After a slew of abductions and repeated threats from Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist) during recent months, Indian Railways employees posted in far-flung areas which fall under Maoist-affected zones have sent an SOS to Railway Minister Dinesh Trivedi for better protection during duty hours, reports The Indian Express. While the coal belts in eastern and central India and key routes in the east coast region are the main areas from where these complaints have poured in, a new section proving to be a headache is Gadchiroli in Maharashtra, bordering Chhattisgarh. The Lumding section post in Tinsukia, Assam, is also another area from where complaints have poured in. The matter came to a flashpoint when an assistant loco pilot was abducted late last year and money had to be paid as ransom to get him released. Faced with this problem, the railway unions have threatened to pull out men and women engaged in vital operation-related work in these areas. “We have taken up the matter with the apex level in the ministry, including the chairman and member staff. No one wants a crippling strike, but with so many complaints pouring in, we might have no other option if we cannot find a solution,” said Shiv Gopal Mishra, general secretary of All India Railwaymen’s Federation.

Several posters written in red, blue and green ink were pasted by the Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist) cadres at public places and Government offices in Dandai and Chinia areas of Garhwa District in the night of January 6 asking the villagers, Government officials and newly elected panchayat (village level local self-Government institution) representatives to change their modus operandi, reports The Times of India. A day before [January 5], the Maoists also posted similar posters on the walls of Ranka and Ramkanda block (administrative division) offices, Ranka market, passenger shed, pramukh office and Udaypur bazaar of Ramkanda block. The posters also warned the Tritiya Prastuti Committee (TPC) to stop its activities. However, Police removed all the posters. Garhwa Superintendent of Police Michael Raj S said, "We have information that Maoists have been active in some parts of the district in a bid to consolidate their support base." Police are aware of the recent activities of the Maoists.

As the filing of nominations for the panchayat (village level local self-Government institution) elections began on January 7, Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist) posters were found in Nuapada District where the Maoists claimed that they would participate in the polls, reports IBN Live. The posters, written both in Hindi and Odia, were found in Nuapada and Komna blocks (administrative division) on January 7. However, in both the areas, the posters carried different messages. Posters written in Odia - issued by CPI-Maoist Chhattisgarh-Odisha division - were found in gram panchayats of Komna block, Bhainsadani gram panchayat of Boden block and Nangelbeda and Ghatmal gram panchayats of Sinapali block asking aspirants to take their consent for contesting in the polls. The Maoists also stated that those daring to contest the polls without intimating the outfit, would face dire consequences. In the posters written in Hindi - issued by CPI-Maoist Mainpur division and found in Dharambandha and Bharuamunda gram panchayats of Nuapada block - the Maoists have asked people to stay alert for the polls. The Maoists stated that those willing to contest ‘should be poor, committed for the cause of the poor, be truthful and honest’.

Suspected Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist) cadres abducted three labourers of a private construction company after setting ablaze five earthmoving machines at two places in Sitamarhi District on January 10, reports The Telegraph. The Police said about 25 armed cadres raided the construction site of Rajendra Singh and Brothers Construction (Private) Ltd Company at Maniari on Sitamarhi-Riga Road around 10.30pm [local time] and held the labourers captive. The Maoists also fired in the air and hurled bombs to terrorise the residents, who could not muster courage to challenge them. The Maoists later escaped from the area abducting three labourers. They also left pamphlets demanding money from the owner of the company. The abducted labourers were identified as Ram Lal Mahto, a resident of Purnahiya in Sheohar District, Harendra Singh of Musahari in Muzaffarpur District and Shishupal Yadav of Runnisaidpur in Sitamarhi District.

The Hindu reports that while the training programme for first time MLAs and MLCs in Visakha Agency was coming to an end on January 11, cadres of the Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist) pasted posters at Chowdupalli in Chintapalli mandal (administrative unit) of Visakhapatnam District in the early hours of January 11 demanding the people's representatives to pass a resolution against mining of bauxite in the Agency. The posters appeared as the officials and the Police were preparing to receive Chief Minister N. Kiran Kumar Reddy at G.K. Veedhi mandal to call on Tribal Welfare Minister P. Balaraju, whose mother passed away four days ago. The Maoists also warned the informers to mend their ways.

