Terming Naxalism as a "disease" which is standing in way of development, Chhattisgarh Governor Balramjidas Tandon on January 26 said the State would soon get rid of the Maoist menace completely, reports The Economic Times. Addressing the 66th Republic Day function at Police line grounds, the Governor said "Some areas of Chhattisgarh are Naxal¬affected.

He said the State Government has accepted Naxalism as a challenge and with the coordinated efforts of Centre the menace will be wiped out soon. "I assure you, the day is not far when the state will be completely free of Naxal problem," he added.

The Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist) outfit is planning to form a new corridor to connect Jharkhand, Odisha and Chhattisgarh through the districts of Sambalpur and Deogarh, said Director General (DG) of Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF), Prakash Mishra on March 18, reports The New Indian Express. He further said “The CRPF is ready to foil any such attempt by the banned outfit.” Sambalpur and Deogarh districts are pivotal because of their strategic location and all efforts will be made to ensure that the Maoists cannot realise their plan of a corridor, added Mishra, who arrived in Sambalpur later in the day after reviewing anti-Maoist operations at Sunabeda wildlife sanctuary in Nuapada, which has become a hotbed of Maoists. “It will be easy to rein in the Maoists if they are denied setting up the corridor,” Mishra said, adding that there has been a reduction in the Maoist movement in Sundargarh, Deogarh and Sambalpur whereas it has increased in Boudh, Kandhamal and Angul districts. He said the CRPF personnel have succeeded in containing Maoist activity in Sunabeda sanctuary and are now concentrating on the border areas of Nuapada and Chhattisgarh, where the ultras are currently active. On CRPF deployment in the State, the CRPF DG said it would be rationalised and the personnel stationed in areas which have marked subdued Maoist activities would be moved to places where ultras are active. He said the CRPF was working in tandem with the State Police. During his visit to the Sunabeda sanctuary, Mishra attended a function organised by CRPF in Sunabeda village as a part of their Civic Action Programme.

CPI-Maoist claimed that a Police constable has ‘surrendered’ before it, reports The Hindu on April 6. “Michche Vadda, 37, a police constable posted in the Farasgav police station of Narayanpur, has surrendered before the Kutul area Janatana Sarkar of the CPI (Maoist). He worked for the police for more than 10 years since 2005. He was being harassed by his senior officers and was pained over the continuous atrocities by security forces on the tribal people in Bastar,” said a statement issued by Rajmand Mandavi, secretary of the Mad divisional committee of the outlawed CPI-Maoist. Vadda went missing on March 13 on a visit to his village Kutul. The Police believed that he had been “abducted.” However, the Maoists claimed that he had surrendered “willingly” with his wife Manju on March 29.

The Hindu reports that the team of 49 STF men which got ambushed in Polampalli on April 11, had reportedly not informed senior police officers based in Bastar and Sukma before embarking on an operation which eventually proved “suicidal.” Bastar range Inspector General (IG) of Police, S.R. Kalluri was on leave and had gone out of Chhattisgarh because of a death in his family. Speaking to The Hindu on the way back to Bastar after his leave was cancelled, Kalluri maintained that it was “a standalone STF operation” without any participation of the District police or the Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF). “Platoon Commander Shankara Rao had called Sub Divisional Police Officer Dornapal that night, who asked him to speak to the SP. The SP did not have any discussion with Shankara Rao before he left for the operation,” claimed Kalluri. Additional Director General of Police, R.K.Vij who is in charge of the STF, however said that there was “some discussion” between Sukma SP D. Srawan and Shankara Rao before the operation. “But there will be an inquiry into this and we will look into it,” Mr.Vij added. Further, speaking to a local TV channel at a Jagdalpur hospital, Ranjeet Kumar, a trooper who was wounded in the encounter, said, “We were attacked thrice even after running for over two kilometres. They [Maoists] must have been more than 400 and the ambush was spread over three kilometres.”

