Following the 19th meeting of the Coordination Committee on Naxalite violence on January 13 at New Delhi, Union Home Secretary V.K. Duggal said "the level of incidents have gone up by four per cent in 2005. I don’t want to go into the reasons but the challenge in 2006 will be to contain it with an integrated approach." Among the measures decided at the meeting included creation of dedicated intelligence units in seven of the worst affected states, raising 10 more police battalions, inducting an additional 45 armoured vehicles and strengthening police stations. "As a first step to strengthen our fight against the armed rebels, there will be a separate Maoist division in the home ministry that will coordinate activities," Duggal said. Emphasising on land reforms, he said, "it has to be an integrated approach and that is why officials in the ministries for rural development, tribal affairs and panchayati raj were roped in to find out if developmental programmes on the ground are up and running." In addition to the 25 battalions of the Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF) that have been specially trained for combating Maoists, another 10 battalions will be raised over the next two years at a cost of Rs 250 million. The Home Secretary added that a State like Haryana cannot be complacent from being affected by the Naxalites as, it was one of the states, including Uttaranchal, Uttar Pradesh, Tamil Nadu, Karnataka and Kerala, where Naxalites were trying to mark their presence. He further said that during the current year six States - Bihar, Jharkhand, Orissa, Chhattisgarh, Madhya Pradesh, and (eastern parts of) Maharashtra - will have dedicated intelligence wings to keep a tab on the Naxalites activities.

The Deputy Inspector General of Police (Magadh range), Arvind Pandey, has reportedly said that the accident of Howrah-New Delhi Rajdhani Express train on September 9, 2002 was the handiwork of Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist) cadres active in the Magadh region. Pandey said that two arrested Maoists, Sanjay Yadav and Bhusan Singh provided this information, during their interrogation. Yadav, a Maoist 'zone commander', who was arrested from Khwaspur village in the Gaya district on February 5, told the police that he was involved in removing the railway tracks over Dhaba bridge in Rafiganj which led the super-fast Howrah-Delhi Rajdhani Express to jump track and plunge several feet into the river, claiming lives of at least 123 passengers.

Speaking during the debate on the motion of thanks to the Governor's address in the Legislative Assembly on February 15, West Bengal Chief Minister Buddhadeb Bhattacharjee stated that his Government was bent on combating Maoist violence, and there was no question "of any dialogue with those who wield arms and believe in violence." Further, he said his Government had already planned a package of development schemes, including improving irrigation facilities, in the three districts of Bankura, Purulia and West Midnapore districts. Considering the socio-economic problems of the three backward districts, the Government had planned a package of schemes at Belpahari, Binpur, Bandwan and Ranibandh, with the public health engineering and power departments asked to execute projects. Besides, land in the arid zones in the three districts would be developed for cultivation, while the Ramakrishna Mission had been requested to introduce rainwater harvesting projects.

The Chhattisgarh Government is actively considering declaring Dantewada district a 'disturbed area' in the wake of escalating Maoist activities in that region, official sources said on February 18. After successive Maoist attacks in the Dantewada district of Bastar region recently, the district administration has made recommendation for declaring Dantewada as a "disturbed area", top officials told Press Trust of India. "Because of the violence by the left wing extremists, not only the peace of the region was disturbed but also carrying out developmental works by the government agencies are being affected", the district administration said. Normal life was also being affected because of the growing Maoist activities, the District Collector K. R. Pisda said in his report to the State Government while recommending clamping of the Disturbed Area Act in Dantewada. Home Minister Ram Vichar Netam told PTI that the Government had received such a recommendation from the district administration.

At least 25 tribals were killed and 40 others sustained injuries in a landmine blast triggered by the Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist) cadres near Eklagoda village, in the jurisdiction of Arabore police station of Dantewada district on February 28. However, there has been no official confirmation on the fatalities so far. Unofficial reports indicate that over 50 persons were killed in the attack. Telegraph reports that more than 200 tribals were returning from an anti-Maoist Salwa Judum meeting in two trucks and a bus when the Maoists detonated a landmine, blowing up one of the vehicles. Director-General of Police, O.P. Rathore, said the victims, mostly tribals, were returning home after attending a Salwa Judum meeting. As their convoy approached Eklagoda around 11.30 a.m., the Maoists exploded the landmine and subsequently opened fire on two other vehicles and reportedly abducted nearly 120 villagers. Chief minister Raman Singh said the Maoists have entered Orissa along with their hostages after crossing the Sabri river. He added that "the security personnel and villagers attending the Salwa Judum meetings had been strictly ordered to travel only by foot," he said, adding that the size of the group could have forced the villagers to opt for heavy vehicles. The anti-Maoist campaign, the Chief Minister added, would continue despite the attack. "The government will redesign the strategy and give a new direction to the campaign," he observed, describing the act as "desperate and cowardly".

