delhi high court blast, were picked up by the NIA, with the help of Jammu and Kashmir Police, after the investigators traced the first email sent to media houses to an internet cafe in Kishtwar.

Assam Power Minister Pradyut Bordoloi said the state government has proof that Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist) is trying to gain foothold in the Northeast by trying to organise protests against Hydel Power Projects, reports Economic Times. Bordoloi on October 7 said, "Opposing mega power projects and gaining foothold among people is the new modus operandi of Left-wing extremism. We have evidence to substantiate that Maoists are looking to make inroads in Sadiya area of the Tinsukia District". An officer with one of the intelligence agencies said the growing presence of Naxals [Left Wing Extremists] in the Tinsukia District, a stronghold of the Anti-Talks faction of United Liberation Front of Asom (ULFA-ATF) and adjoining District of Arunachal Pradesh was a security concern. Maoists have initiated a recruitment drive in the area and are targeting the youth of the area. Bordoloi further said, "To counter Maoist influence, we are initiating developmental measures. We will install transmission line along the Dholla-Sadiya Bridge. This bridge over river Brahmaputra will cut down the traveling time between Assam and Arunachal Pradesh".

The Sentinel reports that representatives of major civil societies and political parties in Mizoram which conducted joint verification of the repatriated Bru refugees in Mizoram-Tripura border in Mamit District on October 11 claimed to find more than 100 Brus who were not bona fide residents of the State. J Lalsailova, financial secretary of the central committee of the Young Mizo Association (YMA) said that the joint verification exercise was undertaken by three representatives each of the YMA and the Mizo Zirlai Pawl (MZP) or Mizo Students’ Federation and two representatives each of major political parties - the ruling Congress, the Mizo National Front (MNF) and the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) during September 19 and 23. The teams visited the villages where repatriated Brus were resettled and conducted the verification in the presence of the Bru Coordination Committee leaders, Lalsailova said, adding that more than 100 repatriated refugees were identified as those not belonging to Mizoram. “We will make the final compilation and would submit the list to the state government for further action,” he said. Thousands of Brus, who fled Mizoram during the later part of 1997 and also in 2009 due to ethnic tension, returned to Mizoram since November 2010 and were resettled in Mamit District.

The Telegraph reports that the Meghalaya Government has sought more time to finalise the long-pending demands of the Garo hills-based militant outfit, the Achik National Volunteers Council, (ANVC) despite the Centre’s request to speed up the process. Chief minister Mukul Sangma, during his recent visit to Delhi, met Union home minister P. Chidambaram and discussed the settlement of ANVC’s demands. The key demands of the ANVC, currently in ceasefire, include creation of a Garoland autonomous council on the lines of the Bodoland Territorial Council and direct funding from the Centre for the administration of the proposed council. The Centre had earlier sought the state’s views on ANVC’s demands and subsequently a high-level committee was formed to give its final views on the issue. The ANVC had submitted its charter of demands to the Prime Minister and the home minister besides the state political leaders. However, the State Government has viewed the demand of the ANVC to have a separate council and to have direct funding from the Centre as a contentious issue, which required further deliberation.

With increase in the presence of militants across the Line of Control (LoC), the Army has deployed additional troops in priority areas to counter infiltration in the State ahead of snowfall, reports Daily Excelsior. "According to Intelligence reports, strength of militants across (the LoC) has crossed all proportions. At present, opposite Shamsabari (range) and Uri, there are 600 militants," said General Officer Commanding (GOC) of Srinagar-based 15 Corps Lieutenant General Syed Ata Hasnain on October 11. He added, "Attempts will be made everywhere. There is a window of two months before winter. This is a dangerous window." However, he said, the counter-infiltration grid has been redoubled to meet the challenge of infiltration putting the number of militants killed this year 80. He said 30 to 40 militants have managed to infiltrate. He said forces have an opportunity to "break the back of militancy" in the State as 19 top militant ‘commanders’ of Lashkar-e-Toiba (LeT) and Hizb-ul-Mujahideen (HM) have been killed so far this year. "There is a realisation that 2011 is an important year. We can actually break the back of militancy this year... If they cannot bring militants in (to Kashmir) by next year, I can assure you we have turned the tables in Kashmir," he added. IBN Live reports Chief Minister Omar Abdullah has asked the Union Home Minister not to plan Armed Forces Special Powers Act (AFSPA) withdrawal from entire state, but from sections where army is no longer required. "Would want Disturbed Areas Act [DAA] and AFSPA to go," said Abdullah. "We have to see the areas where the footprints of Army was minimal and then go for revocation of DAA and subsequently AFSPA'', Omar said, adds Daily Excelsior.

