New areas have been included under the ongoing anti-naxal operation, “Anaconda II”, to flush out Maoists from Jharkhand’s West Singhbhum District, a senior police officer said on January 13, reports The Hindu Business Line. “We have included Porahat forest division under our ongoing anti-naxal operation “Anaconda II”, DIG (Kohan) Arun Kumar Singh told newsmen when asked whether the District Police had expanded its anti-Naxal operation beyond Saranda. Asked whether the District administration has any plan to deploy permanent Security Force personnel in Porahat, where the Maoists had set ablaze about 18 vehicles engaged in construction work in November, Singh said it was not possible to deploy security personnel in all places but combing operation had been launched in the region on regular basis. “I do not want to claim that the Maoists’ activities were completely wiped out in Saranda but it was curtailed owing to the mounting pressure from the security personnel,” Singh said.

The Jharkhand Police has sought the introduction of a ‘new policy’ relating to surrendered Maoists and rebels of other splinter groups as the current policy has failed to address certain vital issues, reports The Business Standard, on February 28. Jharkhand Director General of Police (DGP), GS Rath, who retired on February 28, said in Ranchi "There is a re-thinking how to make the policy more attractive and the Special Branch is on the job. We have submitted certain proposals, which I can't open now as they are yet to be adopted, and being examined at the highest level." He added that the existing surrender policy has failed to address some vital issues like open jail concept giving the surrendered extremists to stay fearlessly with their families, their speedy trial and imparting vocational training to make them self-sustenance.

The Uttar Pradesh Police in coordination with the Police of Bihar, Jharkhand, Chhattisgarh and Madhya Pradesh will create a common communication grid to share information and inputs for tackling the Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist)-posed problems effectively, reports The Times of India, on March 24. The decision was taken during the recent inter-state meeting of the Police officials of all these states at Sonebhadra (Uttar Pradesh). After attending the meeting, Deputy Inspector General of Police (DIG), Range, A Satish Ganesh informed, "The basic objective behind creating this grid is to ensure that all important information and intelligence regarding mobility of Maoist groups in any state is shared in a timely manner. It will help keep the cops of all these states alert when an operation against Maoist groups is launched by Police from one of the states. The alertness of Police of all the states would check the possibility of escape by Maoist groups in case of their detection." It is worth mentioning here that mainly three districts of this region including Sonebhadra, Chandauli and Mirzapur are considered as Maoist-affected.

Jharkhand Director General of Police (DGP) has blamed the presence of a number of splinter groups for the increasing number of incidents of Naxal [Left Wing Extremism (LWE)] violence in the first quarter of 2013, reports The Pioneer on April 22. DGP Rajeev Kumar said, “The clash among the various splinter groups results into the increasing number of Maoist violence in the State”. These splinter groups in the State lack any ideology as they have been formed out of the breakaway faction of Maoist organizations, he added. “As these splinter groups have no ideology and resort to killing on trivial issues, the Naxal violence has gone up in the state. On the other hand, other Left Wing Extremism affected States do not have such splinter groups,” he further said. The DGP however, claimed that despite an increase in the LWE incidents, the number of encounters have gone up in the State. According to a report by the Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA), Jharkhand recorded the highest incidents of LWE violence in the first quarter of 2013. Jharkhand has also taken a lead over Chhattisgarh with double the LWE incidents and thrice the deaths reported till date. In Jharkhand, 52 was the death toll out of 118 LWE incidents till March 31 this year, while in Chhattisgarh, 14 deaths out of 59 incidents were recorded in the first quarter of this year (2013). The Security Forces (SFs) have gunned down 18 rebels in the first quarter of 2013 while 14 were killed last year in the first quarter.

Operations against the Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist) will continue to end their mindless violence, says a senior Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF) official on April 30, reports Zee News. Inspector General of Police (CRPF) M V Rao said "We'll pursue them wherever they are as we want to make them realise that indulging in mindless violence is futile." Rao added a robust plan was in place in Jharkhand to effectively deal with them and expected that the Maoists must realise that they could not ruin the lives of common people and instead join the mainstream.

The Union Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA) has raised concern over Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist) terror training camps organised to impart military training for new recruits and planning of special operations against Security Forces in at least seven Maoist-infested States, reports The New Indian Express. The Maoist bastion in Dandakaranya forest region extending over an area of 92,300 square km had held maximum number of camps in the last one year. The camps were organised in Sukma, Bijapur, Dantewada, Narayanpur and Kanker District in Chhattisgarh and Gadchiroli District of Maharashtra. “In 2012, 26 training camps were reportedly organised in these Districts. During the current year, till April 15, six such training camps have been reportedly organised in these districts,” Minister of State for Home Affairs RPN Singh told Lok Sabha (Lower House of the Parliament) on April 30. Singh said these training camps were an important component of the overall military tactics of the CPI-Maoist. Similar camps are organised in other left wing extremists affected states, including Odisha, Jharkhand and West Bengal. Maoists refer to the area as Compact Revolutionary Zone (CRZ) in their military literature. In the last one year, 14 training camps for ultras were organised in Jharkhand followed by 8 camps in Odisha.