Media reports said that the casualties in the attack by the Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist) on the R. Udayagiri sub-jail and other Government establishments in Gajapati district on March 24 has risen to four. In the pre-dawn strike, a group of over 200-armed Maoists, including women and few sympathizers, had attacked the sub-jail in R. Udayagiri town, freed 40 prisoners, killed three police personnel, and took a police officer and the jailor hostage. The Maoists reportedly pulled down the jail gates to help prisoners escape and also simultaneously attacked the police station, an Orissa Special Armed Police Camp, the treasury, the tehsildar’s (local administrative official) office and a telecom tower. The exchange of fire reportedly lasted around two hours. Police said the two who were taken hostage by Maoists were the officer in charge of the police station, Ranjan Kumar Mallick, and the jailor, Rabinarayan Sethi. According to the District Collector, Binod Bihari Mohanty, the Maoists also looted arms from the police station, including 25 self-loading rifles, a pistol, a light machine gun and an AK-47 rifle. The Maoists also burnt stamp papers worth nearly Rupees 40 lakh in the treasury. The Maoists had approached the town from two directions and retreated after the attack via Saralapadar into the deep jungles. Chief Minister Naveen Patnaik told the Legislative Assembly on March 24 that the Maoists were believed to have come from the Vizianagaram district of neighbouring Andhra Pradesh. They reportedly conversed in Telugu, Hindi and Soura (a tribal dialect). Media reports added that in a related incident, one civilian was killed and nine others were injured in a landmine blast at Kankadaguda, 10 kilometers from R. Udaygiri, while clearing the trees from the roads. The landmine was reportedly planted by the Maoists while retreating.

Maoists have rejected the observation of Chief Minister Y.S. Rajasekhara Reddy that talks could be held with them only after they laid down their weapons. In a statement released on March 28, Maoist spokesman Janardhan said that it would be equivalent of supporting the `fascist' rule of Reddy if any intellectual broached the subject of holding talks. Indicating that attacks against ruling party members and Government properties could be in the offing, he appealed to civil rights organisations and democrats not to criticise their `counter-violence,' but to understand why the revolutionary party was being forced to resort to violence.

The Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist) has called for a complete shutdown (bandh) in Chhattisgarh on March 29, today, in protest against the proposed enactment of Special Public Security Act by the State Government. "To suppress our party and the people's movement, the state government is implementing the Chhattisgarh Vishesh Jansurakshya Abhiniyam-2005 and to protest against that the Dandakaranya Special Zonal Committee (DKSZC) and the Chhattisgarh state committee jointly call for a bandh on March 29," a joint statement of both the committees of the CPI-Maoist said on March 28. "However, in people's and student's interest, hospitals and schools have been put out of the ambit of the bandh," DKSZC spokesman Gudsa Usendi and Secretary of the 'North Bastar Divisional Committee (Kanker)' Sujata Nareti said in the joint statement. They also "begged apology" from the villagers for "wrongly" targeting them with a landmine blast near Pakhanjur in the Kanker district on March 25 in which 13 civilians died and four sustained injuries.

Following the Co-ordination Centre meeting attended by the police chiefs and Chief Secretaries of 13 Maoist-affected States and a number of Central Ministries in New Delhi on March 31, the Union Home Secretary V. K. Duggal admitted that Maoist violence was on the rise this year in Chhattisgarh but claimed that the situation in 12 other affected States was by and large under control. Compared to 475 violent incidents in the first quarter of 2005, there were only 391 in year 2006, though the number of casualties went up from 114 to 157. The number of security force (SF) personnel killed till March 30, 2006 is 47 as against 45 during the same period during year 2005. "There have been more civilian casualties, the intensity was also higher," Duggal said. In Chhattisgarh, which bore the brunt of Maoist attacks in the first quarter of this year, 162 incidents were reported compared to 97 in the same period during 2005. "In this year's incidents, there were 105 casualties, including 27 of security personnel”, he disclosed. During the same period in 2005, three civilians and six SF personnel were killed. The Home Secretary also informed that local resistance groups would be trained in self-defence and given police protection. He added that there was a consensus at the meeting that such groups were useful although, it should be ensured that local resistance was encouraged in areas effectively dominated by SFs so that the people there did not become vulnerable to attacks. A four-pronged strategy was also discussed to strengthen the Railway Protection Force, the Government Railway Police, the State police and intelligence agencies. Further, all States were asked to fill up vacancies in their police force. The Home Secretary informed that Bihar was making efforts to fill 17,000 vacancies, while Jharkhand recently recruited 11,000 constables and still 1,000 vacancies remained. The number of vacancies in Andhra Pradesh was about 6,000. Further, the meeting also decided to extend the scheme of Security Related Expenditure for Maoist areas by another five years, for which Rupees 250 crore has been earmarked.