A press release from Sukhdev Konde, the secretary of the North Bastar Divisional Committee of the CPI-Maoist, termed the strike on the Border Security Force (BSF) camp on April 12 in Chhote Betiya village of Kanker District as an “audacious attack.” “The attack was in response to the government’s plan to put up a carpet of camps across Bastar. Sixteen new camps have come up in Bastar in the last six months. But the main aim of this plan is to snatch water, land and forests from the tribals,” said Konde while admitting that Maoist leader Dasmen Salam alias Vikas was killed in the attack which also resulted in the death of a BSF head constable.

A Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist) cadre, who had surrendered soon after the April 11 gun battle between Special Task Force (STF) and Maoists at Pidmal village in Sukma District, on April 21 claimed that 35 Maoists were killed and 15 injured in the retaliatory gun-battle, reports The Times of India. Janmilitia Commander of CPI-Maoist Sori Rama alias Kanna Karigundam said in a statement to Police that the dead Maoists included battalion ‘deputy commander’ Situ and Konta ‘area committee secretary’ Arjun. The duo was among the three seniors who planned the attack. Sori's job was to patrol between Pidmal and Dabbakonta camps along with seven other members. "There were around 250 Maoists including 20-25 women comrades," he added. Sori said that Maoist ‘commander’ Nagesh, who was among leaders of the operation, was heard saying that 35 comrades were killed and it was a big loss. Sori added that Nagesh had also mentioned that this information shouldn't be leaked before Police, public or government. A day earlier, Maoists, through a press statement, condemned Police's claim of killing more than 20 rebels. South Bastar divisional committee of the rebels had taken responsibility of the attack. "Police officers had to run for their lives for more than 10km till Kankerlanka," the release stated. Additional Director General (ADG) (anti-Maoist operation) RK Vij said, "Sori voluntarily surrendered before police soon after the attack. He told police that he was terrified after seeing so many deaths and the risk he carried to his life, which drove him to escape the Maoist movement. He surrendered without any weapons."

The Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist) warned lower rung Policemen working in Bastar region of Chhattisgarh to leave their jobs or “get killed at the hands of People’s Liberation Guerrilla Army (PLGA) guerrillas,” reports The Hindu on April 28. In a press statement issued by Madhavi, secretary of the West Bastar Divisional Committee of the Maoists, the CPI-Maoist took responsibility for the killing of Constable Bira Basant, who was abducted on April 7 and found dead two weeks later in Bijapur District. Blaming the State government and the Bijapur Police for the death of Bira, the Maoist leader claimed that the District Police did not initiate a dialogue for his release. “Instead, the police pressured locals and schoolchildren to organise protest rallies against us. Our party’s policy does not allow us to kill unarmed policemen. We have freed many jawans, who did not carry weapons. However, we cannot spare those who knowingly take part in inflicting atrocities on the people. Bira was one such policeman,” said Madhavi. “Bira’s killing should serve as a warning to all local and lower rung policemen working in Bastar. Stop fighting for corporates who are here to snatch tribal land. Take up any other job other than policing if you want to stay in Bastar. Otherwise be ready to die at the hands of the PLGA,” warned the Maoist leader.

The People’s Union for Democratic Rights (PUDR) has condemned Chhattisgarh Police’s “threat” of taking sever action against “certain” NGOs in Chhattisgarh for allegedly aiding and abetting the Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist) cadres under guise of helping tribal people, reports The Hindu on May 8. “At a recent press conference in Bastar, Inspector General of Police S.R. Kalluri said that many such organisations were under surveillance. The IGP’s list of suspicions activities included providing legal assistance to Naxalites — a thinly veiled reference to the Jagdalpur Legal Aid group, a small NGO working in Bastar to provide free legal aid to the Tribal people, many of whom are falsely implicated in cases of Naxal activities,” a PUDR statement said.

Chhattisgarh Government has written to Union Ministry of Home Affairs seeking Nagaland's Indian Reserve Battalions, especially for the worst-hit Bastar region, reports The Times of India on May 12. Chief Minister Raman Singh said, "Experience shows that Nagaland battalions were very useful in fighting the Naxalites. They are very good at jungle warfare." The Indian Express on May 12 quotes Raman Singh saying, “The Constitution does not allow deployment [Army] against our own people, and neither does my heart. For the sake of argument, if the Army is deployed, the issue [Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist) insurgency] can be solved in four hours. But this should never happen”. Reacting to suggestions made by some local leaders about the revival of the Salwa Judum (anti-Maoist vigilante group), albeit under a different avatar, Singh said the issue — of local villagers being brought to the forefront in the fight against Maoists — was a “highly sensitive” one. If villagers, alongside Security Forces, were to tackle Maoists head-on in the open, the Government would have to ensure their protection, Singh told The Indian Express.

