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.

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.

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 Police arrested Girish Mahato alias Mangru Mahto alias Uttam alias Dhiren alias Dhirendra (45), a State organising committee member of the Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist), along with one of his close associate, identified as Shankar Munda, from Kharmunda village near canal road area under Attabira Police Station in Bargarh District in the morning of January 24, reports The Hindu. Girish, a resident of Giridih in Jharkhand, was involved in more than two dozens of cases of Maoist violence, the Bargarh Police said Girish was wanted by both Odisha and Jharkhand Police after his successful jail break attempt in 2011. The Jharkhand Police had announced a cash reward of INR 400, 000 on his head. “The District Police got a reliable input regarding movement of Girish Mahato along with his associates in Canal Road area under Attabira Police Station. A special District Police team raided the place and could be able to arrest the Maoist and his associate Shankar,” said Kabita Jalan, Superintendent of Police, addressing a press conference at Bargarh. Jalan said the Police recovered a small fire arm with 12 live cartridges, compass, maps of Odisha and Bargarh, hand sketches of the District armoury of Bargarh and Bargarh Police Station, cash worth INR 2, 290 and literature and leaflets containing anti-government writing from their possession. Girish was earlier arrested on November 14, 2007 at Bariatu under Ranchi Police Station of Jharkhand. However, he escaped from Chaibasa Divisional Jail on January 18, 2011 along with comrades Motilal Soren alias Sandeep and Raghunath Hembrom alias Nirbhay, and went underground in Saranda forest for a few months. Subsequently, he took over Maoist organisations in Sambalpur, Bargarh, Deogarh, and Sundargarh District. The Police said Girish along with Sabyasachi Panda, Brijlal Anchley alias Azad, Satrughan Biswal alias Mangu and Sekhar had strengthened the Maoist organisations in the State during the past two decades. The Maoist leader had 22 criminal cases against him alone in Sambalpur District.

SFs neutralised a Maoist training camp and four bunkers at different places in the Saniya forest in Latehar District and recovered a huge cache of explosives, Maoist literature, uniform, slings, detonators, ready-to-eat-food and food grain from the training camp and bunkers. The recoveries include 12 Chinese grenades and 36 Improvised Explosive Devices (IED), 100 kilograms of gun powder kept in two bags, a couple of country-made pistols and equal number of rifles. Around 1,400-metre wire, a detonating cord generally used in mining, electric wire and detonators were also recovered during the operation. Confirming the recovery, IG Mallik said the SFs had been combing in the area for the past few days to ensure the release of Suresh Ram, the abducted bodyguard of Garhwa District Council chairperson Sushma Mehta. The Maoists had abducted Mehta along with Ram and her two associates on January 21. Three days later Mehta and her two associates were released. "The amount of ready-to-eat-food and food grain seized from the training camp and bunkers show that at least 50 rebels used to stay there," said a source.

Inspector-General of Police (Western Range) Gangeshwar Singh told The Hindu on the phone that he was an important organiser, with his activities spreading beyond West Bengal. “His arrest is a major setback to the CPI (Maoist) as he was one of the most important leaders in charge of operations here, after Kishenji’s death. With his arrest and the surrender of 30 members of the outfit over the past one year, we have been able to put a check on the activities of the Maoists operating in the… Jungle Mahal region.” Bikram, who started the Ajodhya squad and led it since 2009, is wanted in 79 cases, including the murder of seven villagers of Baghbinda in the District and the abduction and murder of Inspector Partha Biswas and school teacher Soumyajit Basu in 2010.

Meanwhile, hitherto unknown militant outfits, Lashkar al Qaeda and al Qaeda Mujahedeen have asked women in Kashmir to observe purdah and not to use mobile phones in public, Zee News reported on August 12. "People should ensure that girls observe purdah in public places. If we spot any woman without purdah we will sprinkle acid on her face," handwritten posters of the outfits warned. The posters, appearing at many mosques in Shopian District a few days ago, threatened, "If we spot any girl using mobile phone, she will be shot dead." Warning sarpanches (head of panchayat, village level local self Government institution) and panches (members of panchayat) in South Kashmir to relinquish their posts or face dire consequences, the posters asked them to announce their resignation during Friday prayers. Official sources said many grassroot-level representatives have announced their resignation during the Friday prayers but have not put in their papers before the authorities concerned. The Times of India adds that the poster of al Qaida Mujahedeen has criticized the panchayati raj institution as "un-Islamic" and has set an ultimatum for all sarpanches and panchayat members to resign within a week. The hand written pamphlets, bearing the outfit's stamp, appeared in Shopian's villages of Tehlipora, Krenz, Turkiwangam, Mool Chitragam. The panchayat members have also been asked to issue public apology in mosques during coming Friday's prayers for associating with panchayati raj. The outfit has also directed the sarpanches to retain clippings of newspaper advertisements that make their resignations public, and these have also to be produced on demand by militants.

After the State Government agreed to fulfil our demands, the two kidnapped persons were released in the presence of the mediators," read a Maoist poster at the Malkangiri collectorate. The posters further added that "Dandapani in connivance with Panda is trying to defame the Maoist organisation and to weaken the people's movement. We warned him to abstain from all these activities or else he will face the music and will be punished at the praja court (kangaroo court of the Maoists)."