Anti-Talks faction of United Liberation Front of Asom (ULFA-ATF) in an email statement stated that as the Central government for long has been taking advantage of the discord among various outfits of the region. Way back in 1985, ULFA had proposed to Nationalist Socialist Council of Nagaland (NSCN-IM) ‘General Secretary’ Thuinglang Muivah to initiate a unity move among the outfits, as the government would try to play the divisive game and create fratricidal killings. Had the unity move taken place then, the movement for sovereignty in the northeastern states would have been at a different stage today.

He further said, “Anup was the first among the top ULFA leaders to speak in favor of having a dialogue with the government to arrive at a solution years back”.

About three weeks after the murder of Jagabandhu Majhi, the Biju Janata Dal (BJD) Member of Legislative Assembly (MLA) representing Umerkote assembly constituency and his Personal Security Officer (PSO) Prasanta Kumar Patra at Gonahatapadar village under Raighar Police Station in Nabarangpur District on September 24, the Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist) cadres of Mainpur division of Chhattisgarh claimed that they killed Majhi as he was extorting and getting many people killed in their name, reports India Express. The claim was made on October 13 through The Samaj, a local newspaper. “We are aware of how he killed Laxman Nagesh, school teacher Ghanashyam Ganda, Banamali Ganda, Parbati Ganda, Basanti Ganda and others. He was also involved in infant sacrifice and blamed us for the murders,” the Maoists told The Samaj. The Maoists also alleged that Majhi collected milloins of rupees claiming proximity to them. “We had warned him several times not to use our name, but he did not amend his ways. So we had no other option than to kill him,” said the Maoist leaders.

Admitting that the growth of Naxalism (Left-Wing Extremism) was as much because of failure of the Union Government as for a variety of other reasons, Union Rural Development Minister Jairam Ramesh underlined the need for a renewed sense of urgency to address problems afflicting the masses through a stratagem hinged on synergy of security forces and implementing agencies, reports The Hindu. Delivering the annual Sardar Patel Memorial Lecture in Delhi on October11 on “Tirupati to Pashupati: Some reflections on the Maoist Issue”, Ramesh called for speedy completion of public welfare projects, primarily rural roads, within three to four years with a sense of urgency and a “get-it-done” attitude. Since roads were the first target of Naxalites who killed contractors frequently to stall road construction, Ramesh said some degree of security cover by para-military agencies like the Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF) would be essential to ensure timely completion of works under the Pradhan Mantri Gram Sadak Yojana. In 25 Naxalite-intense Districts the expenditure was lower than the national average and in 10 of them less than in the 60 Left Wing Extremist-affected Districts of the country, Ramesh said. He also called for greater synergy between security forces and implementing agencies to speed up connectivity.

