Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist) cadres on July 3 damaged the entire 23-kilometres stretch of landmine resistant road from Bijapur to Gangalur in south Bastar, nearly a year-and-half after it was opened to public, reports Asian Age. The road, considered a vital link in the proposed Maoist corridor between Andhra Pradesh to south Bastar through Bijapur District, has been re-laid by making it landmine blast resistant after security personnel secured the route from the Maoists nearly three-years-ago. The newly-built road was opened to public in January 2010. “The entire stretch of road was damaged by the rebels, who dug out the road at every 100 metre. As result of this, the movement of security forces in the area would severely be hit,” Bijapur District Superintendent of Police (SP), R.N. Das, said.

Centre will shortly deploy unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) in select Naxal strongholds to track Maoist movements and camps. The intelligence to be generated by UAVs will be interpreted by NTRO for suitable action. At the meeting, nearly all Naxal-hit States sought the addition of more Naxal-hit Districts under the Centre's Security Related Expenditure (SRE) scheme as well as the Integrated Action Plan (IAP) scheme. The Union Home Ministry said it would look into the matter. Deccan Chronicle reports that the MHA informed the DGPs that it has reworked its parameters for including Districts under its SRE scheme, currently covering 83 Districts, to help them avail the benefits of Central funds better. The criteria include Naxal-violence profile, at least 30 per cent tribal population and nearly 50 per cent people living below poverty line. Similarly, the MHA has proposed to add an additional 20 Districts to the ambitious IAP scheme. Promising states all possible help in terms of providing central forces and funds for Police modernisation, the MHA asked them to lay emphasis on using more local Police personnel in the fight against Naxals and focus on constructing 400 fortified Police stations in the LWE-hit areas to deal with Maoists more effectively, adds Times of India.

The Supreme Court on July 4 referred to a Constitution bench the plea of Jammu and Kashmir (J&K) National Panthers Party challenging the legality of the return and rehabilitation policy of J&K Government allowing the return of youth, who had crossed over to Pakistan in 1990s, to the Valley, reports Daily Excelsior. The court referred the matter to the constitution bench which is seized of another issue relating to the validity of the Resettlement Act, 1982. National Panthers Party, through its president Professor Bhim Singh, had moved against the ‘return and rehabilitation policy’, terming it as "highly dangerous" for the security of the State and submitted it may create a serious conflict. In his application, Bhim Singh alleged the Union Ministry of Home Affairs has already approved the return of 1300 Kashmiri youth on the recommendation of the State Government headed by Chief Minister Omar Abdullah. The party requested the Court to "issue an order restraining the Centre and the Government of J&K and its officials not to allow any militant or ex-militant from Pakistan occupied Kashmir (PoK) or Pakistan to enter J&K who had voluntarily migrated illegally from J&K and defected to PoK or Pakistan in the past".

Union Home Minister P Chidambaram on July 4 asked Left-Wing Extremism (LWE)-hit States to adopt a unified approach to deal with the Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist), underlining that while some states had performed well, there were some who had fared poorly in anti-Naxal (LWE) operations, reports Economic Times. Though Chidambaram did not specifically name under-performing States, his appeal at a review meeting with Police chiefs of nine LWE-hit States, is seen as directed against West Bengal and Bihar, where evolving political ideologies have apparently forced a go-slow in pro-active operations against Maoists. At the meeting with the nine Director Generals of Police (DGPs) on, the Centre reviewed the vacancy positions in the State Police and sought creation of a dedicated anti-Naxal force in all the affected States, on the pattern of Andhra Pradesh Greyhounds. Heeding the States' requests for air support in operations against Maoists, the Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA) has allowed States to hire choppers and agreed to bear the expenses incurred by states.

On July 5, the Supreme Court declared illegal and unconstitutional the deployment of tribal youth as Special Police Officers (SPOs)— either as ‘Koya Commandos', Salwa Judum (anti-Maoist vigilante group) or any other force — in the fight against the Maoist insurgency, and ordered their immediate disarming, reports The Hindu. The ruling - issued by Justices B. Sudershan Reddy and S.S. Nijjar on the writ petition filed by social anthropologist Professor Nandini Sundar and others - strongly indicted Chhattisgarh for violating constitutional principles in arming youth who had passed only the fifth standard and conferring on them the powers of police. The Bench said: “The State of Chhattisgarh shall forthwith make every effort to recall all firearms issued to any of the SPOs, whether current or former, along with any and all accoutrements and accessories issued to use such firearms. The word firearm as used shall include any and all forms of guns, rifles, launchers, etc, of whatever calibre.” The court also directed the Centre and the State to provide appropriate security forthwith, and undertake such measures “as are necessary and within bounds of constitutional permissibility, to protect the lives of those who had been employed as SPOs previously, or who had been given any initial orders of selection or appointment, from any and all forces, including but not limited to Maoists/Naxalites.”

A 52-Year old person was arrested along with Fake Indian Currency Note (FICN) worth INR .575 million in Delhi on July 7, Indian Express reported. The arrestee, identified as Ishhaq Ansari of Khargona village in Murshidabad District of West Bengal, during interrogation, said that he procured the fake notes from Murshidabad which were being smuggled into India from Bangladesh. According to Ashok Chand, Deputy Commissioner of Police (Crime and Railways), Ansari had paid 40 per cent of the face value of the fake notes while procuring them and sold them for 60 per cent of the face value in Delhi. The person to whom he sold the fake notes was presently absconding. According to the Police, the FICN of INR 500 denomination, have most of the security features like Water Mark, Intaglio printing, identification mark, micro-lettering and security thread were present like those in an original currency note, making it extremely difficult to identify them. The only way to differentiate between the original and fake notes was that when the fake one was tilted, the colour of the security thread did not change and remained green whereas the colour of thread in the original changed from green to dark.