The Central Government on May 7 informed the Lok Sabha (Lower House of Parliament) that the Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist) cadres were manufacturing improvised hand grenades and rocket propelled grenades in their arms manufacturing units in Chhattisgarh, Bihar and Jharkhand, reports The Times of India. Union Minister of State for Home Affairs (MHA) RPN Singh said steps taken to bust these manufacturing units included deployment of Security Forces (SFs) at strategic locations, firm Police action against such unlawful activities and intensified intelligence-based anti-Naxal [Left Wing Extremism (LWE)] operations. In response to another question, the Minister informed the House that 532 companies (53,200 personnel) of Central Armed Police Forces (CAPF) were deployed in Maoist-affected states, including Chhattisgarh, Jharkhand, Bihar, West Bengal, Andhra Pradesh, Maharashtra and Odisha. The Government, however, decided to provide 10 additional battalions of CAPF (10,000 personnel), including five battalions (5,000 personnel) of Central Reserve Police Forces (CRPF) to four LWE-affected states, including Jharkhand, Odisha, Bihar and Chhattisgarh.

Union Home Minister Sushilkumar Shinde on May 14 begged to differ with cabinet colleague, Union Rural Development minister Jairam Ramesh, on inclusion of two or more Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist)-affected Districts in the Centre's special development scheme, reports The Times of India. "I have decided Sarju Development Plan, launched in Latehar on lines of Saranda Development Plan, which is on in six panchayats under Manoharpur block of West Singhbhum district, will focus on only 12 blocks in Latehar. If there is need for such development plan in other Districts, it will be taken up separately," said Shinde. Ramesh, during his visit in January 2013, had approved Garhwa District administration's request to include Bhandaria block in the Sarju plan of action and promised to consider further expansion of the plan.

Further, adviser to State Governor, K Vijay Kumar, on June 9 said that the process is on to solve issues plaguing the backward areas in three Maoist-affected Districts under Jhumra Development Plan. “The government has taken initiative to develop Jhumra," said Kumar. Jhumra is spread over three districts - Bokaro, Ramgarh and Hazaribagh. The Government has zeroed in on the most affected villages in these three districts where developmental schemes would be launched under the Jhumra plan within the available budget. Most of area fall under Gomia block in Bokaro. The Government has planned to develop Jhumra, a Maoist-hit hilly terrain, to eradicate extremism by gaining confidence of the residents like they did in Saranda and Saryu areas.

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.

in Latehar District, in West Jharkhand along the border with Chhattisgarh, over 1,200 Policemen and Centrally Armed Police Forces (CAPFs) were deployed to surround areas of the Kumandih forest in Manika block, where over 200 cadres of CPI-Maoists are believed to have come together for a meeting. Continuing the operations for the 10th day in the area, State Police and CAPFs, including Commando Battalion for Resolute Action (CoBRA), destroyed some camps on July 3 and July 4 and seized three Improvised Explosive Devices (IEDs), 13 detonators, several backpacks, mobile chargers and literature from a camp near Murhar hills in Kumandih. Jharkhand Director-General of Police (DGP) Rajiv Kumar who visited the area on July 3 said, “We have information that several top leaders of the Koel Sankh zone were having meetings in the area. We are proceeding cautiously as Maoists had planted explosives in the entire area. In some parts of the thick forest, they have occupied hilly terrain, where they will be an advantage.” Further, in an interview with Pioneer, the DGP said the Security Forces (SFs) will fight the Maoists to the finish in Kumandih jungle, spreading over 50-60 square kilometres. "They should either surrender or face the bullets. They can't escape as we have deployed troops at all the possible exit points," he added. The DGP said five companies of forces drawn from Jharkhand Armed Police and Indian Reserve Battalions were deployed on July 4 to the existing strength of 1,500 troops fighting the Maoists since June 24. "Though the Maoists' presence in Santhal Pargana has been there for the last five years, but my assessment is that they don't have formidable strength. That Balihar could speak to the office in-charge of Amarapara after the ambush shows that they were not in huge numbers during the incident near Kathikund," he added.