Director General of Police (DGP) Kuldeep Khoda said that Police was working on all leads, including a possible nexus between the Lashkar-e-Toiba (LeT) and Khalistan Zindabad Force (KZF), who might have jointly plotted the terror strike which was foiled with the recovery of the car laden with explosives in Ambala in Haryana on October 12. Asserting that Babbar Khalsa International (BKI) was not an active outfit in Jammu, Khoda said Police had reports that KZF was trying to revive itself. The KZF is headed by Ranjeet Singh alias Neeta of Simbal in Jammu, who was presently operating from Lahore in Pakistan. Recently, there had been reports of a nexus developing between Punjab and Jammu and Kashmir militants, which were corroborated with the reports that Neeta was trying to revive KZF in Jammu. The explosives were reportedly packed and sent from Jammu and Kashmir. "The spot could be anywhere in Jammu and Kashmir but since the role of KZF is emerging, the possibility of supply of explosives somewhere in Jammu including the border areas is not ruled out’’, sources said, adding the KZF might have helped the BKI in the terror plot hatched jointly with the LeT outfit. "We had inputs that an LeT module active in Jammu and Kashmir was planning to strike in Delhi. Investigations were done and found that the explosives were meant for BKI and to be used in Delhi. We received a specific input yesterday [October 11] about the movement," Arun Kampani, Deputy Commissioner of Police (Special Cell) said. The DGP further said there were no doubts over Police claims that Doda and Reasi Districts were free of militancy but admitted that the militants kept on moving from one place to another. "Some groups of militants are active. There is no doubt about that. However, Police too have killed many militants and solved various blast mysteries… We would also work on way and means to ensure that terror plots originating from Kishtwar and other parts of J&K to New Delhi are not repeated’’, he added. Investigations so far reveal that the blast outside Delhi High Court on September 7 was carried out by the militants of Kishtwar District of Jammu region with the help of some modules.

Joint secretary (North East) of the Union Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA), Sambhu Singh said that the Union Home Secretary is likely to hold talks with the leaders of the Pro-Talks Faction of United Liberation Front of Asom (ULFA-PTF) on October 25 to review the situation after the signing of the cease-fire agreement, reports The Assam Tribune. Singh said that the ULFA leaders are expected to submit the list of its cadres shortly and the scheduled meeting would also discuss as to how the talks should progress. After the meeting, the Centre's interlocutor PC Haldar would take over and talks on the demands of the ULFA would start, he added. Shambhu Singh said that the Government of India is planning to sign peace pacts with at least three militant outfits of the State by November. He said that the process of talks with the United People's Democratic Solidarity (UPDS) is complete and only the date for signing of the accord is to be decided. He pointed out that the Government was trying to make the Karbi Longri North Cachar Hills Liberation Front (KLNLF) to sign the same pact, which delayed the process of signing of the pact with the UPDS. But the KLNLF could not make up its mind and the Government would not go ahead with the signing of the accord with UPDS, he added. He also said that talks with both factions of Dima Halim Daogah [DHD-Jewel & DHD-Nunisa] are in final stage and accords with the outfits are likely to be signed soon. On the progress of talks with the Pro-Talks faction of National Democratic Front of Bodoland (NDFB-PTF), Singh said that the outfit is still sticking to its demand for creation of a separate state and the Centre has already made it clear that there is no possibility of division of Assam.

According to Delhi Police officials, the blue Indica car had five kilograms of RDX in two packets, two batteries, five detonators and two timer devices. Delhi Police said the explosives were meant for terror outfit Babbar Khalsa International (BKI), which had plans to target the national capital. "We had inputs that a Lashkar-e-Toiba (LeT) module active in Jammu and Kashmir was planning to strike in Delhi. Investigations were done and found that the explosives were meant for Babbar Khalsa International (BKI) and to be used in Delhi," said Arun Kampani, Deputy Commissioner of Police (special cell). According to sources, the plot was orchestrated by the Pakistani intelligence agency, Inter Services Intelligence (ISI) and the whole operation was being monitored from Nepal. A call was traced from Nepal 10 days ago which suggested exchange of explosives. The Policemen are investigating if the recovery of explosives has any links to the September 7 blast at Delhi High Court, where too RDX was used. A team of National Investigation Agency (NIA), which is probing the HC blast along with bomb disposal squads and forensic experts from Madhubani FSL have rushed to Ambala. Officials said the explosive was smuggled to Jammu and Kashmir through the border and a separate module was assigned to deliver it to Delhi. Police is looking for two suspects who drove the car to Ambala from Jammu. They have recovered two toll tax slips, of Shambhu Barrier and Ladowal in Punjab, from the car, and probably have CCTV footage of the two suspects from one of the toll booths.