Assam Tribune reports on July 7 that though Union Home Minister P. Chidambaram announced in 2010 that full scale operations against militants would be launched in Tirap and Changlang Districts of Arunachal Pradesh, that has not yet been done as yet and the militants are still using the area to visit their camps in Myanmar. Significantly, the security agencies recently came across information that the militant groups, having bases in Myanmar, are toying with the idea of coming under one umbrella at least for launching operations. Official sources said that militant groups, including National Socialist Council of Nagaland-Khaplang (NSCN-K), United Liberation Front of Asom (ULFA), Anti-Talk Faction of the National Democratic Front of Bodoland (NDFB-ATF) and some outfits of Manipur, have their strong bases in Myanmar and the possibility of them joining hands, at least to help each other in launching offensives in India, cannot be ruled out.

IBN Live reports that the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) said its ‘self-rule doctrine’ will mitigate the negative effects of Partition. PDP patron and former State Chief Minister Mufti Mohammad Sayeed said, "The self-rule document of my party is aimed at negating the negative effects of Partition. Partition has plugged all traditional routes which were earlier connecting Jammu and Kashmir with the rest of the world." The self rule is aimed at creating JK as a bridge between India and Pakistan and both the countries would offer tariff reductions and develop this belt as a Free Trade Zone, he said. While pointing toward the recently held panchayat elections, the PDP patron claimed that 70 per cent of panchayat members belong to the PDP.

Outlook India reports on July 7 that trade union leader and alleged Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist) leader Gopal Mishra (43) and his wife Anu have been ordered to be put on trial by a Delhi court under the country's anti-terror law. Additional Sessions Judge Santosh Snehi Mann ordered framing of charges against Mishra and his wife Anu for allegedly having links with the Maoists and committing various offences under the Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act, saying the documents recovered from them "lay emphasis" on capturing political power through armed rebellion. "The magazines, books and booklets recovered from the residential premises of the accused persons in bulk, besides promoting ideology of (CPI-Maoist), lay emphasis on capture of political power in the country by armed rebellion.... Text of the books speaks in strong words about bringing political and social change in the country through violence and by spreading hatred against the democratically elected government," the court said. Mishra was arrested by Special Cell of the City Police on April 26, 2010 from Shahdara in East Delhi and was found carrying various documents and a CD containing material related to CPI-Maoist. Anu was arrested a day later. The prosecution claimed that during interrogation, Gopal revealed that he is an active member and city organiser for Delhi region of the Maoists and his task is to motivate people to join the outfit.

The Hindu reports that the Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist) promised to ‘rehabilitate’ and resettle all Special Police Officers (SPOs) in Chhattisgarh who sever all connections with the State machinery and return to their villages, according to a signed press release dated July 7. The press release was issued in the backdrop of Supreme Court’s judgement on July 5 in which Justices B. Sudershan Reddy and Surinder Singh Nijjar ruled that the use of armed SPOs in anti-Maoist operations was unconstitutional and must cease immediately. In the press release, signed by Maoist spokesperson Gudsa Usendi, the rebels sought “to make it clear to all the SPOs that this war is not between them and us. This war is being fought between a small minority of exploiters and the entire toiling masses of this country.” The Maoists also stated that many SPOs were coerced into joining the Salwa Judum (an anti-Maoist vigilante group) and assisting the police, and offered “to rehabilitate all those SPOs who come back to their villages, accept all the crimes they have committed and seek the mercy of the people while severing all kinds of connections with the government machinery.” The party says it is ready to provide SPOs with lands, instruments of and guaranteed livelihoods.

West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee gave a call to the Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist) to lay down arms, saying her Government was 'always ready' for talks, according to Times of India. "The Government will not act in a revengeful manner and is always ready for talks. Those willing to surrender will be offered rehabilitation and a special package," the chief minister told reporters. Announcing a seven-point joint declaration with the Citizen's Forum, a conglomerate of social and human rights organisations, she said "arms have to be surrendered by all in West Bengal, including Junglemahal, and the State Government will take steps to recover arms.” "The joint forces will be withdrawn from Junglemahal once it is free from arms and peace is restored," Banerjee said. She said the allegations of atrocities by the people living in Junglemahal against the erstwhile Left Front government would be investigated. Calling for democracy to prevail in Junglemahal, she said: "The Government will take steps to ensure safety and security of life. The right of the jungle should remain with the people living there." Indian Express adds that five companies of central forces have been withdrawn from Junglemahal and sent to Andhra Pradesh to control the Telangana agitation. At present, there are 35 companies of central forces in Junglemahal. Economic Times adds Mamata Banerjee said that her Government will release 46 prisoners who were arrested in connection with different cases of political violence in the state during the past few years. She also said that all these prisoners will be released within a day or two. These 46 people are out of a total of 83 who are in judicial custody and who had appealed to the court for recognition as “political prisoners”. The court had granted the status to these prisoners well before the current Government came to power, adds Indian Express. Hindustan Times further added that Banerjee named six members of the civil society who would spearhead the Government’s initiative.

