The Odisha Maobadi Party (OMP) chief, Sabyasachi Panda, on January 24, issued an audiotape indicating his interest to come to the dialogue table, reports The Pioneer. He would think about his next plan if the State Government shows any political will to create a congenial atmosphere for beginning of a peace process. Panda said that the State should make its stand on peace dialogue clear by creating a space at the political level. He added “For a suitable atmosphere to initiate peace process and start dialogue with us, the Government should stop violence and oppression on us.”

The Union Rural Development Minister Jairam Ramesh has written to the Prime Minister Manmohan Singh stressing greater involvement by the Central Government to improve the effectiveness of the government's strategy in fighting the Naxal [Left-Wing Extremism (LWE)] influence, reports The Economic Times, on March 2. The Minister further writes that lack of power, intermittent mobile connectivity, very poor health and education facilities are top complaints of the people in the LWE-affected areas. Back from a two-day visit to one of the worst affected districts of the country, Nuapada, in the Odisha-Chhattisgarh border area, Ramesh has suggested to the Prime Minister that the central government increase its presence in the "hotspots" in LWE affected areas located in junction of two or three states. Ramesh said in his letter to the Prime Minister, "My visit to Nuapada reinforces a point I have been making to you often that we need to enhance the presence of the Central Government those hotspots which are in the bi-junction and tri-junction areas. Many of these hotspots are in remote and inaccessible areas, which call for decisive intervention on our part by expanding the social and physical infrastructure". Ramesh stressed that efforts to contain the Maoist influence would remain ineffective as long as these issues are not addressed.

Meanwhile, the Odisha Government, on March 4, asked the Centre to give more paramilitary personnel to strengthen its battle against the Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist), at a meeting of extremism-affected States in New Delhi, reports The Times of India. Director General of Police (DGP), Prakash Mishra, who attended the meet, said "We have sought deployment of two more battalions of Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF) in the State." The State Government has been highlighting the improvement in Left-Wing Extremism (LWE) problem in the State during 2012 with the death of 10 Maoists, arrest of 167 and surrender of 35 cadres. Currently, six battalions of Border Security Force (BSF), eight battalions of CRPF and one Commando Battalion for Resolute Action (CoBRA) are deployed in the State. The Centre has agreed to deploy two more battalions of BSF in the State, police sources said. Maoist violence has been reported in areas falling under 270 police stations in 64 districts of these states.

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.

Optimistic of bringing the Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist) menace under control to a great extent in Odisha soon, Director General of Police (DGP) Prakash Mishra on May 2 appealed to the president of Maoist-backed Chasi Muliya Adivasi Sangh (CMAS), Nachika Linga, to surrender, reports IBN Live. Stating that situation was gradually improving in once troubled area of Narayanpatna area, the DGP said surrender of over 2,000 tribals after deserting CMAS since January 2013, has helped the administration. "There is a sign of improvement in Narayanpatna and the development activities need to be expedited in the area to instill confidence among the locals," Mishra said. Focusing on the ongoing counter insurgency operations in the State, he said, "Out of 19 Maoist-hit Districts, the Naxals have been controlled to a good extent in as many as 11 Districts and we are hopeful of controlling the Maoists in others Districts in next few months." He said that special focus is being given to Rayagada and Kandhamal Districts and Security measures have been strengthened in the two Districts. "A battalion of BSF [Border Security Force] will be deployed in Raygada and Kandhamal districts which will strengthen our fight against the extremists," the DGP said. Further, an anti-extremist training school along with a hub for Special Operation Group (SOG) were all set to be established at Koraput soon and land for the same was selected near the railway station in the town, DGP Mishra said in the press meet at Koraput.

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.

Speaking on the continuing operation of Security Forces to arrest Odisha Maobadi Party (OMP) leader Sabyasachi Panda, who was cornered in the jungles bordering Ganjam, Gajapati, and Kandhamal Districts, Odisha Director-General of Police (DGP) Prakash Mishra on May 11 said he was confident that the operation would be successful in the near future, reports The Hindu. But he was reluctant to divulge any details about the operation against Sabyasachi and his OMP. Speaking on vacancies in Police Stations, Mishra said all vacant posts in Police Stations in the Maoist-prone areas were being filled on priority basis. In the next phase, vacancies in all other Police Stations would be filled. The DGP added that security would be enhanced in Malkangiri District, especially in the Mathili Police Station area and the cut off area of Chitrakonda reservoir, where Maoists increased their presence in the recent past.