Police action should be backed by liberal surrender and rehabilitation policies, which could be modified by the Chief Ministers to make them more attractive. He called for improved use of intelligence on the strength, weapons, membership, locations and links of naxal groups.

On April 20, the Jharkhand Home Minister, Sudesh Mahto, announced a surrender policy claiming that Jharkhand is the first State in the country to formulate such an attractive scheme. Every Naxalite who surrenders is allowed to hire a lawyer of his choice at Government expense and also be extended a life-insurance cover of Rupees One million. Every Naxalite who surrenders will receive cash "compensation" of Rs 25,000, to be paid in two instalments, but will also be paid a stipend of Rs 2,000 per month for the next two years. If the Naxalite surrenders with a firearm, the minister added, valuation will be done and the cost of the firearm, too, will be reimbursed. As a further incentive, all surrendered extremists will be kept together in the State capital and cases pending against them will be consolidated and transferred to Ranchi. Special fast-track courts will be constituted to expedite trials and a review committee will monitor their conduct and recommend reduction or remission of sentences. The policy also promises to allot an acre of land to the family of every surrendered extremist. The family, in addition, will be entitled to free housing, free education for children and free healthcare facilities. The Government, the policy declares, will evolve a special mechanism to solve land disputes involving the families. Finally, if any member of the family is killed in retaliatory attacks, the State will offer a "government job" to one of the surviving members. The policy, however, is yet to be approved by the Cabinet, he indicated at a news briefing but announced that it would be implemented "within a week".

They also help the extremists secure “legal aid and support” from Mumbai’s lawyers, police said. Intelligence sources said the organisations are “sympathetic” to the Maoists and that most of them are small groups managed by people of alleged dubious credentials. Police chief P. S. Pasricha said, “We are keeping close tabs on the activities of functionaries belonging to a section of the NGOs.

On August 6, the Jharkhand Government banned the Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist) and all its frontal organisations in the State. A notification was issued last week in this regard, Jharkhand Home Secretary, J. B. Tubid, said in Ranchi.

This was learnt from most of the recently arrested extremists, he added.

Union Home Secretary Vinod K. Duggal, who presided over the 21st coordination meeting of Chief Secretaries and Director Generals of Police of 13 Naxalite-affected States said, “Barring Chhattisgarh and Jharkhand, violence has come down in rest of the Naxal-affected states.” He informed that the rise in Naxalite-related violence in the past six months in Chhattisgarh is due to the intensification of the Salwa Judum movement and increase in encounters resulting in more casualties. “This year, till July, 84 anti-Naxal counter operations took place in Chhattisgarh and 35 Naxal cadres have been neutralized. Last year, the number of counter operations was 64,’’ said Duggal, adding that 13 battalions have been deployed in the State. In the rest of the Naxalite-affected States like Andhra Pradesh, Maharashtra and Madhya Pradesh, the incidents of the Naxalite attacks have come down, stated Duggal.

Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister Y. S. Rajasekhara Reddy said on September 5 that the two-pronged strategy of development and vigilance pursued by his Government had resulted in containing threat to internal security both from Maoists and terrorist groups like the Lashkar-e-Toiba (LeT). Participating in the Chief Ministers' Conference on Internal Security, Reddy said the law and order situation in the State was under control. He said Maoists posed the biggest challenge to law and order with the group's activities affecting 500 police station areas spread over 19 districts. The Chief Minister said the Maoists had no public support and were engaging in hit-and-run tactics. He said that the Government had set up a Department for Remote and Interior Area development to speed up developmental activities in the areas that were usual recruitment grounds for extremists. During the last two years, he said, 2.5 lakh acres of land had been distributed to the poor and the Government had undertaken an ambitious programme to bring additional land under irrigation. In order to promote employment opportunities for tribal youth, the State Government trained over 7,000 youths in various trades and of them, some 2,200 were employed. In addition, 3000 home guards were recruited from extremist- affected areas. The Government also strengthened intelligence network and raised two India Reserve battalions. The Chief Minister sought deployment of two battalions of Central paramilitary forces in the State to neutralise the Maoists. Claiming that the State's policy to rehabilitate surrendered extremists was successful, Reddy said during the last three years, over 8,000 Maoist cadres had surrendered and Maoist violence was under control with security forces gaining the upper hand. Referring to Islamist extremism, the Chief Minister informed that security agencies unearthed eight modules of militant outfits and 87 persons had been arrested in the last three years.