A day after West Bengal Chief Minister (CM) Mamata Banerjee invited Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist) to talk, Maoists said that CM Banerjee would first have to create a congenial atmosphere for dialogue, reports Times of India. "If Mamata is serious about talks, she will have to create a congenial atmosphere and instil confidence among Maoists so that they can come forward to talk," Maoist sympathiser and poet Varavara Rao told PTI. He said that to create confidence among Maoists, the State Government would first have to withdraw the joint forces engaged in anti-Maoist operations in Junglemahal, lift the Unlawful Activities (Prevent) Act, and release all political prisoners from jail. "The Government should release Maoist Central Committee members like Sushil Roy and Pati Paban Halder -- a demand which has repeatedly been made by Kishenji (Mallojula Koteswar Rao) and Azad [Cherukuri Rajkumar], who was treacherously killed," Rao said. Citing the example of Andhra Pradesh which in 2004 withdrew the elite Grey Hound Forces before inviting Maoists for talks, Rao said, "If the West Bengal Government is keen to solve the Maoist problem, it will have to take some positive steps."

Sentinel reports that documents and explosive material recovered by the Police from the Garo National Liberation Army (GNLA) transit camp in Nengmalgre forest, East Garo Hills District have revealed links between the GNLA and United Liberation Front of Asom (ULFA). GNLA ‘military chief’ Sohan D Shira, along with 12 armed cadres of his outfit and three ULFA militants, left behind 2 kg of explosive material and a number of incriminating documents while fleeing from the transit camp during an encounter with the police on July 8. Apart from Shira, GNLA ‘area commander’s Savio Marak and Rakstar Sangma and other militants were taking shelter in the camp. The police overran the transit camp after over half-an-hour gun battle. Though the militants managed to escape, the recovery of explosives and incriminating documents unveiled GNLA-ULFA links. The three ULFA men in question are said to be associates of Anti-Talks Faction (ATF) ULFA leader Dristi Rajkhowa. Dristi Rajkhowa is functioning from the Resubelpara, Goalpara and Kamrup areas of Assam in order to maintain the outfit’s links with the GNLA and to use the Garo Hills belt as a transit route to Bangladesh.

Telegraph reports that the Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist) on July 8 dubbed the State Government’s move of amending the Chhotanagpur Tenancy Act (CNT) and the Santhal Pargana Tenancy Act (SPT) as a “conspiracy against the poor” and appealed to all the tribals to oppose the move. The Maoists, in a release issued to the media in Dumka District, stated that the proposed amendment by the Government was part of a greater conspiracy planned by the State to help facilitate bureaucrats, industrialists and other outsiders to usurp tribal lands. “There has been a rampant violation of the CNT and the SPT acts and a large portion of tribal lands have already been grabbed. Now, by bringing in the amendments, the State wants to legalise the purchase and sale of ancestral lands that had been brought into effect by the British government to safeguard the rights of the tribals,” Maoist spokesperson Sonotji was quoted as saying in the release. “The tribals should hold rallies, seminars and public meetings to oppose the state’s move. The newly elected panchayat (village level local self-Government institution) representatives will have a vital role to play in opposing the proposed amendment,” the release said.

The Army is firming up plans for anti-naxal [Left Wing Extremism] operations and has sounded out the Government to define Rules of Engagement (RoE) and guidelines for combat role, reports Daily Pioneer. The Lucknow based Central Command will play the pivotal role in case the army is deployed in Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist) infested States. The army has given detailed presentations to the Defence and Home Ministries in this regard. Army chief General VK Singh met Home Minister P Chidambaram last month [June] to brief him about the army’s assessment of the internal security situation including Naxal violence and the army’s plan to meet the challenge if asked to take on the responsibility. Disclosing the readiness of the Army in New Delhi on July 8, sources said though the army had said firm “no” in the past on a combat role against the Maoists, it has reassessed the growing threat the red ultras pose to national security and is ready to take up a combat role now, provided the Government has to define RoE and guidelines in the likelihood of its deployment in Maoist-violence affected States. Elaborating upon the aspect of RoE, sources said the army wants to operate in a combat role with sufficient legal and constitutional cover like promulgation of Armed Forces Special Powers Act (AFSPA).

The Daily Pioneer reports that in the wake of growing fatalities of Central Reserve Police Force Security (CRPF) Personnel due to Improvised Explosive Devices (IED) blasts by the Left Wing Extremists (LWE), the Security Forces (SFs) formulated a new policy to counter the menace. Its salient features include creation of an IED map and its inclusion in the Key Incident Tracking System (KITS) for ready reference by the Force’s commanders. The IED mapping also entails classification of vulnerable areas into red, green and yellow zones which will be based on the analysis of the incidents and the inputs gathered on the IED situation. "There is a plan to set up an exclusive first-ever school for providing training in handling of IEDs for the country's largest paramilitary force," said an official. According to the plan, army personnel will train a few officers and troopers who are operating in Naxal-hit areas and they would subsequently create a pool of experts in prevention, detection, neutralisation, destruction and disposal of IEDs. Chhattisgarh, Odisha and Jharkhand are the worst affected States in terms of landmines being planted by the Maoists. Various IED tracing devices, including 'dip sticks', used to detect hidden explosives, and sniffer dogs have failed to be foolproof and a number of patrol parties, both on foot and in vehicles, have fallen prey to these deadly explosive devices which are sometimes as heavy as 50 kilograms. According to official data, the IED’s have claimed lives of more than 105 troops in the last five years during anti-Naxal operations. The CRPF has recovered 1,547 sets of IEDs during 2006-11 and the numbers have been increasing over the years, the data added.