An alert has been sounded in Sonepur Railway Division of East Central Railway (ECR) in the wake of intelligence reports on January 13, that the Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist) might target railway stations on Republic Day, reports Hindustan Times.

The RPF had received threats from ‘sub-zonal commander’ Kamleshwari Thakur alias Ranjit, ‘area commander’ Rakesh alias Bihari and Women squad ‘commander’ Shila, the sources said.

with just a few weeks to go before panchayat (village level local self-government institution) elections, Maoists have started campaigning against the polls in Koraput District, reports The Times of India. The Maoists have put up posters and banners in various parts of the District, urging voters not to participate in the poll process. A number of such posters were spotted at Dandabadi and Ramagiri areas under Boipariguda Police limits and at several areas under Narayanpatna Police limits on January 16. Maoist fear in Narayanpatna is evident given that single candidates have filed nominations in six out of nine panchayats in the block for the post of sarpanch (head of panchayat). Similarly, seven out of nine posts of samiti (block level local self-government institution) members are uncontested in the block. Sources said people preferred not to file nominations in the Maoist-dominated panchayats in Narayanpatna. "It is quite possible that the rebels might have selected the candidates where single nominations have been filed and no other candidate dares to contest the election against the candidate chosen by the Maoists," said a block level official, engaged in the election process at Narayanpatna.

The Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist) cadres killed a civilian on charges of being a Police informer in Malkangiri District in the night of January 18, reports The Times of India. The victim was, identified as Guru Khillo (48), of Tonkoguda village under Mudulipada Police limits of the same District. According to sources, a group of armed Maoists reached Tonkoguda and forcibly took Khillo away from his house. Villagers later spotted the dead body of Khillo in Bododural village. "The deceased was shot at. Maoists had tied his hands prior to pumping bullets into him. We are trying to retrieve the body," said an unnamed senior Police officer in Malkangiri. A Maoist letter written by Malkangiri Divisional Committee of the CPI-Maoist found at the spot mentioned Khillo was ‘punished’ for passing information to the Police about them. The letter also warned of similar consequences for anyone who tries to act as a Police informer. The Police, however, denied receiving any intelligence input from the deceased. "We have never ever received any information from the deceased. He was not our informer. Investigation is on and the reason behind the murder will be found out," an unnamed Police officer said.

Maoist threat is reportedly affecting poll campaign in Bolangir District. Sources said except the poll candidates, no star campaigner of any political party is venturing into the area. In the Patnagarh subdivision, most part of which is under Maoist threat, party workers are facing a tough time with their political bosses insisting them to stay in touch with people since they are not able to visit the area themselves. Sources said parts of Baghmundi, Khaparakhol and Tureikela blocks have been completely inaccessible for politicians. Police said zone-10 area, which comes under Tureikela block, has been a shielded area, with neither big politicians and workers nor police forces venturing there. Lathore, Bagdor, Tankapani and Sanbanjipali villages in the District are being especially feared by contesting candidates as well as Police.

The Tritiya Prastuti Committee (TPC), a splinter group of the Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist), on February 20, pasted posters in Balumath area of Latehar District, warning the upcoming power plants of dire consequences if they did not stop felling trees and give adequate compensation to the displaced families, reports The Times of India. Two major power projects are coming up at Chandwa by Abhijeet Group and at Tori by Essar Group. Total generation capacity of the two plants will be more than 3,000 MW. "The rebels pasted posters at Balumath to send a message to the displaced families that if they have any grudge against the companies or they have not got adequate compensation, they should come forward for help from the organization," said a Police officer.

When contacted, Malkangiri Superintendent of Police Akhilesh Singh said on October 5 that no such letter had reached him or the Chitrakonda Police Station directly from the village guards. He, however, said that the so-called letter by the village guards raised some suspicion as it bears the signature of only one though names of 18 gram rakshis are mentioned in the letter. An investigation was launched to verify the authenticity of the joint resignation letter, he added. The resignation letter had come a few days after the murder of two village guards on September 25 in the Jodamba area by the Maoists.
