The Chhattisgarh Government is actively considering declaring Dantewada district a 'disturbed area' in the wake of escalating Maoist activities in that region, official sources said on February 18. After successive Maoist attacks in the Dantewada district of Bastar region recently, the district administration has made recommendation for declaring Dantewada as a "disturbed area", top officials told Press Trust of India. "Because of the violence by the left wing extremists, not only the peace of the region was disturbed but also carrying out developmental works by the government agencies are being affected", the district administration said. Normal life was also being affected because of the growing Maoist activities, the District Collector K. R. Pisda said in his report to the State Government while recommending clamping of the Disturbed Area Act in Dantewada. Home Minister Ram Vichar Netam told PTI that the Government had received such a recommendation from the district administration.

At least 25 tribals were killed and 40 others sustained injuries in a landmine blast triggered by the Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist) cadres near Eklagoda village, in the jurisdiction of Arabore police station of Dantewada district on February 28. However, there has been no official confirmation on the fatalities so far. Unofficial reports indicate that over 50 persons were killed in the attack. Telegraph reports that more than 200 tribals were returning from an anti-Maoist Salwa Judum meeting in two trucks and a bus when the Maoists detonated a landmine, blowing up one of the vehicles. Director-General of Police, O.P. Rathore, said the victims, mostly tribals, were returning home after attending a Salwa Judum meeting. As their convoy approached Eklagoda around 11.30 a.m., the Maoists exploded the landmine and subsequently opened fire on two other vehicles and reportedly abducted nearly 120 villagers. Chief minister Raman Singh said the Maoists have entered Orissa along with their hostages after crossing the Sabri river. He added that "the security personnel and villagers attending the Salwa Judum meetings had been strictly ordered to travel only by foot," he said, adding that the size of the group could have forced the villagers to opt for heavy vehicles. The anti-Maoist campaign, the Chief Minister added, would continue despite the attack. "The government will redesign the strategy and give a new direction to the campaign," he observed, describing the act as "desperate and cowardly".

The Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist) has called for a complete shutdown (bandh) in Chhattisgarh on March 29, today, in protest against the proposed enactment of Special Public Security Act by the State Government. "To suppress our party and the people's movement, the state government is implementing the Chhattisgarh Vishesh Jansurakshya Abhiniyam-2005 and to protest against that the Dandakaranya Special Zonal Committee (DKSZC) and the Chhattisgarh state committee jointly call for a bandh on March 29," a joint statement of both the committees of the CPI-Maoist said on March 28. "However, in people's and student's interest, hospitals and schools have been put out of the ambit of the bandh," DKSZC spokesman Gudsa Usendi and Secretary of the 'North Bastar Divisional Committee (Kanker)' Sujata Nareti said in the joint statement. They also "begged apology" from the villagers for "wrongly" targeting them with a landmine blast near Pakhanjur in the Kanker district on March 25 in which 13 civilians died and four sustained injuries.

Following the Co-ordination Centre meeting attended by the police chiefs and Chief Secretaries of 13 Maoist-affected States and a number of Central Ministries in New Delhi on March 31, the Union Home Secretary V. K. Duggal admitted that Maoist violence was on the rise this year in Chhattisgarh but claimed that the situation in 12 other affected States was by and large under control. Compared to 475 violent incidents in the first quarter of 2005, there were only 391 in year 2006, though the number of casualties went up from 114 to 157. The number of security force (SF) personnel killed till March 30, 2006 is 47 as against 45 during the same period during year 2005. "There have been more civilian casualties, the intensity was also higher," Duggal said. In Chhattisgarh, which bore the brunt of Maoist attacks in the first quarter of this year, 162 incidents were reported compared to 97 in the same period during 2005. "In this year's incidents, there were 105 casualties, including 27 of security personnel”, he disclosed. During the same period in 2005, three civilians and six SF personnel were killed. The Home Secretary also informed that local resistance groups would be trained in self-defence and given police protection. He added that there was a consensus at the meeting that such groups were useful although, it should be ensured that local resistance was encouraged in areas effectively dominated by SFs so that the people there did not become vulnerable to attacks. A four-pronged strategy was also discussed to strengthen the Railway Protection Force, the Government Railway Police, the State police and intelligence agencies. Further, all States were asked to fill up vacancies in their police force. The Home Secretary informed that Bihar was making efforts to fill 17,000 vacancies, while Jharkhand recently recruited 11,000 constables and still 1,000 vacancies remained. The number of vacancies in Andhra Pradesh was about 6,000. Further, the meeting also decided to extend the scheme of Security Related Expenditure for Maoist areas by another five years, for which Rupees 250 crore has been earmarked.