Shortage of almost 300,000 Police personnel in nine Left Wing Extremism (LWE) affected States is jeopardising the fight against the Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist), reports The Hindu on July 8. Chhattisgarh, Jharkhand, Odisha, Bihar, Andhra Pradesh, Maharashtra, West Bengal, Madhya Pradesh and Uttar Pradesh had 250,000 vacant positions of head constables and constables, while 50,000 posts of inspectors and sub-inspectors need to be filled. Similarly, these States also need over 1,000 Additional Superintendents of Police and Deputy SPs. The highest number of shortage in Police force is in Uttar Pradesh (180,000 personnel), followed by Andhra Pradesh (30,000), West Bengal (29,000), Bihar (16,000), Chhattisgarh (13,000), Jharkhand (10,000), Madhya Pradesh (6,000) and Odisha (2,000). Notably, in Maharashtra, there are 379 various vacant positions in just two LWE-hit Districts of Gadchiroli and Gondia. At last month’s (June) Chief Ministers’ conference on internal security, Union Home Minister Sushilkumar Shinde told these States that they need to fill these vacancies and that the Centre cannot always fulfil their demands for increasing the deployment of paramilitary forces. Currently, over 80,000 personnel, mainly from the CRPF (66 battalions), the BSF (12 battalions) and the ITBP (five battalions), are deployed in the LWE-hit States. For speedy recruitment, the MHA told these States to relax certain recruitment norms and give preference to locals, who can be appointed on contract basis.

The CPI-Maoist hotbed Rajwar hills in Kumandi forests, around 50 kilometres from Latehar District headquarters, was freed from over 30 years of Naxal [Left-Wing Extremism (LWE)] dominance, in an intense 14-day-long operation that ended on July 10, reports The Telegraph.

Jharkhand Director General of Police (DGP) Rajiv Kumar, who led the operation, said many rebel training camps and hideouts were destroyed and a huge cache of ammunition was recovered. “The entire hill and the adjacent area — right from Latehar to Barwadih — have been secured and are totally under the control of Security Forces,” he added

Coming down heavily on Public Sector Undertakings (PSUs) for displacing tribals, the Union Minister for Rural Development (UMRD) Jairam Ramesh on September 8 blamed their actions for growth of Naxalism-[Left-Wing Extremism (LWEs)] in many areas and cautioned that the era of "forcible acquisition" was now over, reports The Times of India. He said "The record of public sector (PSUs) in displacements is worse than the record of the private sector. This is a sad truth... that more displacement has been caused by government and public sector projects than private sector projects... particularly in Naxal areas. And this is why Naxalism has grown in these areas." Ramesh slammed National Thermal Power Corporation (NTPC) for allegedly seeking Police help for forcibly acquiring land in Keredari block of Jharkhand's Hazaribagh District, where a villager agitating against land acquisition was shot dead two months ago.

Two days after the Jharkhand Police said they had recovered pamphlets that allegedly dwelt on a plan by the CPI-Maoist to abduct Latehar District Collector Aradhana Patnaik, the Msoists, in an audio-statement to The Hindu, rubbished what they said was a “police conspiracy”, reports The Hindu. The Palamu Police had on September 13 claimed to have recovered a country-made revolver, pamphlets and other Maoist literature from a room during a raid on a hotel in Medininagar, following a tip-off. No one was arrested. A senior Police official, however, said on September 14 that the State Police were yet to establish the authenticity of the pamphlets that described the abduction plan. In his denial on September 15, Maoist spokesperson Gopal said the Police were “spreading rumours to turn ordinary people and intellectuals against Maoists” by claiming that they had planned to abduct a woman official.

The Union Minister of Home Affairs (UMHA) Sushilkumar Shinde October 18 while addressing the Consultative Committee Members of Parliament attached to the Ministry said the Security agencies have a lot of ground to cover in neutralizing the armed capability of Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist), who have the power to carry out spectacular attacks against soft targets, reports The Times of India. He said "The CPI-Maoist has the capacity to launch spectacular strikes in its stronghold areas (like Chhattisgarh, Jharkhand and Odisha), especially against soft targets." He further said "The role of the Central Armed Police Forces is of great importance in this regard since 90 battalions (around 90,000 personnel) have been deployed for anti-Naxalite operations." The members discussed the Maoist ideology of armed struggle and militarization, violence profile, government policy and approach to deal with Naxalism Left-Wing Extremism (LWE), monitoring mechanism, security and development related measures taken by the central government.

A Police official from Khuti District of Jharkhand told IANS that cadres of the People’s Liberation Front of India (PLFI), a breakaway faction of the Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist), are indulging in contract killing, reports The Times of India. "We have now found a new trend -- Maoist guerrillas are indulging in contract killing. We have blocked levy collection at many points, and to generate resources, PLFI members are indulging in contract killing," said the Police official. "People engaged in rivalry or enmity are hiring PLFI members at rate of Rs.10,000 to Rs.30,000 to execute contract killings," the police official said. Police earlier considered the killings an outcome of rivalry between the CPI-Maoist and PLFI. Investigations into some cases of murder, however, revealed the new trend.
