An Assistant Commandant of the Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF), was killed on June 1 in a Maoist ambush at Khallari village in Dhamtari District of Chhattisgarh, reports The Hindu. Police told that the Assistant Commandant, S. K. Das of the 211 Battalion, was killed while leading a combing operation in the area. A Maoist platoon of about 30-40 members opened fire at the CRPF company. Meanwhile, senior Congress leader Mahendra Karma's Personal Security Officer (PSO) Siyaram Singh, who was critically injured in the deadly Naxalite attack in Bastar District of Chhattisgarh on May 25, succumbed to his injuries at a hospital in Raipur on June 1, reports The Times of India.

Cyber Police in Chhattisgarh on June 1 sent a request to the Facebook authorities to close down an account called 'Naxal Chhattisgarh', reports The Times of India. The Facebook page went viral with Naxalite propaganda after the Maoists stepped up violence in the tribal region of Bastar. Additional superintendent of police (cyber cell), Shweta Sinha received a number of complaints about a much-hyped Facebook profile having more than 284 friends in its list. "Soon after the Maoists' attack at Darbha valley took place on May 25, killing many Congress leaders, this page was prominently visible on the Facebook homepage of Chhattisgarh citizens. There are many persons in the list including students, activists, tribal youths, even few MLAs. Though the authenticity is yet to be confirmed, the contents indicate that Naxalites' propaganda in the cyber world is their new advanced weapon," an official spokesman said.

In response to the recruitment drive of Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF) in Bastar (Chhattisgarh), the Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist) has put up banners in Keshkal area of Kondagaon District, warning tribal youths to stay away from the paramilitary force, reports The Times of India. The Maoists have also appealed to tribals to join them. "Naxals have put up two banners in Mundapara village in Vishrampur area on the border of Chhattisgarh and Odisha in Kondagaon District, advertising their open recruitment drive," a senior Police official said. According to the official, as movement in the forest becomes difficult during monsoon, ultras stay in villages and concentrate on propagation of their ideology and recruitment. Recruitment for CRPF constables is underway in the left wing extremism-affected districts of Bastar, Bijapur, Dantewada, Kondagaon, Narayanpur, Sukma and Rajnandgaon.

Chhattisgarh and Jharkhand Governments have asked the road transport and highways ministry, on June 5, to allow splitting of project in the worst Naxal [Left Wing Extremism (LWE)]-hit Districts to get takers for building roads, reports The Times of India. Representatives from the two States also suggested that the ministry should allow contractors to give over 50% of the work to subcontractors. Government sources said these are the two main States where the road ministry is finding it impossible to get contractors due to fear of Maoists, particularly in Bastar region in Chhattisgarh and Palamu/Garwa districts in Jharkhand. The situation is equally critical in Garhchiroli District in Maharashtra and Malkangiri in Odisha. "We have already allowed subcontracting of 50% of work to local players. Now these states and their PWDs [Public Works Departments] want us to relax the norm further. They have also asked us to find new ways to push awarding of works in these districts. We have also sought their suggestions to push the remaining works in first phase of road development in the red zone," a road ministry official said.

Meanwhile, a weak database of Chhattisgarh Police on Maoist ‘commanders’ in the area have stalled investigations of National Investigation Agency (NIA) into the May 25 ambush in which 30 persons, including three senior Congress leaders, were killed Sukma District. Sources said that NIA has sought fresh photos of key suspects, including Ramana alias Ramalu Srinivas, chief of CPI-Maoist Dandakaranya special zonal committee, and Vinod, Ganpati, Jaganna and Savitri, but to no avail. They have got pictures of a few, but they are too old to be of any use, an official said.

Police managed to thwart an attack by Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist) in Chhattisgarh’s Rajnandgaon District on June 5, which ended with the fleeing Maoists leaving behind weapons and other supplies, reports The Hindu. Security Force (SF) personnel, who reported no damage or injuries, could not arrest any of those involved in the attack. It is suspected that at least a couple of Maoists had sustained injuries. Three rifles, some supplies and items of daily use were recovered from the spot. The incident occurred when a joint team of Police forces from the Districts of Rajnandgaon, Balod and Kanker was conducting a combing operation in the jungles of Durki hills in the Khadgaon Police Station area, Rajnandgaon SP Sanjeev Shukla told Press Trust of India. The combing operations were on for the past four days, he said.