Taking into account the overall situation, Naxalite violence was affecting 460 police stations in 13 States out of a total of 12,700 police stations in the entire country. "But we are still concerned. For the first time action plans of all the States were discussed in detail and wherever any gaps were found, we have suggested ways to plug them," Duggal said. Maintaining that the Centre was following a "pro-active" approach to tackle the Naxalite problem, he said that the Home Ministry would provide air support to Naxalite-affected states for transporting security forces and allow use of unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) in Chhattisgarh for intelligence gathering.

Union Home Secretary Vinod K. Duggal, who presided over the 21st coordination meeting of Chief Secretaries and Director Generals of Police of 13 Naxalite-affected States said, “Barring Chhattisgarh and Jharkhand, violence has come down in rest of the Naxal-affected states.” He informed that the rise in Naxalite-related violence in the past six months in Chhattisgarh is due to the intensification of the Salwa Judum movement and increase in encounters resulting in more casualties. “This year, till July, 84 anti-Naxal counter operations took place in Chhattisgarh and 35 Naxal cadres have been neutralized. Last year, the number of counter operations was 64,’’ said Duggal, adding that 13 battalions have been deployed in the State. In the rest of the Naxalite-affected States like Andhra Pradesh, Maharashtra and Madhya Pradesh, the incidents of the Naxalite attacks have come down, stated Duggal.

Speaking at the Chief Ministers’ Conference on Internal Security in New Delhi on September 5, the Chhattisgarh Chief Minister Raman Singh said that the Centre should play a more “proactive role” and that the Maoist problem could be effectively tackled with the constitution of a dedicated force on the lines of the Rapid Action Force that was formed to deal with riots. He made a plea that at least hundred battalions should be earmarked for the purpose of combating left-wing extremism. Criticising the Centre’s “battalion approach”, he said only sending paramilitary forces would not help put an end to the problem. “The first condition that needs to be fulfilled is a national policy on Naxalism on the lines of Jammu and Kashmir and the Northeast. It should be kept in mind that it is an inter-state movement and different states following different policies could only prove counter-productive,” he said, after the meeting, citing the example of a ban on the movement in one state when efforts were being made to initiate talks simultaneously in another state.

The Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF) has launched a crackdown against Maoists in the insurgency-affected Bastar region of Chhattisgarh to recapture areas "liberated" by the Maoists, according to NDTV. The monsoon thrust, planned to surprise Maoists who usually lie low during the rainy season, reportedly commenced towards the end of August 2006 and is progressing without much bloodshed, top CRPF officials said. The strategy is to conduct surprise raids on the basis of intelligence reports and the CRPF has so far arrested over 100 Maoists and killed two, besides seizing huge quantities of arms and ammunition. Official figures show that there were 24 shootouts between CRPF personnel and the Maoists in August and September, with the para-military force losing only one soldier. Nine persons were injured during the operations. However, the "deep penetration operation" has slowed down at several places after Maoists destroyed Government primary health centres and schools -- potential shelters for the CRPF personnel. "They destroyed over 30 such structures this month alone and are distributing leaflets warning villagers against extending help to the security forces," a senior CRPF officer said.

Unidentified Chhattisgarh Home Ministry sources told IANS on October 26 that the Maoists operating in the State have dozens of rockets and launchers capable of shooting down aircraft flying 200 feet above ground level. A senior official said, "We don't know whether the recent large supply of rockets via Andhra Pradesh reached Maoist militants in Chhattisgarh or not. But it is sure that since 2001 they have dozens of rockets and launchers in their thick forest hideouts in Bastar that border Andhra Pradesh.” He further said, “What is certain is that they already have rockets that can hit aircraft up to 200 feet above the ground.”

On December 16, the Chhattisgarh Chief Minister Raman Singh, in an interview with the IANS, said that he is open to peace talks with Maoists if they shun violence. Singh said, "Leftist insurgency is an inter-state problem as the militants have terror network in 13 states and peace talks by any single state will not solve the problem. But Chhattisgarh will not mind holding discussion with the rebels if they express keen interest to bring peace and return to democracy." The Chief Minister, however, added, "It's solely the responsibility of the Indian government to engage in peace dialogue with the Maoists rather than individual states getting involved." He further said, "I always prefer dialogue but it is necessary that rebels too should come to the discussion table with a lust for peace." Speaking on the vigilante programme Salwa Judum, he noted, "Salwa Judum is on the right track and the movement has cornered the Maoists in some 40,000 sq km of hilly terrain of Bastar region. Salwa Judum is a spontaneous outburst of tribals who have suffered Maoist atrocities for three decades. It will finish them off."
