PTI reported that the Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist)-sponsored Jharkhand bandh (general shut down) on January 2 evoked partial response with no untoward incident being reported from anywhere in the State. According to officials the bandh had affected life in some rural pockets in Palamu, Giridih, Hazaribagh, East and West Singhbhum Districts. Normal life remained unaffected in the state capital Ranchi and other District headquarters. While majority of the long-distance buses did not ply, several trains under Dhanbad Division of the East Central Railway were either cancelled or diverted. The bandh was called in Jharkhand, Orissa, Bihar, West Bengal and Chhattisgarh in protest against alleged "police atrocities and violation of human rights by government machinery".

PTI reports that cadres of the Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist) blew up a gram panchayat (village level self-Government institution) office building and a go down in Malkangiri District during a bandh (general shut down) called by the outfit on January 2 against alleged Police excesses. Around 50 armed Maoists attacked the gram panchayat office at Panasput in Chitrakonda area of Malkangiri and drove away those inside before triggering an explosion, Police said. The Maoists also stormed a go down located near the office and blasted it with explosives before disappearing into a nearby forest, they said. Nobody was harmed or injured, they added. Meanwhile, the bandh called by Maoists in Orissa and four other States against alleged Police excesses and the proposed anti-naxal operations had little impact barring stray incidents of tree felling in Malkangiri and disruption of traffic in Rayagada District. Many Government buses stopped plying in Malkangiri and Rayagada Districts, where trees were used to block roads.

Express Buzz reports that while infrastructure programme like the rural connectivity is not making headway in the hinterland due to direct opposition from the Maoists, rural electrification programme is not facing any problem from the Maoists. Three Central agencies - NTPC, NHPC and PGCIL - executing the massive infrastructure programme in the State reported that the Government works undertaken in the Maoist-stronghold areas are going very smoothly. However, the contractors and their people have been warned against associating with the local Police and bring any Police personnel to their work sites. They have been further instructed to come to the workplace with identification card which should be visible and cooperate with the Maoists. They have been asked to suspend their works during bandh (general shut down) calls or economic blockades by the extremists, a highly placed source in the Government said. Although no significant progress has been achieved in Malkangiri, the contractors and their workers have not faced any problem in the District.

Sentinel reports that another militant outfit masquerading as Hills Tiger Force (HTF) has appeared in Dima Hasao District. The report adds that floating of HTF cannot be viewed in isolation. With the naming of North Cachar Hills as Dima Hasao and as approved by the State Government, united voice of resentment and protest by various non Dimasa bodies has been raging across the District. These bodies of Zemes, Kukis, Karbis, Jaintias, Hmars, Vaipeis, Baetis and Hrangkhals have cried foul, apprehending discrimination by the Autonomous District Council and also an exercise to drive them out. They were cautioned if the earlier name of the District is not restored, it will again boil. The bandhs (general shut down) called by these organizations under the banner of Indigenous People’s Forum (IPF) over the issue of bifurcation of the District into two have already caused a sort of ethnic divide.

Indian Express adds that as per sources in the Union Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA), the 48-hour bandh called by Maoists in Bihar, Jharkhand, Chhattisgarh, West Bengal and Orissa was primarily prompted by the arrest of Maoist leaders Shambhu (Bihar) and Chandrasekhar Gorebale (Karnataka). Apart from this, say sources, the Maoists had also been rattled by other successes by Security Forces recently, including a raid by the Central reserve Police Force in Gaya (Bihar) jungles yielding a large amount of explosives and the destruction of a Maoist camp near the Jharkhand-Orissa border.

Twenty-six personnel of the 39 Battalion of the Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF) were killed in a Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist) ambush in Narayanpur District on June 29, reports The Hindu. “At present we can confirm only 26 deaths,” said CRPF Inspector-General Vijay Raman. He said, “We shall be in a position to give a final figure only once all the troops returned to the camp.” “We also lost a CRPF officer, Assistant Commandant Gulati, in the ambush,” said another source in CRPF intelligence, adding that “the toll was expected to rise.” Meanwhile, Chhattisgarh Director General of Police Viswa Ranjan said on June 30 (today) that around 15 Maoists may have been killed in the encounter that followed the ambush but the bodies of the Maoists have not been found. About 70 CRPF personnel were conducting a Road Opening Operation (ROP) on foot on the Narayanpur-Orcha road when the attack occurred. At least two critically injured Policemen were evacuated to Jagdalpur by helicopter. Sources said the attack took place near a hilly stretch known as the Jhadha Ghati, three kilometres from Dhudhai. According to a PTI report, Maoist fighters opened fire from a hilltop as the soldiers were returning from their patrol. “A large number of Maoist fighters surrounded the rear section of the CRPF party and opened fire,” said a source. The Narayanpur-Orcha road is considered the gateway to Abujhmad, a 4000-square kilometre forested area that has been declared a “liberated zone” by the Maoists. Local journalists in Narayanpur said the attack occurred in the backdrop of a two-day five-state bandh (shut down) beginning June 30 (today) called by the Maoists.
