Chhattisgarh Police on February 19 said at least 31 bodies of Maoists have been recovered since the start of the year (2016) with nine alleged Maoists being killed in six big operations in the past three weeks alone, reports The Indian Express. Senior Police officers said the number was achieved after a shift in strategy that has seen an increased use of District Reserve Group (DRG), a unit of the State Police, that has among its recruits several surrendered Maoists. Bastar Inspector General of Police (IGP) S.R.P. Kalluri said, “The turning point in Bastar has been the use of the DRG. I have no hesitation in saying that much of the credit goes to lower rung surrendered Maoist cadres, who have specific information. They never lose their abilities in a jungle, and they are motivated to see that Naxalism ends so that they can go back to their villages.”

CPI-Maoist hassaid that “goons and anti-social elements” are creating havoc in Bastar region of Chhattisgarh in the name of anti-Maoist operations, reports The Hindu on March 1. A recent press statement issued by Mohan, the new ‘secretary’ of south Bastar divisional committee of the CPI-Maoist, also claimed that the recent attacks on Human Rights activists and journalists in Bastar were orchestrated at the behest of right-wing groups. “The atrocities on Bastar tribals are at their peak due to the BJP government’s policy to loot minerals and land of Bastar tribals. It is all a part of a bigger conspiracy to render the indigenous Tribals landless. Tribal women are being gang-raped. There is no such thing as administration in Sukma, Dantewada and Bijapur district of Bastar,” said the statement from Mohan, who has reportedly replaced senior leader Ganesh Uike as the ‘secretary’ of South Bastar divisional committee of the Maoists. “Innocent civilians are being killed and branded as Maoists and propaganda is being carried out in the media. Villagers from interior areas are being threatened with arrests and being made to surrender as Maoists,” he added. The Maoist leader also claimed that the Police killed an eight-year-old child in Hurra village of Bastar on February 19. While appealing to the people of Bastar to condemn the attacks on Human Right activists and journalists, the Maoist leader asked the government to dissolve the District Reserve Guard (DRG), a recently formed special anti-Maoist unit of Bastar Police, consisting largely of local tribal youth but including some former dreaded Maoist leaders.

in a bold initiative, the tribals of a village panchayat (village level local self government institution) in Chhattisgarh’s Sukma District have decided to oppose Maoist atrocities carried out in the name of people’s movement and devise their own efforts to prevent violence by the Maoists, reports The Hindu on May 6. Armed with bow and arrows and other traditional weapons, youth in the area can be seen patrolling the peripheral areas of their villages throughout the night to ban the entry of Maoists. The practice started two months ago in Kumakoleng and Nama villages that are under Kumakoleng gram panchayat located about 22 kms from Tongpal Police Station on the National Highway- 30 which connects Jagdalpur to Sukma. “We were disturbed with the Maoists’ act of obstructing development which had resulted lack of power supply and no proper road connectivity in our villages. In the name of police informers, innocent villagers have been killed,” Aayta Karma, a resident of Nama village, said. “Braving Naxal threats, the youth from these two villages have decided not to allow anymore violence in the area. Now we want development and peace,” Karma added. “While patrolling, youth come face-to-face with Naxals twice, but on both the occasions the ultras fled after facing strong opposition from us,” he said. “Villagers from Kumakoleng have requested us to set up a police camp in their area which is quite in the interior. We have assured them to think over it. As of now, we have stepped up patrolling in the region to ensure security to them,” Sukma Additional Superintendent of Police (ASP) Santosh Singh said.

the Chhattisgarh State Government extended the ban on the CPI-Maoist and its six frontal organisations for another year, reports The Hindustan Times on May 15. “The ban on the CPI(Maoist) and its six frontal organisations has been extended for another one year,” a State Home Department official said on May 15. The CPI-Maoist was first banned along with its affiliates in Chhattisgarh in April 2006 under section 3 of Chhattisgarh Special Public Security Act-2005, and since then the State Government has been extending the ban every year. The six frontal organisations of the Maoists that have also been banned are -- Dandakaranya Adivasi Kisan Mazdoor Sangh, Krantikari Adivasi Mahila Sangh, Krantikari Adivasi Balak Sangh, Krantikari Kisan Committee, Mahila Mukti Manch and Jantana Sarkar.