As Naxals-Left-Wing Extremists (LWEs) continue to strike with impunity in Chhattisgarh, a major worry has gripped the Union Ministry of Home Affairs (UMHA) regarding the training deficit in State Police Forces to fight the LWEs, reports The Asian Age on May 16. The critical aspect of training may suffer a bigger hit after the Union Finance Ministry has put the Special Infrastructure Scheme (SIS) under the domain of the States—divesting the UMHA of its earlier powers of monitoring the scheme and allocating funds to States. “The funds will now go directly into the kitty of the states. It will be part of the state corpus. Now whether they use these funds for training and equipping their personnel to fight the Naxal menace or use it for other purposes, it will be difficult to differentiate. This may ultimately have a direct bearing on the states’ preparedness to fight the Naxal menace,” a top official said.

Opposition Congress party has disassociated with the move to re-launch Salwa Judum (an anti-Maoist vigilante group) in tribal Bastar region of Chhattisgarh, saying that it was the responsibility of the centre and the state governments to work out and implement strategies to deal with Maoist menace, reports The Times of India on May 20. All India Congress Committee (AICC) general secretary B K Hariprasad, who is in charge of party affairs in Chhattisgarh, clarified his party position on May 20, after Chhavindra Karma, son of slain Congress leader Mahendra Karma, made a public announcement for re-launch of Salwa Judum from May 25--the third anniversary of Maoist attack that killed frontline state Congress leaders. "We have nothing to do with Salwa Judum. It's the job of government of the day to fight Maoists and not of Chhavindra Karma or any other individual", he said at a press conference.

Ruling out the possibility of deploying Army in anti- Naxal [Left Wing Extremism (LWE)] operations, Defence Minister Manohar Parrikar on May 27, said if demanded, armed forces would extend “logistical support” and “provide training” to Police in tackling the menace, reports Indian Express. “Foreigners are not involved in it (Naxal movement). We use army where outside forces are involved. We use army against terrorists in Kashmir,” Parrikar told reporters in response to a query on whether army would be roped against growing Naxalism. Parrikar was in Raipur (Chhattisgarh) to inaugurate Jankalyan Mela, an exhibition-cum-fair showcasing the achievements of Narendra Modi-led National Democratic Alliance (NDA) government in the past one year. The Minister, however, added, “We can provide training and logistical support (to the paramilitary and local police) if demanded.”

Meanwhile, new mobile phone towers and post offices will soon come up in worst Naxal-hit Districts in Chhattisgarh with Union Home Minister (UHM) Rajnath Singh ordering expeditious completion of work, reports New Indian Express on June 1. The instructions were given at a high-level meeting held in Raipur during his two day-visit to Chhattisgarh on May 30 – 31. Singh reviewed the anti-Naxal operations and the development agenda with Chief Minister (CM) Raman Singh and senior officials of the central and State government besides the paramilitary forces. He directed that the installation of mobile towers by the Bharat Sanchar Nigam Limited (BSNL) be expedited, particularly in Sukma District. He said new post offices will be opened in the three worst affected Districts of south Bastar namely Sukma, Bijapur and Dantewada. Singh stressed on the need for expeditious formulation of the Road Requirement Plan (RRP), RRP-II, in consultation with the Union Ministry of Road Transport & Highways. He also called for opening of schools and hostels, new bank branches and expansion of radio and TV coverage in these areas. The State government proposed that the Centre should undertake the 'Bastar Plan' for its integrated development on both economic and security fronts. CM Singh raised the issue of reimbursement under the Security Related Expenditure (SRE) scheme and demanded the deployment of five Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF) battalions. Home Minister Singh also held an interaction with the personnel of CRPF and State Police Force at Chintagufa camp in Sukma. The jawans demanded adequate provision for family accommodation in group centres and removal of differences in pay and allowances between the State Police force and paramilitary jawans staying in the same campus. Assuring the jawans, UHM Singh said the constant effort of his Ministry is to improve the working conditions and take welfare measures for jawans. Further, talking to reporters at Jagdalpur, divisional headquarters of Bastar, he said Centre would extend all help to State government to tackle the problem, adds The Times of India. "Our effort is to expedite the pace of development and restore peace," UHM Singh said. Replying to a question, he said both State Police and Paramilitary Forces deployed in anti-Naxalite operations, were working for better coordination in region.