Security operations against the Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist) were intensified along Odisha-Chhattisgarh border in Malkangiri and Koraput Districts with deployment of additional Security Forces on May 31, reports The Times of India. "More forces have been sent to the border areas and combing operations, launched on Tuesday [May 28], intensified. Though the situation is under control, we are not taking any chance," said Superintendent of Police-SP (Malkangiri) Akhileswar Singh. Police said two more batches of Border Security Force (BSF) were sent to Mathili in Malkangiri District to strengthen the counter-insurgency operations and check possible infiltration of Maoists into Odisha after the carnage at Dharba ghat road in Chhattisgarh on May 25. Police suspects the Maoists, post May 25 attack, are hiding at Tulsi Dongor, which has a thick forest cover and no permanent security camp. While 90% of Tulsi Dongor is within Chhattisgarh, the remaining portion falls in Odisha. "Our operations are yet to yield any result. Tulsi Dongor being a much safer place, it is suspected that the ultras have preferred to stay put there instead of sneaking into Odisha," the SP said.

Noting that heavy deployment of Security Forces in neighbouring Chhattisgarh was driving Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist) cadres to his state, Odisha Chief Minister Naveen Patnaik on June 5 demanded two additional Central Reserve Police force (CRPF) battalions and a military chopper to “effectively” tackle the Maoists, reports The Hindu. Participating in a conference of Chief Ministers on internal security, Patnaik said two additional battalions should be provided to match the deployment in Nuapada, Baragarh and Balangir Districts. Besides, he demanded a one-time assistance from the Centre for strengthening the security infrastructure in the western Districts in view of the present level of Maoist build up in these places.

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.

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.

Funds are being siphoned off because of corrupt administrative set ups in these backward areas."

All 16 CCTV cameras at Malkangiri District Sub-jail in Odisha are lying defunct for past one year, reports The Times of India on September 27. Sub-jail Superintendent Gopinath Chowdhury said "We have informed the higher-ups about non-functioning of the cameras, but they are yet to be repaired." The cameras were installed in 2010 to increase surveillance and check untoward incidents on the jail premises. By mid-2012, these developed snag and no longer serve their purpose. The security at the Sub-jail, which houses a large number of Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist) cadres, has come under the scanner in the wake of possible Maoist attacks to rescue cadres, languishing in jails across the State. The Sub-jail is also grappling with staff shortage. The posts of a Sub-Assistant jailor and three warders are lying vacant for over one year. Officials said while the intake capacity of the prison was increased from 89 to 308 in 2012, adequate staff has not been posted yet. "Given the number of Maoists lodged in the jail, we need at least two more platoons of armed police force," the jail superintendent added.

He said "Gram sabhas (Village Assembly) were not held properly and lands were acquired in faulty ways. This has led to Maoists taking full advantage of the situation.

The Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist) menace would be eliminated from Odisha within a year as the Police are energised and motivated to end the Maoists’ activities, asserted Odisha Director General of Police (DGP) Prakash Mishra on October 3, reports The Pioneer. Mishra made the claim while providing financial incentives to 19 Maoists, who had earlier surrendered in Jajpur District, at a function at the Kalingagar Police Station. He distributed INR 372,000 to each erstwhile Maoist and interacted with them. Mishra said the Maoists would be sternly dealt with. The Government is always ready to rehabilitate the Maoists who are interested to surrender or else they would face bullets, he warned. Ex-Maoist Tukuna Basra said, “We are now happy. We were leading a hell of life in jungles. We are being physically and mentally tortured by the Maoist group leaders. We have now got a new lease of life. We also appeal to our Maoist brothers to follow our path.”

Chief Minister (CM) Naveen Patnaik, on December 10, said that his Government has successfully contained the activities of Left Wing Extremists (LWE), reports New India Express.

Naveen said 21 Maoists were killed in 57 incidents till November as against 10 in 2012.

Meanwhile, Naveen Patnaik dismissing the opposition parties including Congress and the Bharatiya Janata Party’s (BJP) allegations that the crime records of the State proved inefficiency of Government in maintaining law and order situation, the CM said the situation in the State is by and large peaceful.