Referring to the October 7 shoot out 7 in Tamenglong District in Manipur where six cadres of National Socialist Council of Nagaland-Isak-Muivah (NSCN-IM) were killed by the Zeliangrong United Front (ZUF), the ZUF said it was a sad incident caused by the intrusion by outsiders that had disturbed the peaceful atmosphere, reports Kanglaonline. At any cost the ZUF will safeguard the Zeliangrong land. It then said no others had instigated the ZUF on any activity carry out by the ZUF. “It is natural for us to protect our land and we are doing it with our own volition,” said the ZUF. It alleged that the NSCN-IM had given immense hardship to the Zeliangrong villages in Tamenglong District. The ZUF said the NSCN-IM only imposes its `military rule` in Zeliangrong region when there are so many Naga areas that are untouched by the latter outfit.

The Assam Tribune reports that under pressure of the North-Eastern States, the Government of India is likely to renew its plea to Myanmar to bust the camps operated by militants of the region. India is preparing to host the biggest-ever official delegation of Myanmar led by President U Thein Sein. The delegation which includes at least 13 senior ministers comprises Minister Border Affairs, Foreign Minister, and Chief of General Staff of Army. A number of agreements are likely to be signed when the two sides formally meet on October 14 (today). Top on the agenda are discussion on cooperation on fighting the militant groups, cross-border infrastructure projects, improvement of border connectivity between Myanmar and North-Eastern States, development of border trade and bilateral trade ties. Sources said India is, however, likely to press for sustained operations against the militant outfits operating out of the border areas of the country. Several of the militant outfits including National Socialist Council of Nagaland-Khaplang (NSCN-K), United Liberation Front of Asom (ULFA), National Democratic Front of Bodoland (NDFB), besides People’s Liberation Army (PLA), United National Liberation Front (UNLF), and People’s Revolutionary Party of Kangleipak (PREPAK), among others, maintain and operate bases in that country. The Myanmar Army had recently mounted an operation against the militant outfits and destroyed some camps belonging to NSCN-K, where ULFA had stationed their cadres.

The Anti-Talks Faction of ULFA (ULFA-ATF) demanded an explanation from Pro-Talks Faction of ULFA (ULFA-PTF) ‘chairman’ Arabinda Rajkhowa regarding his recent commitment to ailing singer Bhupen Hazarika in Mumbai that a “pact” on the vexed Assam issue would be signed with the Centre by next year, reports The Telegraph. ULFA-ATF ‘central publicity chief ‘Arunodoi Dohotia said, “After so many pacts involving the Northeast and Jammu and Kashmir turning out to be worth naught in the past, ULFA does not believe in any more treaties. Neither can independence be any kind of a pact. It is not for a pact or treaty that ULFA has waged a rebellion for the last 32 years, during which over 13,000 people laid down their lives.” Further Dohotia said, “It appears that Rajkhowa, who is on bail, is adopting an initiative towards a compromise and ULFA is not party to it. After so many sacrifices, ULFA cannot afford to let down people’s expectations, The All Assam Students Union (AASU) and the Assam Jatiyatabadi Yuva Chatra Parishad (AJYCP) have been fighting for the state’s problems from a time when ULFA was not born and now an individual, Akhil Gogoi, is taking over the reins to fight for the cause of the state. But they have always been taking up their demands with the Centre. ULFA was not born to take up Assam’s issues with the Indian government. A pact with the Centre will defeat the very purpose of raising the outfit which we will never approve of.”