The Hindu reports that Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist) cadres killed one person, identified as Bandami Suba, a former Maoist cadre planning to surrender before the Police in Malkangiri District on July 8. A poster recovered from the body said that Suba was killed for working as an informer to the Police. Malkangiri Superintendent of Police, Anirudh Singh confirmed the killing of Suba. According to him it was an effort of the Maoists to terrorise disillusioned Maoist cadres who were planning to surrender before the Police and start normal life. Suba was among five persons abducted at gun point by the Maoists from Potteru village in the MV-79 Police Station limits in the night of July 5. Maoists released three of the abducted persons on July 7. However, the Police are yet to ascertain about the fate of Suresh Bandami, a contractor, who was also abducted by the Maoists.

This initiative was piloted by Union Home Minister P Chidambaram and was cleared by the Union Cabinet. Of the INR 15 billion released, the District Administrations have spent Rs 7.026 billion so far on works ranging from setting up of drinking water facilities and sanitation, construction of school buildings, roads and health centres, and electrical lighting. Further, through the IAP, INR 250 million and INR 300 million would be directly disbursed to the District-level officials for 2010-11 and 2011-12, respectively.

The State Government decided to recruit more Special Police Officers (SPOs) to counter CPI-Maoist attacks in all its 31 Naxal [Left Wing extremism]-affected Districts, reports Daily Pioneer reports on July 8. Director General of Police (DGP) Neelmani has said that the State Police will recruit 6,900 SPOs on a monthly remuneration of INR 4, 000 from villages where Maoists enjoy support or have been identified as Maoist stronghold. At present there are about 1,200 SPOs on Police rolls in Maoist-hit Districts like Jamui, Banka and Munger. "All SPOs are working under the direct supervision of the District Superintendent of Police, but there is no plan to arm them," DGP Neelmani said. "We're trying to provide training to the Special Police Officers so that they can do their work without being identified", a high-ranking Police Officer at the Police headquarters said. "The killing of police informers by the Maoists is proof that the Reds are feeling the heat of the revamped police intelligence network. It is a positive sign, but we're also mulling ways to protect lives of SPOs", Neelmani added. "The police managed to put the heat on Kabir Koda and Maoist leader of Kosi region with the help of regular feedback from the SPO there," officials pointed out.

Times of India reports that State Home Minister R. R. Patil on July 8 said that the challenges posed by Naxalites [Left wing Extremist] should be taken up nationally. The movement, once started on principles of opposing exploitation, has now become highly exploitative, he added. "Naxalites raise funds through extortion from those involved in collection of tendu leaves (used to make bidis), tea estates and mining. The groups receive ammunition stolen from Policemen in Chhattisgarh and Odisha. Such serious issues should be discussed at the national level," Patil said in Pune, while speaking at a function to release a book 'Challenges of Naxalism'.

In another development, State Chief Secretary, Bijay Patnaik said the SPO issue would be examined in the backdrop of the judgment, reports Times of India. "We will examine the Supreme Court order to see whether or not it is applicable for Odisha. There is a degree of difference between SPOs in Odisha and Chhattisgarh. The SPOs in Odisha would be appointed as constables in the future," Patnaik said. A State Government official pointed out the Government not only issued advertisements for the recruitment of SPOs, but in order to give a chance to local tribals to get jobs in their own areas, changed the guidelines for recruitment of Security Forces, reducing the minimum qualification to 8th standard and the standard height from 163 cm to 160 cm. "Earlier though local tribals were recruited as constables, there still remained a big gap in employment needs and opportunities for these people, owing to their educational and economic disadvantages," a Government official said. "Odisha Government spends Rs 30 crore [INR 300 million] on them per annum," the officer said.

He said Chhattisgarh was not the only State with SPOs. There are 40,000 SPOs in six States and Chhattisgarh has around 5,000 SPOs. The way the role of SPOs has been curtailed has serious repercussions for all the States. Raman further said Salwa Judum (an anti-Maoist vigilante group) was a peace movement started by the people of Bastar and not of his Government, rather a movement by people who stood up against Naxalism [Left Wing Extremism (LWE)] in a very Gandhian way.

"We don't think there is any confusion in the matter because the Supreme Court has granted six weeks time and in six weeks we might follow their order. Or if the government wants to give in review petition then it would. But, there is no confusion. About the security, the SPOs are not being dismissed from the posts. Supreme Court has only said that SPO should not be deployed to fight against Maoists. We would be providing them security in the camp where they would be living in," said Singh.

Shillong Times reports that, in what can be an indication of intensified rivalry between two militant outfits of Garo Hills, the Achik National Volunteer Council (ANVC) has accused the Garo National Liberation Army (GNLA) of trying to poach its cadres by offering up to INR 3 Million. “The GNLA tried to buy our cadres with offers up to Rs 30 lakh,” ANVC spokesperson Torik Jangning Marak said in a statement on July 14 (today). The outfit also alleged that GNLA cadres are assuming names (alias) similar to ANVC leaders. The ANVC, currently under ceasefire with the Government, had alleged that the GNLA is in cahoots with the National Democratic Front of Bodoland (NDFB) and the United Liberation Front of Asom (ULFA). The GNLA had also cautioned the State Government not to entertain the ANVC’s appeal to allow its cadres to carry weapons “to protect themselves from the GNLA”.

Admitting that the GNLA activities have increased in recent months, a senior Police official involved in monitoring the Police operations, however, rubbished the notion that the State police had failed to curb the activities of the militant outfit. “In the type of situation that we are involved, there were occasions that we were down, but overall success rate should be appreciated,” stated the Police official. He said that seven GNLA camps had been busted in the past six months. He said that this was no ordinary achievement.