Speaking at a public meeting in Chhattisgarh’s Sukma on May 31, Union Home Minister (UHM) Rajnath Singh, urged CPI-Maoist cadres to drop their weapons and come back to the mainstream, reports Indian Express. He said: “The Maoist challenge is a big challenge. They want to stop development. But we have taken a vow that we will establish peace in the region.” He added: “I am glad that I am the first home minister to visit Sukma. I will also visit in the future.” On Sunday (May 31), the last day of his two-day Chhattisgarh visit, Rajnath visited Sukma and inaugurated the first fortified Police Station of the State in Dornapal. It is among 75 such stations being constructed in the State from the central funds. He also flew to the Chintagufa Police camp, located near Tadmetla, where Maoists had killed 76 personnel in 2010. Rajnath was accompanied by Chief Minister Raman Singh and other senior officers. On May 30, the Home Minister had inaugurated the new Police Headquarters in Naya Raipur and a Police sports complex in Raipur. During his address to officers, he applauded the State Police for carrying out the battle against Maoists.

Chhattisgarh CM Raman Singh has complained to UHM Rajnath Singh that there is "no cooperation" from the Telangana Government in the fight against Maoists in Bastar region, reports The Economic Times on June 3. The UHM has now asked the Chhattisgarh CM to convene an urgent meeting with the Director General of Police (DGP) Telangana. Officials said CM Raman Singh described Odisha's cooperation also as ‘moderate’ while he praised the "active participation" of Maharashtra. The CM also had a host of complaints against Information and Broadcasting Ministry, Road Transport and Highways Ministry, Telecom Department and Environment Ministry. He said there had been "no progress" in increasing the capacity and reach of radio network in Bastar — even Prime Minister’s (PM) ‘Mann ki Baat’ programme was hardly reaching remote areas of Bastar. The CM also complained of "slow progress" in installation of mobile towers, especially in Sukma District near Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF) camps and asked for supply of more helicopters and UAVs by the Centre. Officials said the UHM has decided that his Ministry will initiate the Cabinet note regarding the formulation of Road Requirement Plan¬2 as Raman Singh stressed on the need for speed in the formulation of the scheme. However, UHM Rajnath Singh also asked the CM to take steps for laying of underground cables for providing electricity and power to remote CRPF camps such as the one in Chintagufa.

Rajnandgaon District Superintendent of Police (SP), P Sundarraj informed that during the past two months, Police have achieved notable success through different anti-Maoist operations carried out in the District, reports The Pioneer on July 3. In the month of May this year, Police had busted a Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist) camp in the jungles of Nagur and seized arms and ammunition in huge quantity. Similarly, seizure was made during an operation carried out in forested patch between Dariyakona-Devracha under Bakarkatta, he mentioned. In a different action, an ammunition dump was located from jungles of Madanwada Police Station. Directional Improvised Explosives Devices (IEDs) were seized from the spot thereby foiling a major Maoist design, he informed. Maoists have suffered considerable damages due constant pressure built by Police action and keeping this in mind, planned and coordinated actions will be carried out against left wing extremists, the SP mentioned.

