According to Home Ministry officials, property worth Rs.116.7 million was damaged by Maoists in the first six months of 2006, almost double the figure for the whole of 2005. A detailed break-up of the list of Maoist-related incidents, compiled by the ministry, reveals that Chhattisgarh was the worst affected among the 10 States with property alone worth Rs.92.3 million destroyed. "Of the 806 Maoist-related incidents till June this year, Chhattisgarh witnessed 360 incidents, in which 190 civilians and 54 security personnel were killed. The unfortunate part is that violence is steadily increasing," said a senior ministry official. Jharkhand witnessed 169 incidents, Andhra Pradesh, 104, and Bihar, 63. In all these states, property worth Rs.15 million was destroyed till June in 2006. In 2004, property worth Rs.64.7 million was destroyed due to Maoist violence across the country and in 2005, the figure was Rs.57.1 million. "Usually, the damage inflicted on security personnel camps, police stations, jeeps and government buildings are factored in while totalling up the sum," said ministry sources. The ministry maintained that while Maoist violence had gone down by 12 percent in the first six months of 2006, the number of deaths had increased by 16 percent during the period under review.

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. The ban on the Maoist outfit became necessary as most of the cadres were either with the erstwhile Maoist Communist Centre (MCC) or People’s War Group (PWG) before their merger with the CPI-Maoist. This was learnt from most of the recently arrested extremists, he added.

Urging Pakistan to intervene militarily to resolve the Kashmir issue, Hizb-ul-Mujahideen (HM) chief Syed Salahuddin asserted that no political solution was possible since India and the international community had "wasted the opportunity by not responding to Pakistan President Pervez Musharraf's CBMs," reported UNI. "On the Kashmir issue, Islamabad cannot take a u-turn. Kashmir is an indigenous movement. Pakistan is a party to it. It is Pakistan's responsibility to provide every kind of support to the movement-although until now it has been giving it diplomatic, moral and political support. We want Pakistan to initiate a military intervention in Kashmir," he said, in an interview to The Friday Times from Pakistan occupied Kashmir. He claimed India has realised that militancy could spread to other parts of the country if the Kashmir issue is not resolved soon. "One year, five years, ten years or hundred years... Time doesn't matter in freedom movements. India has realised that if Kashmir is not resolved soon, militancy will spiral out of Kashmir and spread to other parts of the country," he said. However, Salahuddin denied the group's involvement in the Mumbai serial blasts of July 11, 2006. Terming India's demand to Pakistan to hand him over as "absurd," he said that "no law in the world can make anyone extradite me" and it was impossible for the Musharraf Government to take a "u-turn" on him.

Endorsing India’s contention that cross-border terrorism continues, the US said on August 7 that terrorist groups having "designs" against India still have a presence in Pakistan, according to Press Trust of India.

Boucher, who met Foreign Secretary Shyam Saran and held extensive discussions on terrorism and civil nuclear deal with External Affairs Ministry Joint Secretary (Americas) S Jai Shanker, also sought to allay concerns in India with regard to certain aspects of the civil nuclear deal. Boucher is reported to have said "we all know there is terrorism in the (South Asian) region. Some of terrorism is in Pakistan. Some of the (terror) groups that have designs against India still have pieces in Pakistan."

Delivering his Independence Day speech from the Red Fort in New Delhi on August 15, Prime Minister Dr. Manmohan Singh asked Pakistan to take concrete steps to end cross-border terrorism directed against India, warning that the peace process would be affected if this was not done. Addressing the nation on India’s 59th independence anniversary, Dr. Singh pointed out that New Delhi had unveiled several initiatives to usher in peace with Pakistan. “To be successful, these initiatives need an atmosphere of peace,” he said, adding “It is obvious that unless Pakistan takes concrete steps to implement the solemn assurances it has given to prevent cross-border terrorism against India from any territory within its control, public opinion in India, which has supported the peace process, will be undermined.”

Maintaining that Pakistan has not dismantled the terrorist infrastructure existing on its soil, the Government said on August 23 that the neighbouring country’s external intelligence agency Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI) continues to provide "directions" and "logistics" support to terrorist groups like the Lashkar-e-Toiba (LeT) active in India, according to Press Trust of India. "We have not received any information on dismantling of terrorist training camps," Union Home Minister Shivraj Patil said in the Upper House of the Parliament (Rajya Sabha). He said information about existence of terrorist training camps was passed on to Pakistan during the Home Secretary-level talks between the two countries. According to available inputs, the ISI continues to provide directions and logistics support, including recruitment, arms training and funds, to groups like the LeT, Jaish-e-Mohammed (JeM), Hizb-ul-Mujahideen (HM) and Al-Badr for terrorist related activities in Jammu and Kashmir despite Government’s peace initiatives and Prime Minister’s invitation to separatist leaders for two Round Table conferences. "Available inputs indicate Pakistan’s ISI continues to remunerate terrorists for attacks on security forces and political leaders… The serial grenade attacks on April 14 and July 11, 2006 in Srinagar city and killing of tourists are reportedly the result of directives received by the terrorist outfits from across the border," said Patil. "We have given documents pointing out to places where training is imparted to terrorists," he said adding Pakistan was in a denial mode.

Pakistan replied to India's statement on the killing of Bugti by listing several insurgencies within India and urged New Delhi to "focus on putting its own house in order" instead of interfering in the internal affairs of other countries. A spokesperson said the statement "is not only against the well-established norms of inter-state relations but also a blatant interference in the internal affairs of a neighbouring country." It said India's "purported" concern for the people of other countries was "ill-advised" considering it had so many of insurgencies of its own — the statement contained a long list of insurgencies in the North-East — that were being "suppressed by force."

Police are reported to have unearthed terrorists’ plans to use mobile phone for detonating Improvised Explosive Devices (IED) to target security forces. Director General of Police Gopal Sharma said two such devices, which can trigger IED explosions using mobile phones, were recovered by police while investigating the recent upsurge in terrorist-related violence in the Kashmir Valley. On August 8, a car-bomb was detected on airport road. The car was fitted with an IED having a circuit that would have been triggered by a mobile phone call, he said. Sharma said it was for the first time that explosives, which can be detonated by use of mobile phones, have been recovered from anywhere in the country. Explaining the functioning of the IED, he said a call is made from anywhere on the mobile phone attached with the IED circuit and after the call is through, a specific code number assigned to each circuit is dialed by the caller to trigger the explosion.

Last year, the number of counter operations was 64,’’ said Duggal, adding that 13 battalions have been deployed in the State.