Maharashtra Government is planning to acquire an additional helicopter for air-lifting operations in the Naxal [Left Wing Extremism]-dominated areas of the State, reports IBN Live.

Pro-Talks Faction of ULFA (ULFA-PTF) has deposited its weapons ahead of the peace negotiations scheduled for October 25, reports The Times of India. However, the faction has deposited just 57 assorted weapons, a number believed to be far smaller than the outfit's actual arsenal. Chief Minister Tarun Gogoi in this regard said said, "Initially, there was some objection from ULFA leaders to depositing the weapons, but the government has convinced them to do so. It is a uniform policy followed with all outfits that before talks start they should deposit their weapons, stay in designated camps and not resort to any extortion." Gogoi said the first round of talks between ULFA and the Centre, since the tripartite ceasefire agreement was signed last month, will be held in New Delhi on October 25. A memorandum of settlement would also be signed with the United People's Democratic Solidarity (UPDS), another militant outfit of the state, on October 24 in New Delhi. Giving details of the deposit of weapons with the Centre, State Home Secretary G D Tripathi said, "They have so far deposited 57 weapons but they might still have some weapons with them. We will be getting the rest of the arms as well." Tripathi further said, "They are under a double-lock safe custody, with keys to one lock with the local police officer and the other with the ULFA leader. Very soon, we will be shifting these weapons to the camps where the ULFA cadres will be staying while the peace talks proceed." On the issue of designated ceasefire camps home secretary Tripathi said, "There will be nine such camps in the state and the camp at Goalpara is ready to be handed over to the cadres. When the cadres of that area move into the camp, we can shift the deposited weapons there." The home secretary said that the ULFA-PTF cadres would have to stay in designated camps, which they want to be named as Assam Naba Nirman Kendra. The home secretary said the Rajkhowa faction has also submitted a list of the cadres of the ULFA-PTF who number 297.

With mine protected vehicles (MPVs) becoming virtual death traps, claiming 150 personnel in the last two years, Security Forces (SFs) fighting the Naxal (Left-Wing Extremist) menace have been asked to rely more on foot patrols to detect underground mines and use these armoured vehicles sparingly, reports The Times of India. Every time SFs upgrade the landmine protection capability of their MPVs, the Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist) moves one step ahead using high quantity of explosives in their IEDs to make these mine protected vehicles redundant. Such high casualties had forced Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF) chief K Vijay Kumar to call them "coffin on wheels" at a conference in New Delhi on October 11.

While probing the seizure of Fake Indian Currency Notes (FICNs), the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) has discovered the involvement of an international racket with roots in Pakistan, Indian Express reported. The Directorate of Revenue Intelligence, which was earlier probing the case had arrested two Turkish and an Indian national in July 2011 with FICN worth 10 million INR. The notes were hidden in a cavity in a Mercedes bus, which the duo identified as Mehmood and Hussain had driven from Turkey to India. The investigators found the two drove from Turkey to Iran and then to Pakistan, entering India with valid travel documents. They then went to Bangladesh, and came back with bundles of FICN. Their interrogation revealed they were paid for the trip from Bangladesh to India and promised a ‘handsome reward’ once the consignment was delivered.CBI, which has requested Interpol to trace the person who gave the consignment to the duo, claimed to have identified one person in India who was supposed to distribute the FICNs.

Nagaland Post reports that supervisor of ‘People’s Army of Nagaland’ of National Socialist Council of Nagaland-Khaplang (NSCN-K), ‘Lieutenant General’ Niki Sumi, asserted that Naga aspiration for reconciliation, was not factional, regional or tribal. He said major players should maintain similar perspective towards a logical and realistic conclusion for “durability and sustainability.” Stating that reconciliation was endorsed and supported by different political parties and a cross section of Naga society, he said there was no problem beyond compromise or resolution as the issue was primarily a family crisis among Nagas. Niki said the issue needed to be resolved at the earliest as delay would be perilous. He said Covenant of Reconciliation (CoR) spearheaded by Forum for Naga Reconciliation (FNR) received approval of majority of Nagas as well as foreign sympathizers but should be based on acceptable and honorable merger on the basis of “brotherhood, equality and ideologically, on the basis of historical and political rights of the Nagas.”

The Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist) on October 19 called for a 24-hour bandh (general shutdown) in Junglemahal area on October 22, the day the deadline given by Chief Minister (CM) Mamata Banerjee to the Maoists ends, reports Hindustan Times. The bandh will be held in West Midnapore, Purulia and Bankura Districts, adds Zee News. "Make the bandh in Junglemahal on Saturday a success against the injustice meted out to the people of the area," Maoist state committee secretary Akash, said in an open letter. Akash, also the Maoist spokesman, alleged the State Government was "unleashing terror" in the name of peace in Junglemahal. In addition, CM Banerjee held a meeting with Maoist interlocutors on October 18 and asked them to convince the Maoists to give a written undertaking saying that they (Maoists) will surrender arms and stop killing innocent people in Jangalmahal, reports The Economic Times. But the Maoists on October 19 made it clear that they have no confidence on the chief minister's initiative to hold talks with them to bring back peace and normalcy in the region. Maoist state secretary Aakash said the bandh "has been called to give a befitting reply to Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee's refusal to address the issues we have raised for development of Jangalmahal."

The National Investigating Agency (NIA), investigating the September 7 Delhi blast, seized five mobile telephones of Wasim Akram Malik, a Medical student, his two relatives and two associates from Kishtwar and Jammu but another mobile telephone and a laptop used by him at Dhaka, Bangladesh remained untraced, reports Daily Excelsior. Two other seized mobile telephones belonged to Abid Hussain and Hafiz Aamir Abbas Dev, two Kishtwar students, who have already been arrested by the NIA in connection with Delhi blast and terror emails sent thereafter. Abid and Dev were arrested from Kishtwar while Wasim was arrested from IGI Airport, New Delhi soon after he landed in the capital from Dhaka. Three more accused in the blast—Junaid Akram Malik, brother of Wasim, a Medical student at Dhaka, Aamir Malik alias Akram and Jehangir Saroori, all three HM militants—were on hit list of the NIA but they couldn’t be traced. Police and NIA had reports that Aamir Malik and Saroori had left for inaccessible heights of Kishtwar while there were doubts over the movement of Junaid, who could be anywhere. The recovery of three mobile phones and some documents related to exchange of money indicates involvement of Jaish-e-Mohammed (JeM) in the terror attack.

United Jihad Council (UJC), an amalgam of 13 militant groups, chairman and Hizb-ul-Mujahideen (HM) ‘supreme commander’ Syed Salah-ud-Din has asked separatist leaders not to enter in to any kind of bilateral dialogue with New Delhi, KNS quoted him saying on October 19, according to Times of India.

As Government of India was never sincere to solve Kashmir through dialogue," he was quoted as saying. He advised the separatist forces in the State to unite. "Re-unification of Hurriyat has become inevitable in the larger interests of the movement. We will continue our efforts to see Hurriyat becoming one again," he added. He said the time has come when there is need for a state wide movement both at political and militant fronts.

While probing the Delhi High Court blast case (September 7, 2011), the National Investigation Agency (NIA) has seized three mobile phones and some documents, including papers relating to money transaction, from residence of one of the accused Wasim Ahmed Malik in Jammu and Kishtwar Districts in Jammu and Kashmir, The Times of India reported. According to NIA officials these seizures could lead them to the culprits who had planted the bomb. Meanwhile interrogation of Wasim threw conflicting versions before them about the involvement of terror group. The accused is learnt to have told the NIA that the blast was carried out by someone who is associated with Jaish-e-Mohammed (JeM), contradicting his earlier version when he had told them about his associates' linkages to Hizb-ul-Mujahideen (HM) and Harkat-ul-Jihad-al-Islami (HuJI). Close coordination of all these groups at different levels in carrying out the blast is, however, not ruled out by the investigators.

