In a path-breaking measure, the Union Government has decided to involve missionary groups of various hues in taking its programmes to the people in areas affected by Naxalite [Left-Wing Extremism (LWE)] activities, reports The Hindu. Apart from giving the green signal to engage Ramakrishna Mission Ashram in Narainpur District in Chhattisgarh, which the Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist) claims to be a liberated zone, Union Minister of Rural Development Jairam Ramesh has decided to engage the services of Catholic bishops to spearhead development activities among the tribals of Odisha, Jharkhand and Chhattisgarh, three States affected by LWE activities. In a letter to Chhattisgarh Chief Minister Raman Singh, Ramesh has given his clearance for an INR 230 million proposal of the ashram to undertake various activities in the Maoist-affected District. According to Ramesh, the ashram is the only group working in Narainpur District since its inception in 1985 while the Government has been unable to make its presence felt.

The Central Government on January 30 admitted that execution of road projects in Naxal [Left Wing Extremism (LWE)]-hit States has been delayed and only 730 kilometres of the proposed 5,477 kilometres highways network could be completed so far, reports IBN Live. "So far, work in 730 kilometres length has been completed. There has been poor response from contractors for works in Chhattisgarh, Jharkhand, Maharashtra and Odisha," an official statement by the Road Transport and Highways Ministry said. The Government had approved a programme for development of 5,477 kilometres roads in 34 LWE affected District in eight States at an estimated cost of INR 73 billion, the statement said.

The abduction of two Italians, the murder of a Sub-Inspector in Malkangiri and the abduction of a Member of Legislative Assembly (MLA), is being seen in security circles as the outcome of a tussle between the Andhra and Orissa factions of Communist Party of India-Maoists (CPI-Maoist) operating in the state, reported Times of India, quoting media and official reports of March 24. Maoists in most areas of the state function under the Orissa State Organizing Committee and Andhra Orissa Border Special Zonal Committee, each body with cadres attached to different divisions under it. The former had claimed responsibility for the abduction of the Italians while the latter said they had kidnapped MLA Jhina Hikaka.

The feud reportedly started when Sabyasachi Panda was put in charge of the Orissa group five years ago and he began giving an Oriya face to the cadre, replacing those from Andhra Telugus. This was not to the liking of the CPI-Maoist top brass, who looked for opportunities to clip his wings. Sources said Panda was taken to task after the murder of Swami Laxmanananda Saraswati, for which the party had no approval. "We have information that the party does not have the policy of kidnapping foreigners and Panda is likely to be punished further after the crisis is over," said a senior Police Official. Insiders say Maoists in Orissa support Panda more than his Telugu counterparts.

The State Police organisation did not procure adequate number of modern weapons while issued only a fraction of procured weapons to operational forces, said Comptroller and Auditor General, report of which was tabled in the State Legislative Assembly on March 29, reports The Hindu. It says weapons numbering 10,594 (value INR 148 million) including 5,596 modern weapons (35 per cent) valued INR 138.3 million were retained in the State provincial store at Cuttack as on March 2011 un-issued on the ground of non-availability of trained staff to handle these weapons. “All these weapons meant for countering Left Wing Extremism (LWE) activities were not supplied even to the field units in LWE affected districts. About 47 per cent of the total available AK-47 rifles remained idle at the State Provincial Store,” CAG said. According to reports, in 36 Police Districts, despite availability of 28,814 weapons valuing INR 351.8 million in its armouries, including 10,281 modern weapons, the same were not issued to police stations and outposts (Ops) on the ground of non-availability of trained staff to handle these weapons. “Records of 48 test checked police stations and outposts in eight test checked police districts revealed that while no weapons were available in 13 police stations and four outposts, one pistol each was available in three police stations, modern weapons like AK-47 rifles were available only in two police stations. In remaining 26 PSs, old weapons like musket, bayonet and revolvers were available,” CAG finds.

Paolo Bosusco, who was held hostage by Odisha State Organizing Committee (OSOC) of the Communist Party of India-Maoist, is said to have revealed vital information about Sabyasachi Panda, the secretary of OSOC, reports The Times of India. Paolo estimated Panda has just about 20 cadres, including 10 women, each armed with a gun. The unit has one VHF set, one walky-talky, two tiffin bombs, one laptop with data card and one generator. He described the OSOC leader as "sick". "He regularly takes medicines. I don't know what they were," Paolo told the Police. "They change their places frequently and never stay in villages. They prefer hill tops with streams nearby. I too travelled with them from one place to the other," a source quoted the Italian as saying. Paolo said he slept with others in the jungle one night when Panda woke up everyone and asked them to "lie down quietly". That was the time when members of "another group" reportedly came searching for them, a police source said. The former hostage even remembered the names of the Maoist cadres and identified pictures the Police showed him. Paolo's statement corroborated messages received earlier that one Suresh, a unit commander belonging to Andhra Odisha Border Special Zonal Committee (AOBSZC), along with about 30 cadres had been scouting for Panda through the tribal hamlets located in inaccessible regions. OSOC is said to have fallen out with the AOBSZC.

