Deccan Chronicle has reported that on February 3, personnel of the Greyhounds, a special force of the Andhra Pradesh Police, cornered CPI-Maoist State secretary, Ramakrishna, and other Naxalites in the Nallamala forests in Prakasam-Kurnool district border, but withdrew from the site without causing any harm to the Naxalites following instructions from the State Government. Quoting official sources, the report said, about 2,000 commandos of the Greyhounds, cordoned off the CPI-Maoist hideout and zeroed in on Ramakrishna, but refrained from opening fire without provocation from the other side. Those trapped were reportedly given safe passage while Naxalite emissaries, Vara Vara Rao, Kalyana Rao, Gaddar and representatives Ganganna and Dappu Ramesh, put pressure on the Government to withdraw the police cordon. Home Minister Jana Reddy said he had issued clear instructions to the police to observe restraint.

The outlawed United Liberation Front of Asom (ULFA) has reportedly sought a formal reply to its ‘chairman’ Arabinda Rajkhowa's letter from the Government of India.

ULFA's first formal communication addressed to the Prime Minister, Manmohan Singh, was handed over on February 14 to the National Security Adviser (NSA), M K Narayanan, by Dr Goswami. According to Assam Tribune, Rajkhowa, in his two-page letter, talked about the outfit's long-drawn struggle calling for 'restoration of Assam's sovereignty'. He also insisted that sovereignty was its primary demand and rest of the issues were secondary. The NSA, in response, has reportedly conveyed that the Government of India was not in a position to exclusively hold dialogue on the issue of sovereignty, though it was open to discussing the grievances of the outfit, including what it termed as the core issue. Narayanan also reportedly suggested that the outfit might communicate a fresh list of demands encompassing all relevant issues.

The Naxalites, who have declared the forest area of the district as part of the ‘guerrilla zone’, want it to be free of police presence, the report added.

The Union Home Minister, Shivraj Patil, on February 20 assured the Chhattisgarh Government of all possible assistance in dealing with the left-wing extremist (also known as Naxalite) problem in the State. "The Centre is with Chhattisgarh on dealing with Naxalite problems,'' Patil told a high-level meeting on internal security at Chief Minister Raman Singh's residence in Raipur. He further said, "It has to be a multi-pronged approach. You can't try to tackle this problem just with the help of force or you can't expect that only by talking this problem can be solved… Wherever it is necessary to talk, you should talk (but) you should not treat them as enemies but as persons who are angry, misguided and not understanding the situation," he added. Underlining the need for a "national level" solution to the Naxalite problem, the Chhattisgarh Government also asked the Union Government to evolve an integrated action plan involving all States afflicted by the problem and formulate uniform guidelines for peace talks.