Speaking at the Chief Ministers’ Conference on Internal Security in New Delhi on September 5, the Chhattisgarh Chief Minister Raman Singh said that the Centre should play a more “proactive role” and that the Maoist problem could be effectively tackled with the constitution of a dedicated force on the lines of the Rapid Action Force that was formed to deal with riots. He made a plea that at least hundred battalions should be earmarked for the purpose of combating left-wing extremism. Criticising the Centre’s “battalion approach”, he said only sending paramilitary forces would not help put an end to the problem. “The first condition that needs to be fulfilled is a national policy on Naxalism on the lines of Jammu and Kashmir and the Northeast. It should be kept in mind that it is an inter-state movement and different states following different policies could only prove counter-productive,” he said, after the meeting, citing the example of a ban on the movement in one state when efforts were being made to initiate talks simultaneously in another state.

Speaking at the Chief Ministers’ Conference on Internal Security in New Delhi on September 5, the Karnataka Chief Minister, H.D. Kumaraswamy, disclosed that 13 districts had been affected by left-wing extremism and there were about 200 Maoist cadres with 60 operating in two or three armed groups in the Malnad region. He further said, "They have automatic weapons, 8 mm rifles, IED (improvised explosive device) and hand grenades, and have also two-way VHF communication equipment,'' adding, several initiatives had been taken by the Government to tackle the danger posed by the Maoists and an anti-Maoist force had been set up with 543 personnel and located at Udupi in the Malnad area. He said a proposal to raise a commando force on the lines of the Greyhounds/National Security Guard was being finalised. On terrorism, he said Lashkar-e-Toiba (LeT) terrorists with links to their counterparts in Andhra Pradesh and other parts of the country had infiltrated Karnataka, especially to Chintamani and Mulbagal in the Kolar district. "These terrorists try to operate through madrassas and other organisations in the State,” he said and added that their objective was to destabilise the economy by attacking vital installations. Kumaraswamy also urged the Union Government to establish two Rapid Action Force battalions in the State, which could be used to tackle terrorism, Naxalism and communal disturbances.

He gave the names of the arrested as Sivaji, Kumar, Ramesh, Arunachalam, Muthusamy, and Annamalai, all owners of the companies and Veerabadra Rao, agent of Kranti Transport, Mannurpet, which transported the consignments.

The Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF) has launched a crackdown against Maoists in the insurgency-affected Bastar region of Chhattisgarh to recapture areas "liberated" by the Maoists, according to NDTV. The monsoon thrust, planned to surprise Maoists who usually lie low during the rainy season, reportedly commenced towards the end of August 2006 and is progressing without much bloodshed, top CRPF officials said. The strategy is to conduct surprise raids on the basis of intelligence reports and the CRPF has so far arrested over 100 Maoists and killed two, besides seizing huge quantities of arms and ammunition. Official figures show that there were 24 shootouts between CRPF personnel and the Maoists in August and September, with the para-military force losing only one soldier. Nine persons were injured during the operations. However, the "deep penetration operation" has slowed down at several places after Maoists destroyed Government primary health centres and schools -- potential shelters for the CRPF personnel. "They destroyed over 30 such structures this month alone and are distributing leaflets warning villagers against extending help to the security forces," a senior CRPF officer said.

On December 4, Jharkhand sought an additional 50 companies of paramilitary forces to combat Maoist insurgents in the State, reports IANS.

Mahapatra, said, “We have sought 50 companies of paramilitary forces, including 10 companies of Central Reserve Police Force, which were earlier posted in Jharkhand. We also sought metal detectors to unearth landmines.” Another unidentified police official said, “The Maoist rebels are going hi tech by the day and we have to still fight them with traditional weapons and tools. We have been demanding advanced mental detectors for a long time. Many security personnel have been killed in landmine blasts.”