The Interlocutors on Jammu and Kashmir said on July 13 that four broad points have emerged during their 10 months long stint in which they covered 20 of 22 Districts and met over 4000 people, according to Daily Excelsior. Chief Interlocutor Dileep Padgaonkar said everyone out of 590 delegations and 4000 people they met were convinced that process of dialogue was the only option to resolve the problems and that militancy and violence haven’t served any purpose. "A need to maintain integrity of the State and power sharing between regions and sub regions and maintaining tolerant and pluralistic culture of the State were the other major points, which have emerged during the broad dialogue’’, Padgaonkar added. He explained that though aspirations of different regions and different sets of people differed, there was a consensus among majority of people against trifurcation or bifurcation of the State. Talking about implementation of United Resolutions (UN) he said, “No one we met during our visits ever raised the issue of UN resolutions.” On separatists he said, "We are ready to meet them—openly or privately. The separatists are refusing to meet us. They have to take a decision (on meeting us),’’ admitting that the separatists are ‘‘stake holders’’ in a solution to Kashmir problem. He added that if the separatists come forward for talks with us, "it would enrich us and help us to prepare our document. Nevertheless, we would go ahead and submit our report to the Centre in September’’.

Three serial bomb blasts in the span of 10 minutes in the evening of July 13 ripped through three of the busiest hubs in Mumbai city —Zaveri Bazar, Opera House and Dadar—, killing 17 people and injuring 131 others, reports Times of India. The first explosion was at 6.54pm at Zaveri Bazaar, followed by another at Opera House a minute later. The third explosion was at 7.06pm outside Kabutarkhana, a few metres from the western side of Dadar railway station. This is the third terror attack at Zaveri Bazaar. The high explosives with timer devices were kept on vehicles at Opera House and Zaveri Bazar while at Dadar a bus stop was the target. The Police said that seven Improvised Explosive Devices (IEDs) were used for the blasts. "There could be at least three groups of bomb planters who kept the bomb and left quietly," said a security official, adding that the IEDs were wrapped in cloth bags and tiffin carriers—the signature of the IM. Sources say that it could be the handiwork of Indian Mujahideen (IM), which recently formed a group called the 313 Squad and has been recruiting youngsters to it. Police commissioner Arup Patnaik said it was a terrorist attack.

The US media on July 14 has pointed out that the attacks Mumbai on July 13 had all the markings of Lashkar-e-Toiba (LeT), according to Times of India. "Whatever the investigation uncovers -- and it's still very early -- one thing is clear: Those groups still operate despite international pressure on Pakistan after the Mumbai attacks of nearly three years ago," said the ProPublica report headlined 'Mumbai Attacks Renew Questions About Pakistan's Crackdown on Militants.' The latest attack "involved bombs planted in strategic locations, a recurring tactic used by Indian affiliates of Lashkar in recent years," it added. In the report, ProPublica's investigative journalist Sebastian Rotella said that during the past week, Pakistani leaders have criticised the Obama administration for ... withholding 800 million dollars in military aid." The latest Mumbai attacks "could also turn out to be part of that shadow-conflict. The Chicago Tribune said the attack "appears to have been carried out by associates of two Chicago terrorists (David Headley and Tahawwur Rana) convicted in June. “While no group has claimed responsibility, and the Indian Government has not blamed anyone, Wednesday's attack has all the markings of LeT, radical Pakistani terrorists who employed a pair of Chicago men as scouts and planners," it said. The report said the "coordinated explosions" in the jewellery and financial districts of Mumbai are "precisely the kinds of attacks that David Coleman Headley helped to plot for Pakistani terrorists. This latest assault was shorter, smaller and more precise, but no less unnerving." A report in the online edition of the Los Angeles Times said that in the aftermath of the Mumbai explosions, "... some suspicions focused on Pakistan-based militant groups."

Chidambaram observed that the perpetrators of the attacks had worked in a very clandestine manner since Indian intelligence agencies received no warning of a possible attack on Mumbai before the blasts. He further informed that the bombs used in the attacks were made of ammonium nitrate and were not remotely triggered.

Maharashtra Chief Minister (CM) Prithviraj Chavan said on July 15 Mumbai was ill-equipped to tackle terror, reports Times of India. Chavan admitted that owing to rampant red-tapism and procedural wrangles, his Government was not able to install around 5,000 CCTV cameras and was unable to procure sensitive weapons, bullet-proof jackets and security equipment. "We will install the CCTVs across the metropolis in a time-bound period," he stated. "As far as the procurement of weapons and equipment goes, I have personally spoken to Prime Minister Manmohan Singh and Home Minister P Chidambaram”. He stated, "Also, technology is constantly being upgraded. There appears to be a huge gap between placing an order and actual procurement, and in between if there is a change in technology, our equipment will be obsolete.'" Chavan reiterated that there were no intelligence inputs from the Centre and that the Mumbai police and crime branch had received no information on the possibility of a terror strike. "We had no information," he said. "But in view of the serial bomb blasts, we will redraft our strategy for gathering intelligence." The CM further said there were no leads suggesting the involvement of a specific terror group in 13/11 either but his Government had set up 12 Special Task Forces to track down the terror groups active in Mumbai and Maharashtra. In another context, he admitted that the Ram Pradhan committee report, which probed the 26/11, had not been implemented properly. "Some of the recommendations have been implemented," he said.