“Our party held a people’s court which awarded death penalty to Badru [a DVC member of the Darbha area] and Hemla Bhagat [another Darbha DVC member and chief of Maoists’ military intelligence wing in the area]. Both of them have been killed for indulging in anti-people, anti-party activities. They were in contact with the police and were planning to kill some senior leaders of the party. They were also conspiring to surrender with weapons before the enemy [the police],” said Surinder, secretary of the Darbha Division of the CPI-Maoist, in a press statement on July 12. However, the statement did not mention anything about two other leaders — Hinge and Kosi — who have been killed by the rebels in the last week of June. “Our party never executed any of its cadres who wanted to go home. We only punish those who indulge in treachery and damage our party and the movement. We appeal to the people to continue this struggle,” said the Maoist leader.Further, Ayatu, secretary of the Malangir area committee of the CPI-Maoist, has been ‘detained’ by his own party men and has been kept in captivity in the Katekalyan forest in Chhattisgarh’s Dantewada District, reliable sources have told The Hindu. Ayatu has been accused of facilitating the surrender of Maoist leader Kiran alias Sannu Potam on May 24 before the Dantewada Police. Sources told The Hindu that Ayatu reportedly uttered some “unpleasant words” against the highhandedness of Darbha DVC member and Malangir area committee in charge Nirmala.

In a bid to arrest fast erosion of their base following the recent surrender of a large number of cadres in Chhattisgarh’s Bastar, a Maoist stronghold, Naxals [Left Wing Extremists, LWEs] are planning to abduct VIPs to bargain release of jailed cadres, intelligence has warned, reports The Asian Age. “Maoists [Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist)] are clearly on the back foot after surrender of over 4000 Naxal cadres including over a dozen senior leaders in Bastar in the past several months. The development has not only demoralised the rank and file of the rebels but also threatened to shrink Maoists’ base in Bastar. Hence, the rebel leadership has decided to abduct VIPs such as local Superintendents of Police and District collectors and use them as a bargaining chip to negotiate release of Naxals incarcerated in different jails in the state”, intelligence sources told The Asian Age in Raipur. “What worried most the Maoist leadership was that the surrendered Naxals might lead the police to hideouts of rebel leaders in Maoist strongholds in Bastar,” State Intelligence Bureau (SIB) said.

Meanwhile, Ganesh Uike, secretary of the South Regional Committee (SRC) of the CPI-Maoist lashed out at the Government, the Police and the media for “fuelling speculation and indulging in propaganda” about the alleged rift between Telugu leaders and Bastar tribal cadres of the party, reports The Hindu. In a press statement Uike said, “The media is being misled [by the police and the government] to spread rumours about a rift between Telugu-speaking leaders of the party and the tribals of Bastar. Are the people of Andhra Pradesh and Telangana, who are working for the party, not the citizens of India?” He further claimed, “Many leaders and cadres of our party, who hailed from Andhra and Telangana areas, have sacrificed their lives while fighting for the rights of Bastar tribals. Our party does not work under the limitations of caste, creed, religion, sect and region.” Uike accepted the “execution” of some Maoist leaders by their own party men and agreed that some senior party cadres had joined the police in the past few months in Bastar. “Some senior cadres like Mallesh and Kiran have surrendered to the Police. The police are utilising these politically corrupt people to spread misinformation in the media about the discrimination against the party’s tribal cadres by its Telugu-speaking leaders. The police are also spreading lies that this discrimination is leading to the spate of surrenders which is false,” he added. Uike, however, reiterated that only two of them, Badaru and Bhagat, were “executed” as per the decision of the “people’s court” and the rest were spared. “Kosi and Vagi were warned and sent back to their villages and Hurra ran away to join the police,” he said.

The MI-17 helicopters of the Indian Air Force (IAF), deployed in the Communist Party of India-Maoist(CPI-Maoist)-hit Bastar region of Chhattisgarh, would now open fire in self-defence when attacked by the insurgents, reported The Hindu on October 22 (today). The MI-17s are primarily used in rescue operations. “During some of these operations, the Maoists fired on the helicopters. To deal with this situation, senior police and IAF officers have decided to evolve a new strategy,” said a statement from the Chhattisgarh Police Headquarters. According to an unnamed officer in Bastar, the choppers have been authorised to fire in retaliation for a long time. “But they are reluctant. It’s difficult to understand what stops them. The armed commandos on the chopper must retaliate when the Maoists attack them. But there have been times when Maoists in civilian clothes attacked the choppers but the gunners failed to retaliate,” said the officer.