The May 25 Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist) strike in Chhattisgarh was a "direct attack on democracy and freedom", Chief Ministers of various States said in a unanimous resolution on June 5 at the Chief Ministers’ conference on internal security, reports IBN Live. "It was a direct attack on democracy and freedom. We strongly disagree with the ideology of the Maoists. They want to overthrow parliamentary democracy and Constitution of India through violent means... this must be resisted with all our might," said the resolution by the Chief Ministers. Further, all 9 States affected by Left-wing extremism (LWE) have agreed to form a unified national policy to tackle the Maoist menace and follow the Andhra Pradesh model to counter them, reports The Economic Times. The decision after a two-hour special session on Left-wing extremism at the Chief Ministers' conference comes ahead of the all-party meeting called by the Government on June 10 to discuss the strategy to tackle Maoists, following the Darbha attack in Chhattisgarh. During the meeting, chief ministers of Chhattisgarh and Bihar, badly affected by Maosits, advocated diverse strategies to tackle the militants, exemplifying the challenges for the Centre to organise a coordinated offensive. The Bihar chief minister Nitish Kumar maintained that a multi-dimensional strategy based on the theme of governance with justice was required. "We must work together to launch serious developmental schemes so that misdirected people can be brought back into the socio-economic mainstream," Kumar said. His counterpart from Chhattisgarh Raman Singh, however, said it was a battle of democratic forces against the perpetrators of violence. "To call Naxals as defenders of rights of anyone in society would only be a cruel joke. The battles being fought in Sukma, Dantewada, Bastar and Narayanpur are not Chhattisgarh's alone. We are fighting those whose ultimate aim is to capture Delhi and the Red Fort through power of the gun," Singh said. Maharashtra, Chhattisgarh, Andhra Pradesh and Odisha agreed to be on board for a coordinated offensive with the central forces in the tri-junction of the Bastar jungles from where the senior Maoist leadership operates. Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister Kiran Reddy, whose Police officers gave a presentation on how the state had successfully driven out the Maoists, cautioned that they anticipated the militants to stage a comeback in the State in case of any let-up in preparedness of the Security Forces. At a special two-hour-long session with the chief ministers of all nine Maoist-affected states in the evening, the Centre decided to progressively enhance the deployment level of central forces in the worst-affected states and stressed on surgical operations to take out the top leadership of the CPI-Maoist.

A 17-year-old boy, who was forced to become a Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist) cadre surrendered before the Madhya Pradesh Police on June 6, reports punemirror.in. Balaghat Superintendent of Police (SP), Sachin Atulkar told that in August 2012, Gurjan Singh Salame was abducted by a Maoist dalam (armed squad) commander while he was going to school at his native Kouwabehra village in Rajnandgaon District. After spending many months with the Maoists, he got an opportunity to set himself free when his dalam recently reached a place near his village. Gurjan fled with a gun and managed to reach his residence. Later he surrendered before the SP.

An "internal inquiry commission" of the Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist) has blamed Suchitra Mahato, the surrendered Maoist leader, for the death of politburo member Mallojula Koteswara Rao alias Kishenji in an alleged encounter in Junglemahal area in West Bengal in November 2011, reports The Indian Express on June 9. Branding her as a "traitor", the CPI-Maoist central committee has approved "retaliation" against those involved in the "conspiracy", saying they will be "punished when the time comes". The "inquiry commission" has said Mahato, who was believed to be with Kishenji during his last few days, lured him into a trap laid by Security Forces. The "internal inquiry" has also identified the Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee as "one of the chief conspirators", and warned that she will not be "spared". Significantly, a day after the attack on the Congress rally in Chhattisgarh recently, Banerjee had said, "If I die, there are people to take the Trinamool Congress ahead. I have a hand-picked team of about 90 people who will take the party forward." Her comment was believed to have been provoked by the security threat. Her security has since been stepped up. Four months after Kishenji's death, Mahato surrendered before Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee at Writers Buildings in March 2012.