The Government is to classify ammonium nitrate as an "explosive" to help law enforcement agencies track the use and transit of this chemical that is routinely used in terror attacks in India, reports Times of India. A new notification will be issued to bring ammonium nitrate under Section 17 of the Explosives Act of 1884. This will be followed by executive regulations that will help check misuse of this chemical, which is one of the cheapest fertilizers available. Official data of pilferage available for 2004-06 alarmed the Home Ministry officials to issue an alert in 2007. There are over 21,000 ammonium nitrate manufacturers in India and reports of diversion and theft of this explosive is a routine affair. In India, ammonium nitrate has been used for terror attacks since 2007.

Nearly 450 militants at nearly 42 Pakistani arms training camps are waiting to cross over to the Indian side, General Officer Commanding (GOC, 16 Corps) Lieutenant General J P Nehra said on July 17, according to Daily Excelsior. When asked about the activity in Pakistani training camps and number of terrorists there, the GOC said, "As per intelligence inputs, there are 42 training camps, some closer to LoC [Line of Control] are still functional on that side and nearly 400 to 450 militants are there in these camps waiting for the opportunity to cross over to this side." He added, "There is no successful attempt of infiltration along the LoC since January this year. The successful infiltration level is almost zero. There were hardly 4-5 attempts, which were foiled in the recent past. We have deployed surveillance devices which can keep a watch during bad weather conditions and during nights as well. We have also set a multi-tier deployment system.” Responding to another question regarding lull along the LoC, the GOC said high vigil along the borders by troops, placement of surveillance gadgets all along the LoC and internal situation in Pakistan are the main reason behind it. However, lack of local support is yet another reason for it, he added. Replying to another question, Nehra disclosed as per latest inputs nearly 175 Lashkar-e-Toiba (LeT) and Hizb-ul-Mujahideen (HM) militants were operating in the South of Pir Panjal, including Rajouri-Poonch, Udhampur, Reasi, Banihal, Ramban and Doda. Foreigners are still dominating but most of them have turned inactive in view of mounting pressure of Security Forces and lack of local support, he asserted. When asked about use of satellite communication by militants, he said they have been using it earlier also. But militants in the State are now more relying on internet and social working sites, besides manual communication. He said militants are now using Facebook and internet in addition to manual communication, marking a change of trend. Mobile phones are less used now because they are easily intercepted, he added.

Daily Pioneer reports that Pakistan has opened three training camps for women militants in Manshera, Tarbela and Chhattar in Pakistan-occupied Kashmir (PoK) for engineering violence in Jammu & Kashmir. These recruits are imparted training to use small firearms like automatic pistols and AK-47, communication systems like GPS and satellite phones and carry out suicide attacks. Elaborating upon the new tactic used by the Inters Services Intelligence (ISI) and Pakistan Army to step up violence levels in Kashmir, sources said the ISI in June shifted five or six camps and mixed them up with local population in the hinterland in an effort to give an impression that it had dismantled terrorist infrastructure. The ISI has also formed control groups comprising serving and former soldiers and officers to train militants, chart out their movement within PoK, and identify leaders among the recruits and plan infiltration through the 750-km long LoC.

GNLA’s threat came after two units of Combat Battalion against Resolute Action (CoBRA) and five companies of Border Security Force (BSF) troopers were deployed in the Garo Hills region. “If the operations against the GNLA are not stopped by Monday, the organisation will go for serial blasts in Meghalaya,’’ GNLA ‘commander-in-chief’ Sohan D Shira reportedly said from an undisclosed location, adds Assam Tribune.

The Police on July 17 arrested a person, Shehzad Ismail Rangrezi, from new Shah Alam area in Ahmadabad after being alerted by his live-in partner that he had assembled bombs, Indian Express reported. The Police later recovered eight live crude bombs from a dry lake. Ahmadabad Police Commissioner Sudhir Sinha said, “Shehzad had brought these bombs from outside.

Achik National Volunteer Council (ANVC), a militant outfit under ceasefire, said in a press release issued on July 18 that if the GNLA was aware of what ANVC was capable of, then it would be best for it not to attempt anything that would harm the people of Meghalaya, the Garos in particular, reports Sentinel. “If the GNLA is seriously talking about the Garoland issue and the Achik’s cause, they should lay down arms and surrender instead of causing tremendous hardship to the people of Garo Hills. The NDFB and the ULFA should leave Garo Hills immediately as it has been proved that the NDFB was involved in the killing of three policemen at Medipathar and the killing at Williamnagar. It has also been proved that the ULFA was involved in the killing of five coal labourers at Goka,” the press release said. The ANVC said the GNLA should stop this practice of “authorizing killing of own brethren by outsiders”.

Intelligence Agencies suspect that militant outfits targeting India have moved their communications significantly to Internet and other possible innovative means, Times of India reported. A senior intelligence officer said they had for some time now been suspecting that the terrorists had moved their communications to Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP), a communication technology that helps delivery of voice and multimedia data over internet. A senior Army officer said they were getting credible inputs in recent times that Kashmiri terrorists were being provided smart phones from which calls could be made using Skype, the popular Internet VoIP site. Though they haven't yet recovered any such Skype phones, Army found that communications over mobile and Thuraya satellite phones had mostly dried up, he said.