according to a report in The Times of India, Maoists are setting up parallel governments, janata sarkars, in the interior pockets of Andhra-Orissa Border (AOB), buoyed by the success of a similar exercise in the Dandakaranya region of Chhattisgarh. The Gumma area committee in Malkangiri District set up a janata sarkar in the interior villages of AOB on August 5 when the Maoists distributed rice to 800 tribal families. The rice was reportedly collected from contractors and businessmen. They assured the tribals that they would construct cement concrete roads to the interior villages and appoint teachers to the schools with their own funds. They also assured the tribals that medical facilities in PHCs (public health centre) would be provided by them very soon. Gumma area committee secretary Rukdhar, top leader Golla Ravi alias Madhav alias Sridhar along with five other key leaders were present at the rice distribution programme, sources said. The tribal welfare programmes would be implemented regularly, Maoist leader Rukdhar said. He said that education was a basic necessity to develop the tribal areas and stated that he would appoint doctors to provide necessary medicines to the tribals, who are susceptible to malaria and other water-borne diseases. "All these facilities are provided by us in the forests of Dantewada, Bijapur and Sukma districts in Chhattigarh," he told the gathering.

The latest situation report on the Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist) prepared by the State Government indicates that the Maoists are importing cadres from neighbouring Chhattisgarh and Jharkhand to the Sambalpur-Deogarh-Sundargarh (SDS) Division, reports The Pioneer. They are trying hard to revive the SDS Division, which has been in limbo after the tough action initiated by the Police. According to sources, young boys and girls of these areas are reluctant to join the Maoist organisation, for which the top CPI-Maoist bosses have asked trained cadres from the neighbouring States to strengthen the SDS Division. While violence by the Bansadhara, Ghumusara and Kalinga Nagar Divisions of the CPI-Maoist is under control, the Maoist continue to pose problems for Security Forces (SFs) in Nuapada, Bolangir and Bargarh Districts, where they are reportedly on a spree of expansion activities, said sources. According to statistics, 71 incidents of Maoist violence have occurred in the State taking a toll of 18 civilian lives and 12 SF personnel till the end of July this year. Killing of civilians has been the highest in Koraput District where nine people were slain by Maoists this year, closely followed by Malkangiri, where five civilians were killed. SFs arrested 98 Maoists while 16 surrendered this year till last July.

In an assessment of armed cadres of the Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist) in the State, the Odisha Police has found that between 70 and 80 per cent of them do not belong to the State, reports The Indian Express. Around 50 per cent of the total armed cadres belong to the Andhra-Odisha Border Special Zonal Committee (AOBSZC) operating in Koraput and Malkangiri Districts, a senior paramilitary officer said. The study also put the total number of armed Maoist cadre in Odisha at a little over 500. While many of them joined the outfit as recently as six months ago, some have been members for 30 years. The firearms they use range from single barrel muzzle loader to AK-47 and 9 mm pistol. “It’s the first time we could build a complete profile of Maoist cadres operating inside Odisha and the kind of firearms they use, their sociological background, their aliases, how long they have been operating in Odisha etc,” said an official at the home department. Only Andhra Pradesh has done such a profile of its Maoists so far. Officers admitted that the real numbers could be higher as there is a lot of movement from other states to Odisha, particularly from Chhattisgarh and Andhra Pradesh. There may be other Maoists offering cover to actual armed cadres whose number hasn’t been calculated. The AOBSZC is the biggest, with an estimated 240-250 cadres. The second biggest committee is Dandakaranya Zonal Committee, which has around 100 armed cadres, mostly from Chhattisgarh. The third biggest zonal committee is the Orissa State Organising Committee, which has around 80 armed cadres. Officials said Odisha Maovadi Party formed by the recently expelled Sabyasachi Panda may not have more than 20 armed cadres.

Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist) politburo member and hardline strategist Katakam Sudarshan alias Anand, who carries a reward of INR 1.2 million on his head, is poised to replace Koteswara Rao alias Kishanji as the supreme leader of the Maoists in West Bengal, Jharkhand and Odisha, reports Hindustan Times. Kishanji was killed by Security Forces (SFs) in a gunfight on November 24, 2011. “We have information that Anand, who is a politburo member and among the senior leaders of the party is replacing or has replaced Kishenji. He would be or is heading the eastern regional bureau of the CPI(Maoist). We have alerted our forces who are keeping a strict vigil,” said a home department official. Sudarshan is known for his ability to draw up strategies in both the political and military spheres of action and mostly works at the planning stage. Sudarshan, who hails from Adilabad in Andhra Pradesh, is an engineer by training. He joined the Maoist fold in the 1980s. The Police describe him as “a soft spoken stocky man around 5ft 2inches tall with a dark complexion”. SFs suspect that Sudarshan planned the massacre of 75 CRPF personnel in Dantewada, Chhattisgarh on April 6, 2010.