Is it not terror? It is a terror act". He was responding to why the all-party resolution did not mention Naxalism [Left Wing Extremism (LWE)] as terrorism in its resolution in as many words.

In the backdrop of Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist) attacks in Chhattisgarh and Bihar, Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF) Director General (DG) Pranay Sahay on June 14 lamented the state of his weaponry and protection gear apart from quality of food and water given to troopers, reports The Times of India. Speaking to a gathering of industrialists at PHDCCI Sahay said that the helmets provided to his troopers can't withstand rifle bullets while their food packets are so heavy that it forces the foot soldiers to think whether to carry enough bullets or enough food. He said import of gadgets and weapons for the security forces is "not a happy situation" as foreign manufacturers do not meet Indian requirements in an optimal fashion, adding that indigenous research and development done by local companies was "not up to the mark". "We need helmets which can protect us from rifle bullets...what we have now only saves a troop from pistol firing," the DG said. Sahay was speaking on 'Expectation of Counter-insurgency Forces from Industry' at a function organized by PHDCCI. The CRPF chief, whose about three-lakh personnel is the mainstay of counter-Maoist operations, said procurement of high-end gadgets like Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) and weaponry is being done from overseas which is a time taking exercise and is "affecting operations." As the procurement requirements of the central security forces keep fluctuating, only second-rung international companies participate and "we have to depend on indigenous organisations like DRDO, Ordnance factories and central public sector undertakings... They (Indian firms and PSUs) have their own limitations. They cannot produce as much as we need," he said. "The local research and development has not been up to the mark," he added. Speaking on the food available for the troops, he said the ready-to-eat meals given to troops in operations are also heavier and have low nutritional value as compared to what other countries provide their strike squads. A CRPF commando carries a food pouch weighing 1.74kg while for a personnel in the United States forces it is 600 grams, he said.

The Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF) has stopped using Mine-Protected Vehicles (MPVs) deployed for carrying troops to minimize causalities resulting from Improvised Explosive Device (IED) blasts in Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist)-affected areas, reports The Times of India on June 30. This is the first time that CRPF has issued a complete ban on the use of these four-wheeled armoured vehicles. Close to 50 such armoured vehicles in Maoist hotbeds of Chhattisgarh, Odisha, Jharkhand, West Bengal and Bihar have been rolled inside CRPF camps. These MPVs will be used in rare instances only. "I have issued orders to my formations in the Left Wing Extremism areas to shun the use of the MPVs for patrol and other movements. As a result of this decision, this is the first time that no causalities in IED blasts or from hidden landmines in the first six months this year," said CRPF Director General (DG) Pranay Sahay. The CRPF DG added these vehicles will not be used anymore for jungle patrols and the commanders have been asked to send their patrols only on foot, as part of the standard operating procedures for these areas. "What is the fun in using these vehicles if they are not helping my men? This year we have had no causalities from IED attacks. This is a satisfactory achievement," Sahay asserted.

Women Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist) cadres are recruited more for ‘military operations’ in Bastar region of Chhattisgarh as against the general perception of their role as cooks, motivators and shields, reports The Times of India on July 1. This is according to a recent finding by the State Police. "Women cadres are actively participating in military operations in large number as compared to their male counterparts. It has been clearly witnessed in recent Maoist attack on Congress convoy at Jhiram valley," said Chhattisgarh Armed Force (CAF) Inspector General R P Kalluri. He added, "They are generally more brutal and ferocious. We cannot rule out their increasing numbers in the movement in Bastar. We have to psychologically deal with the issue". The women cadres are also being given equal chance in decision making at ‘special zonal committee’. Intelligence inputs suggest the number of women cadres has significantly increased in the past two years in Bastar region, and apparently in other States as well. In 2010, women constituted around 40 percent of the Maoist cadre which increased to 60 percent in the beginning of 2013. Chhattisgarh leads among Maoist-hit states where recruitment of women cadre is higher.