Investigators probing the July 13 triple bomb blasts in Mumbai suspect that the blasts could have been the handiwork of a little-known militant outfit, the JIAM (Jam-i-yyathul Ansarul Muslimeen), experts have started focusing on the involvement of JIAM, a relatively new terror outfit with a strong base in South India. Another investigator said the outfit functioned as a shadow organisation of the Indian Mujahideen (IM), according to DNA. The outfit recruited people from the IM and even from the underworld. An officer from a central investigative agency said JIAM, originally a organisation based in Bangladesh, has recruited several fresh faces from Uttar Pradesh, Madhya Pradesh, Jharkhand, Gujarat, West Bengal, Andhra Pradesh and Kerala. There are unconfirmed reports that say JIAM could also have connections with the Taliban, the officer said.

We will wait for the US agencies to conduct the probe.” Fai, who originally hails from Budgam district in Kashmir, is now a citizen of America.

Sentinel reports that the two-day anti-terrorism Peace Convention, held under the aegis of “The Terror Victim’s Family Forum of Assam”, an umbrella organization of victims of militancy, attended by 500 ‘victims’ families at the Sivasagar Natya Mandir in Sivasagar District, concluded on July 20. Former president of Axom Xahitya Xabha Kanak Sen Deka, who was attending the convention as chief guest, said, “ULFA has created a new trend in the insurgency-infested Northeast by killing people and triggering blasts in public places and busy localities. The ULFA also did not hesitate to kill innocent school children who had gathered to observe Independence Day. Compared to other northeastern militant groups like the NSCN, who have refrained from killing people, ULFA has been doing this even at the cost of erosion of its mass base.” Speaking on the occasion, senior journalist Ramen Kumar Goswami said, “The ULFA must shun violence and its armed activities. If the ULFA were to rethink its demand for sovereignty, then, peace is possible.”

The Scotland Yard on July 21 initiated a probe into the activities and financing of London-based Kashmir lobby group, Justice Foundation, suspected to be a front of Pakistan's Inter Services Intelligence (ISI), according to a source in the agency. A Scotland Yard spokesman told Times of India, "We can confirm we are liaising with US authorities." The British home ministry said it was probably not an offence under UK laws for lobbyists to be under-written by a foreign government or any of its agencies. "To the best of our knowledge, it is not," said a spokesman. This means police and the Crown Prosecution Service will have to take recourse to some other legislation if they proceed against Justice Foundation. India will soon write to UK and Belgium to initiate similar action against "Kashmir Centres" in London and Brussels.

Times of India reports that Qurat-ul-Ain has become the centre of a new controversy in Kashmir. Separatist leaders are threatening an agitation if she isn't released. The Police say they have a watertight case against her; she is a Lashkar-e-Toiba (LeT) courier. "We have been watching her for a while and picked her up only after we learnt that she was part of the team that targeted the police station," said a senior security source. "Militants use young girls like Qurat-ul-Ain to reconnoiter targets, to act as couriers, because they don't draw too much attention. But the same is also true of us here: some of our best sources here are women," said an unnamed senior Police officer. Another top officer said, "Let's be honest: we have lost control of the main street here. It's the militants who control the mohallas of old city." "The basic problem is that the militant presence is strong. Surgical strikes won't help. What's needed is large-scale crackdown like we did in the early 1990s. Push in a large number of troops, surround a locality and go house-to-house. But the political leadership won't hear of it. Meanwhile, the militants are exerting their grip recruiting more people and eliminating our sources," said another security source.

Times of India reports that the Union Government, in the aftermath of the Mumbai serial blasts case (13/7), is fast taking up the initiative to set up the National Counter-Terrorism Centre (NCTC) – an umbrella body to deal with terror threats in the country. The Union Home Ministry had prepared a detailed discussion paper comprising the composition and structure of such a centre and sent it to the PMO in April 2010. Under the proposal, the NCTC will be the nodal agency for counter-terrorism in the country with organizations like Intelligence Bureau's Multi-Agency Centre (MAC), Joint Intelligence Committee (JIC), National Technical Research Organisation (NTRO), National Security Guard (NSG) and other related agencies reporting to it. The NCTC will also have direct control over National Investigation Agency (NIA). Since the Centre will also have the mandate to look into the issues of insurgency in northeast and Maoist threat, all central armed police forces like CRPF, CISF, BSF, ITBP, SSB and Assam Rifles will also report to it.

According to TIMES NOW, Ghulam Nabi Fai’s Kashmiri American Centre in various countries, not just in United States (US) but also in the United Kingdom (UK) was being used to spread Pakistan’s Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI’s) anti-India agenda. Following these revelations Britain’s Scotland Yard has initiated probe in to the financing of London-based Justice Foundation which was being routed money through the Fai’s Kashmiri American Centre. Earlier, few years back, a probe was launched against the sources of funding of the Foundation, which is accused of financing 'jihadi' groups that have been launching attacks against India in Jammu and Kashmir. Fai (62) and Zaheer Ahmad (63) both US citizens, were charged with conspiring to act as agents of a foreign power in violation of the Foreign Agents Registration Act of US. Fai, with the help of Ahmad, allegedly funnelled ISI’s cash into the US to influence the American policy on Kashmir. Further, Deccan Herald reported that Fai’s international seminars on Kashmir were also financed by the ISI. According to the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) affidavit, the ISI instructed Fai on whom to invite to the seminars. This has raised valid concern in India as several prominent Indian journalists and opinion makers have participated in the seminars where Pro-Pakistan resolutions were passed.