Naxalism[Left Wing Extremism, LWE] is a very old and complex socio-economic problem which cannot be solved politically, opined Union Minister of Tribal Affairs Jual Oram, while interacting with reporters in Raipur District of Chhattisgarh on June 25, reports The Pioneer. He reached Bastar as part of ‘Vikas Parv’ being celebrated by the Central Government to inform people about its achievements during the past two years. “We promise that this problem will not linger for long and will end defiantly because in a democratic nation the ballot rules and not the bullet,” he said. According to the Minister, Naxalism has started to weaken and the Naxals are returning to the mainstream of development. The government has sufficient funds for welfare and rehabilitation of Naxals however still the government puts up any fresh demand it can be considered, he stated.

Chhattisgarh’s Director General of Police (DGP), Anti-Naxal-[Left-Wing Extremism (LWE)] Operations (ANO), D.M. Awasthi condemned instances of Police atrocities and fake encounters in Bastar region of the State, reports The Hindu on June 28. DGP Awasthi, who took charge as the first ever DGP of the ANO five months ago, said that “These things should not have happened. I have issued written instructions also. The state is the protector of the people. If we catch a Maoist, he should be arrested. It is really inhuman to kill anybody even if he is guilty. The Constitution and the law do not provide us that power. But when there is fire from the Maoists, we should retaliate. “I condemn the misbehaviour with ladies and fake encounters. If it is propaganda, we should not worry but if it is true, guilty people should be punished. The police are not above the law. We have been given certain duties and responsibilities and I believe in honest police working — whether it is during operations in forests or city policing. Nobody is allowed to misbehave with the common man and even with criminals; we should not kill them in fake encounters.”

The Chhattisgarh Government, on October 23, said that it was ready to hold a dialogue with Naxals [Left Wing Extremists (LWEs)] under the purview of democracy and constitution, reports Indian Express. “Mutual dialogue is the foundation of democracy. The State Government is ready for talk with any side, including the Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist), to solve the Naxal issue. “Government’s doors for talks with Naxals are always open provided that the dialogue must be under the purview of democracy and constitution,” State’s Home Minister Ramsewak Paikra said in a statement. The Minister said Chief Minister (CM) Raman Singh had already said many times in past that the Government is ready for peace talk with Naxals if they shun violence and arms. Moreover, the CM had also said that the Government was ready to embrace Naxals, who want to surrender and join the mainstream, Paikra said. The State Government has formulated an attractive surrender and rehabilitation policy for the Maoists who wish to surrender and lead a peaceful life, he said, adding that surrendered cadres are taking benefits of the policy. “The government’s policy and intention is clear for a permanent solution of the Maoist problem,” he said. The statement comes in the wake of media reports that the Supreme Court, on October 21, had asked the Centre and Chhattisgarh Government to initiate peace talks to end Maoist violence in the State.

The Chhattisgarh Government has ordered to block at least 40 bank accounts in Naxal [Left Wing Extremism (LWE)]-hit regions of Bastar District and Rajnandgaon District following “suspicious” transactions in these accounts in the aftermath of demonetisation of two high value currency notes on November 22, reports The Asian Age. Officials told that they have been alerted by bank authorities following high transactions in these accounts during November 10-15. The bank accounts had deposits of INR 60 million during the period. He added that Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist) might have deposited the old notes in these accounts to redeem the defunct money.Meanwhile, more than 50 banks in Naxal-hit areas of Chhattisgarh have recorded deposits of nearly INR 200 million within two weeks till November 22, reports The New Indian Express. Based on an intelligence report, transactions in these accounts have been put on hold. Police suspect the money deposited belonged to the Naxals and that the latter is using the bank accounts of other people to escape the demonetisation drive.Special Director General (Naxal Operations and Special Intelligence Bureau) Durgesh Madhav Awasthi told: “We have issued an instruction that after demonetisation. The Naxals will bring out huge hoarded money buried in the ground for mobilisation in a bid to save it from becoming illegal tender. They are applying the two-way approach to save their money: first, they are returning old money to their contractors and asking them to provide new currencies after getting it converted; secondly, they are using their rural and urban networks to deposit their money in banks.” “We are getting such information from all eight Naxal-hit districts. In the last three to four days, we have identified people in whose accounts money was deposited, and have sent their names to the Superintendent of Police (SP), Collector and banks, asking them to stop transactions in such accounts till it is established that the deposited money belongs to account holders. The depositors will themselves speak about the source of money. It is also possible, in some cases, that money belongs to the depositors,” he said. “However, as per information, Maoists have deposited big amounts in the accounts of people having very little transactions or having ‘Jan Dhan’ accounts. I have instructed Superintendents of Police and bank officials to inquire into such accounts. More than 50 accounts have been traced so far, but their numbers are increasing. We have information of Rs. 15-20 crore being deposited in such accounts,” he added.