Union Home Minister Shivraj Patil told Lok Sabha (Lower House of Parliament) on December 5 that Naxalites were now planning to target important installations in major cities of India. Speaking during the Question Hour, Patil said the intelligence information has been shared with the States. "Like forests provide safe hideouts to Naxalites in tribal areas, the cities also provide them cover. Taking advantage of this, they plan to target major installations in cities," he informed. The Centre has asked State governments to collect actionable information on the Naxalite movement and work in a coordinated manner with neighbouring States, he said, while assuring all possible help to combat the problem. Patil also said "We have to deal with the situation in a humane manner but should not be 'timid' towards Naxalites. We have to earn people's confidence through social sector schemes." Patil added that the Centre was in constant touch with States affected by Naxalite violence and 37 battalions have been deployed there. The Home Minister said special security and intelligence structures were being streamlined to effectively deal with the Naxalite problem. He, however, rejected a suggestion that the Government should talk to ultras as the Nepal government had done in that country. He said one kind of strategy would not necessarily work for another country.

On December 16, the Chhattisgarh Chief Minister Raman Singh, in an interview with the IANS, said that he is open to peace talks with Maoists if they shun violence. Singh said, "Leftist insurgency is an inter-state problem as the militants have terror network in 13 states and peace talks by any single state will not solve the problem. But Chhattisgarh will not mind holding discussion with the rebels if they express keen interest to bring peace and return to democracy." The Chief Minister, however, added, "It's solely the responsibility of the Indian government to engage in peace dialogue with the Maoists rather than individual states getting involved." He further said, "I always prefer dialogue but it is necessary that rebels too should come to the discussion table with a lust for peace." Speaking on the vigilante programme Salwa Judum, he noted, "Salwa Judum is on the right track and the movement has cornered the Maoists in some 40,000 sq km of hilly terrain of Bastar region. Salwa Judum is a spontaneous outburst of tribals who have suffered Maoist atrocities for three decades. It will finish them off."

Union home secretary V.K. Duggal stated on December 26 that the Union Government would launch a two-pronged fight jointly with Bengal to tackle Maoist activities in Purulia, Bankura and West Midnapore. The strategy involves heightened Police operations and a flood of development activities in the Naxalite-hit areas, some of the most impoverished in Bengal. “While there would be a surge of development initiatives, a series of counter operations would also be undertaken. You will surely witness more combat operations but that would be just a part of the strategy.” He added, “We hope that a large number of women cadre would give up arms and that should have a positive impact all over, including Bengal. By 2007, Maoist activities should be on the wane.” It has also been decided that six Police stations in coastal Bengal would be strengthened to counter subversive activities using the sea route, he said.

State Home Secretary T.K. Mishra while addressing the quarterly meeting of Naxalite-affected States in Bhubaneswar on December 27 stated that the Orissa Government had requested the Centre to provide assistance to set up a sophisticated anti-Naxalite training centre on the lines of the Greyhound training institute in neighbouring Andhra Pradesh, according to Telegraph. The State Government also reiterated its demand for inclusion of three more districts - Deogarh, Sambalpur and Jajpur - to the list of Maoist-affected places under the security-related expenditure reimbursement scheme. Nine Naxalite-affected districts -Malkangiri, Koraput, Rayagada, Nowrangpur, Gajapati, Ganjam, Mayurbhanj, Sundargarh and Keonjhar - are covered under the scheme at present. As many as 14 of the State's 30 districts are affected by Left-wing extremism, official estimates claim.

Union Home Secretary V.K. Duggal while presiding over the quarterly meeting of Naxalite-affected states in Bhubaneswar on December 27 stated that there is no question of holding talks with the Maoists unless they lay down arms, reports Telegraph. He told reporters that the Union Government had set a precondition for talks with the Maoists and that it had become clear from the Andhra Pradesh experience that a dialogue with Maoists would yield no result if they continued with their violent ways. "Initiating dialogue with the Maoists has no meaning as long as they carry guns in their hands," he emphasized.

Union Home Secretary V.K. Duggal stated on December 28 that the Maoist-affected States should make the optimum utilisation of funds under various Central schemes for development and improvement of connectivity in rural areas. Expressing satisfaction over the decline in Maoist activity, Duggal said focus on development would go a long way in containing the problem. Addressing the media at the end of a two-day coordination meeting of the 13 Maoist-affected States in Orissa, he said the Government's approach was to bring the Left wing extremists back into the social mainstream. However, firm action would be taken if they attacked Police personnel or innocent people. Duggal said the menace was now limited to Bihar, Jharkhand, Orissa, Chhattisgarh, Andhra Pradesh, eastern Maharashtra and West Bengal. While a total of 510 police stations faced naxal problems in 2005, the number had decreased to 372 this year. He urged the affected States to adopt a surrender policy for Maoists on the lines of the one in Andhra Pradesh.