The Telegraph reports that the Government has recast the Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF’s) role by concentrating its presence along nine “intra-country” borders under a strategy that will also give the paramilitary force freedom to chase the Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist) across State boundaries.

The Maoists already has structures working along state borders, such as the Andhra-Odisha Special Border Area Committee and others like it. “From now on, when CRPF companies are deployed in an area, they will be divided across the state borders. In that sense, it will be an intra-country border force,” a senior Government official said.

Copies of these terrain maps are available with all company commanders now. It helps them track likely ambush sites and plot their route to avoid casualty. It also gives them an idea of the best sites to plan an ambush,” he said.

Police have busted a Lashkar-e-Toiba (LeT) module that carried out attacks at Baramulla and Batamaloo on August 25 in which two persons were killed and 13 others were injured, Deputy Inspector General (Central Kashmir) Abdul Gani Mir said on October 27, reports Daily Excelsior. Mir said, "On August 25, a blast took place at Baramulla in which a civilian and a Border Security Force (BSF) jawan were killed. An hour later a blast occurred at Batamaloo here in which 13 persons were injured. We launched investigations in both these incidents and it was established that these blasts were carried out on directions of Sopore based Lashkar ‘commander’ Muza Molvi. Furqan, an ex-filtrated militant of LeT was in contact with Muza Molvi and both of them made the ultimate plan of the twin blasts." Mir said that the leads about the involvement of module in militant activities came to fore after the arrest of Muzaffar Ahmad Mir, the militant responsible for the killing of Sajad Ahmad Parray, a Police Constable at Hazratbal on October 14. He said five LeT operatives were arrested from different parts of Valley. A Special Investigation Team (SIT) constituted to probe the blasts succeeded in arresting two LeT operatives, identified as Irfan Ashraf Dar and Ali Mohammad, both residents of Reban-Sopore in Baramulla District. Later, one more LeT operative, identified as Tariq, was arrested. Police also arrested one Khalid Ahmad Bhat alias Sajad son of Haji Ghulam Hassan resident of Nagam-Chadoora in Budgam District in connection with the twin blasts at Baramulla and Batamaloo. The DIG said that Haji Ghulam Hassan is an active worker of All Party Hurriyat Conference-Geelani (APHC-G). Mir also said, "The face of militancy in the Kashmir has changed and it has been observed that operatives these days carry out militant activities along with their normal work. It has been observed that the module would find soft targets in colleges and then lure these college students towards militant activities. Nobody would doubt these students since they were regular in their studies." He said that investigations in Delhi High Court blast have also established the fact that college students are involved in militant activities like blasts. He said that provocative videos on social networking sites like You Tube lure youth towards militancy, adding that two of the five arrested persons were driven towards militancy by this reason only.

Abductors of the Railway locomotive driver, Tarun Kumar Bhattacharjee, who was abducted on October 20, have raised their ransom demand from INR 500,000 to INR 1 million. United Democratic Liberation Army (UDLA), which masterminded his abduction, was reportedly peeved with the dilly-dallying by Bhattacharjee’s family in handing over the ransom, and increased the amount. Police sources said the ransom note bore the signature of UDLA ‘chief’ Sishumoni Reang, who, according to Police intelligence, operated from Mizoram’s Kolosib District. The UDLA ‘chief’ had told reporters that he was forced to demand such a high ransom from Bhattacharjee’s family as it was only way to force the Centre to take notice of the outfit. Another reason behind the kidnapping, Reang said, was to raise money to buy modern weaponry.

