Meanwhile, the Gadchiroli Police said that the Naxal [Left Wing Extremism (LWE)] dalam (squad) ‘commanders’ manage to raise around INR 50 million to INR 70 million every year by means of extortion and other such activities, reports The Asian Age. The main source of funds for the Naxals in Gadchiroli is extorting money from the contractors dealing in tendu leaves, which are used for making beedis, and is one of the major produces of the District. Another target was the road contractors. “Naxalites extort money from the road contractors, who have to pay them, as they either threaten to stall construction of roads or set their machinery on fire. The Naxals raise INR 3 million to INR 4 million every year through this,” said an unnamed senior officer of the Naxal cell. Discussing the fund trail, the Police sources told The Asian Age that Kosa Reddy, the ‘secretary’ of the Dandakaranya Special Zonal Committee (DSZC), retains some of the money needed for the functioning of the dalams, and then hands over the rest of the sum to the Central Committee chief Mallojula Venugopal, who is the head of planning and finance for activities in four States.

concerned over mass resignations of panchayat (village level local self-Government institution) members in Gadchiroli District, the Centre has asked the Maharashtra Government to ensure safety and security of elected representatives from CPI-Maoist threats in the Naxal [Left Wing Extremism (LWE)] hotbed, reports Business Standard on June 24. Union Home Minister P. Chidambaram spoke to Chief Minister Prithviraj Chavan recently and asked him to do the needful to protect the elected civic body members in Gadchiroli, many of who have put in papers after the Maoist intimidation. Official sources said during last one month, two Gadchiroli zilla parishad (district level local self-Government institution) members from Etapalli tehsil (revenue unit) quit their posts following Naxal ultimatum. Four panchayat and one zilla parishad member in Bhamragarh in the District had also resigned from their respective posts. The sources said of late Maoists have abducted many panchayat or zilla parishad members in Gadchiroli and released them only after they agreed to abide by the Naxal diktats. The Maoists, they said, do not want any development in rural areas of Gadchiroli as under-development and lack of connectivity give them free run in these remote areas.

The Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist) has slammed Maharashtra Forest Minister Patangrao Kadam for the plan to expand Navegaon national park, reports The Times of India. The Maoists have issued a pamphlet through the North Gadchiroli-Gondia division committee of the CPI-Maoist, which is controlled by the Maharashtra state committee. They have claimed that the ambitious project of extending the periphery of the national park would displace 30 hamlets in Deori tehsil (revenue unit) of Gondia District. Apart from opposing the national park expansion plan, the Maoists have also urged the elected representatives to resign from their posts as they have so far played an indifferent role in addressing the grievances of people who voted them to power.

Gadchiroli Superintendent of Police (SP), Suvez Haque told The Hindu that he did not have the complete information about the Nadekal incident, since he joined after that incident took place. “But about the Fulagondi incident, I have told the SDPO of Korchi to investigate and we will take action if anybody is found violating human rights,” he said. On 28 November last year, the people and local representatives of Korchi had submitted a demand charter to the government representatives in Gadchiroli. It included 22 demands. The demands included construction of roads in the region, payments of wages under Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee Scheme (MGNREGS), improvement of health facilities in the region and cancellation of mining leases. “But not even a signal demand was fulfilled, on the contrary police atrocities have increased in the region which has forced us to take this extreme step,” said Vairagade.

The Sarpanch (head of Gram Panchayat, village level local self government institution) association of Korchi tehsil (revenue unit) in Gadchiroli District decided to observe a day-long hunger strike on July 28 (today) protesting District administration's alleged neglect of developmental issues, reports The Times of India. On July 25, the village headmen association and other organizations are to observe 'chakka jaam' (transport strike) in a follow up action. District collector, Gadchiroli, Abhishek Krishna said that the officials were available at his office where the village headmen can come for a meeting anytime. "Out of 23 demands we have come to know about, 14 have already been met and while on others work is underway. There are a few which are not in our hands but we have sent them to higher ups for resolution," said Krishna. He said there is no question of mining in the area as the district administration had sent proposal for cancellation of prospective licence. "Last year, around Rs 12 crore were spent in Korchi. Around Rs 7 crore were spent through the gram panchayat where sarpanchs handled the projects. Neglect of development is a baseless allegation," said Krishna adding that district administration was also trying to ensure a bank is opened at Kotgul in Korchi tehsil.

The Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist) have appealed to the masses to observe martyr's week from July 28 to August 3 in memory of 150 colleagues who lost their lives, including around 40 in Central India's Dandakaranya, in the fight against Government forces, reports The Times of India. The Maoists have also called a bandh (shutdown strike) during the period. The Maoists have urged people to erect memorials in villages across areas dominated by them to remember the sacrifices of martyred comrades. A press release by spokesperson Gudsa Usendi of Dandakaranya Special Zonal committee (DKSZC) of the CPI-Maoist also calls on people to strengthen the Naxal [Left Wing Extremism (LWE)] movement. Rallying around the slogan 'Naxalbari ek hi raasta', the Maoists have urged the masses to join their fight for change against the corruption-driven political parties. The Maoists have claimed that Government, which may be projecting development, has been exposed on issues like unemployment, poverty, scams, inflation, displacements and corruption.

The Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist) in Gadchiroli District hit out strongly at leaders who have been using the “Gandhian” ideal of non-violence in spearheading the community forest rights (CFR) movement in tribal areas, reports The Indian Express. They have charged Mohan Hirabai Hiralal, who pioneered the model in Mendha-Lekha village, with “waylaying the tribals from the path of conflict”. “Hiralal is a follower of Vinoba Bhave, who had sought land from the rich. He is trying to cover up the violence by capitalists against the poor by professing non-violence,” says a press note released by the Gadchiroli divisional committee of CPI-Maoist. CFR has been provided by the Forest Rights Act and Mendha-Lekha was the first village in the country to secure it after a long struggle. It paved the way for thousands of villages in the country to get community rights over their traditional nistar (utility) forests.

District administration of Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist)-affected Gadchiroli is hoping to see reversal of the Maoist induced trend of resignations by elected representatives, reports The Times of India. With two panchayat samiti (block level local self government institution) members from Etapalli having withdrawn their resignations, senior officials felt that the democratic machineries would soon return to normalcy. Buoyed by the success of Korchi where the village headmen and their deputies withdrew their en masse resignations after a negotiation, District collector Abhishek Krishna felt that several elected representatives are willing to return to the democratic set up. "Only two out of four panchayat samiti members had furnished resignations in proper format but now both have withdrawn them. Other resignations were not accepted as they were not in a proper format," said Krishna. The withdrawal means that the panchayat samiti would become functional once again.

"There is no dearth of funds for developmental projects in the district. The state government has provided ample funds to all the departments.

The Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA) has advised Naxalite-affected states to set up joint task forces while choppers are provided for anti-Maoist operations, Andhra Pradesh Director-General of Police V Dinesh Reddy said on December 24, reports Zee News. "Recently the MHA took a decision to set up joint task force where MHA will give us choppers so that we can send them to a distance of about 10 kilometers across state borders from where joint operations could be carried out," he told reporters. Such joint operations were already being carried out at Gadchiroli in Maharashtra, Chhattisgarh and Andhra-Odisha border areas bordering the eight Maoist-affected Districts of Andhra Pradesh, he said. "There are over 300 underground cadres from Andhra Pradesh, of which around 200 migrated to other states, while the rest of the underground cadres stay in bordering Districts of other states and occasionally cross over into Andhra Pradesh. However, the Andhra Pradesh Police has been driving them back," he added. DGP V Dinesh Reddy further said that the State Police successfully kept left-wing extremism under check this year by arresting as many 299 extremists, including Maoist leaders while 304 Maoists surrendered. There were four exchanges of fire where three extremists died and 51 weapons were recovered, he said.