Banned terror outfit Khalistan Tiger Force (KTF) claimed responsibility for the huge haul of explosives recovered from an abandoned car in Ambala in Haryana on October 12 and stated that their motive was to eliminate senior Congress leader Sajjan Kumar to avenge the 1984 anti-Sikh riots, The Indian Express reported. In a press release issued on October 28, KTF — a breakaway faction of Babbar Khalsa International (BKI)— claimed that the RDX was being taken to Delhi for “eliminating” Sajjan Kumar, an accused in a 1984 riots case. “Our outfit does not believe in killing innocent people, we had no plan to attack on eve on Diwali, the Government agencies are only trying to defame us by saying so. We also want to clarify that we support all the outfits which are fighting for cause of Kashmir. But we have no relationship with Lashkar-e-Toiba (LeT). We are an organisation to get freedom for Sikhs and we will kill all those who come in its way,” it said. The letter was issued by Jagtar Singh Tara, a key accused in the assassination of former Punjab Chief Minister Beant Singh, and who formed the terror outfit after breaking away from BKI around six months ago.

The Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF) said the situation in Jammu and Kashmir has improved. "Overall, if you see the statistics of J-K. It has been one of the best years despite certain incidents which happened. In terms of tourism or in terms of other activities, which are the indices of normalcy, if you look at it, it has been one of the best years in Srinagar. When you see the overall situation, you will see generally it is improving," the Director General (DG) of the CRPF, K Vijay Kumar said. He maintained that decisions on the removal of the Armed Forces (Special Powers) Act (AFSPA) and troop’s reduction will be taken by the Ministry of Home Affairs. "CRPF does not have a stand on this. We go by the stand of the Home Ministry. As long as the protection (for the force) is available, there is no issue. As far as the CRPF is considered, there is a policy of Home Ministry which we will abide," he added. When asked about the reduction of CRPF in the State, the DG said, "As compared to previous years, Yes. We had a peak of 74-75 battalions (about 75,000 personnel) and that has certainly reduced." About 69 battalions (nearly 69,000 men) and three companies (three hundred personnel) of women are deployed in Jammu and Kashmir. Close to 60 per cent of the CRPF personnel in J-K are deployed in counter insurgency and related duties and the remaining provide security to VVIP/Vital installations and perform law and order duties among others.

The peace talks between the West Bengal Government and the Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist) have come to an end with the Maoists calling them “misleading and senseless”, reports The Indian Express. A letter from CPI-Maoist state secretary Akash to Sujato Bhadra, the leader of the six-member team of interlocutors, says the “peace talks” referred to by Mamata Banerjee Government frequently did not make any sense. The State Government should stop spreading the misleading news of peace talk being continued, it says. The letter dated October 26 has been circulated internally in the party and its frontal organisation claimed the State Government started operation in Junglemahal from August 24 and it continued till September 30, when the interlocutors purportedly held a meeting with the Maoists. Moreover, the raids and operations have been stepped up after the meeting that was held on September 30. Addressing Bhadra and other interlocutors, Akash says in the letter, “We have repeatedly informed you and the committee members about the operations of the joint forces and the villages where they raided. We requested you to be vocal in front of Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee that how the pre-conditions of peace talks are being violated. But you always kept us saying not to do this and not to do that. Why did not you tell the same thing to the State Government? Peace talk and operation cannot continue simultaneously and in the name of peace talk, the treachery of Mamata Banerjee will also not continue for long.”

Four traders engaged in business across the Line of Control (LoC) have been booked by Enforcement Directorate (ED) in connection with alleged hawala racket for Lashkar-e-Toiba (LeT), Daily Excelsior reports. Cracking down on financial terror, ED, which had sent one of its senior officers to the Valley for reviewing hawala cases, decided to take up the investigation under Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA). State Police had busted a hawala racket in 2009 involving traders and businessmen in Punjab and Jammu who allegedly channelised funds to LeT militants in the Kashmir valley and used to get heavy percentage in return. This is the first case taken up by ED after the cross-LoC trade began in October 2008. The sources said terror groups were taking advantage of the absence of legal banking facilities for trade across the LoC which is based on a barter system.