Chhattisgarh Government lowered the educational qualifications for Adivasi youth to recruit them in the regular Police Force and Armed Force, reports Times of India. The State cabinet passed the order that education up to Class V will make applicants eligible for constabulary; the earlier requirement was clearing Class X. The announcement comes weeks after the Supreme Court order led to the disarming of Special Police Officers (SPOs) — nearly 5,000 tribal men hired on a temporary basis on less than one-third the salary of a constable and deployed in anti-Maoist operations. The court said they were being used as "canon fodder in the killing fields of Dantewada". Chief Minister Raman Singh said, "Eighty percent of the SPOs will become constables. For the remaining 20% we would try and get them to clear through open school."

Daily India reports that the Indian Army personnel have stepped up night patrolling in the forests and mountains along the Line of Control (LoC) with Pakistan occupied Kashmir (PoK). Vigil has been strengthened in the Tangdhar range of Kashmir valley. Colonel Vikas Slathia of the Jammu and Kashmir Rifles said night patrolling was crucial since there were greater chances of extremists of crossing the borders after dark. "Most of the activities of the terrorists, if they want to infiltrate into our country, they will prefer hours of darkness. So we need to dominate the area by patrolling, because at many places, you must have seen, there is a lot of forest, there is a lot of foliage, which provide enough cover to the terrorists which cannot be seen by our devices which are visual in nature, for which patrolling is absolutely necessary," he added.

Rehman, however, gave an assurance that Pakistan would still exhaust all possible means to give voice samples of 26/11 suspects to India.

Sentinel reports on July 26 that Mizoram Bru Displaced People’s Forum (MBDPF), based at Naisingpara in North Tripura, took offense at the July 21 statement of Mizoram Home Minister Lalzirliana in which he said that the Government of Mizoram would hold talks with the rival group of the forum, led by LB Chorkhy having the support of militant outfits and not with the MBDPF leadership represented by S Sawaibunga and Bruno Msha on the issue of Bru repatriation. In a joint statement issued to the media on July 25, S. Sawaibunga and Bruno, ‘president’ and ‘general secretary’ of the forum, described the statement of the Home Minister as most ‘unfortunate’, ‘false’ and a ploy to create division among the leaders of the forum and thus delay and even scuttle the process of repatriation of more than 30,000 refugees languishing in relief camps for the last 13 years. This stand of the Government of Mizoram is all the more inexplicable considered against the backdrop of their whole-hearted cooperation with Mizoram and Tripura.

There is increasing evidence of very active and growing collaboration between the Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist) and militant groups of northeast India, an intelligence agency official told Hindustan Times. "Since 2009, insurgents from India's northeast have been visiting Jharkhand and imparting training to Maoist cadres who are very keen on acquiring training on IEDs and battle tactics like how to conduct an ambush. The number of such exchanges is growing," the source said alluding to the involvement of Manipuri and Naga groups. "At the same time, Maoists from central India have also been spreading their influence among the tea-garden communities of Assam. Many youth from the tea gardens have been recruited. The July 10 bomb blast in a train in Assam is also a handiwork of the Adivasi People's Army (APA) which has very strong linkages with Maoists," the source added. The Eastern Region Bureau of the Maoists has been tasked to forge alliances and set up a network in the Northeast. The Maoists are also known to be very keen to set a strong base in the Taga area of Myanmar. In fact, recent reports indicate the presence of a small group of Maoists in Taga. This restive area, in northwest Myanmar, is often referred to as "United Area" because of the strong presence of almost all the insurgent groups of India's northeast.

Twenty-four Naxalites were gunned down by rival gangs,” he said. The DGP said that the Nayi Disha (New Direction) programme has brought a great change in the lives of the youth who had been lured into the Maoist fold. “Till date, 31 Naxals have surrendered. There are more in queue,” Rath said. Rath also said that the number of Naxal-infested Police Stations (PS) has decreased in the last two quarters. “Cases are being reported from just 87 PS that happened to be 107 in the past quarters.

Telegraph reports that the Communist party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist)-backed People’s Committee against Police Atrocities (PCPA) and other Maoist-backed organisations held rallies in Jhargram and Kolkata where some of the activists burnt her effigies on July 26. They accused Mamata Banerjee, the Chief Minister, of betrayal over her Government’s failure to release the PCPA leaders and withdraw joint forces from Jungle Mahal. In Kolkata, the Maoist sympathisers clashed with Police who tried to prevent them from erecting a “column” for the martyrs of the Singur-Nandigram and Jungle Mahal movements at College Square. They demanded the immediate release of all political prisoners. 12 members of United Student Democratic Front (USDF), a Maoist sympathiser group, were arrested in the protests that saw the chief minister’s effigy being burnt and a stretch of College Street blocked briefly. In Jhargram, Belpahari and other areas of West Midnapore, rallies were held for the “martyrs” by the Forum Against Terror, Corruption and Imperialism, an umbrella organisation of the PCPA, Jhargram Students Federation, Nari Ijjat Bachao Committee (committee for protection of women dignity) and others. The list of the “martyrs” included top PCPA leaders Lalmohan Tudu, Sidhu Soren and Umakanta Mahato, killed in encounters with the joint forces. Incidentally, the day was with the first death anniversary of Soren, a Maoist ‘commander’ shot dead in 2010 in Goaltore forest area.

The Security Forces (SFs) on July 26 shot dead a Hizb-ul-Mujahideen (HM) militant at Gokund in the Rennai area under the jurisdiction of Marwah Police Station in Kishtwar District, reports Daily Excelsior. Recoveries made from his possession included one AK-47 rifle, 37 AK rounds, two magazines, two Chinese grenades, one radio set and some incriminating documents pertaining to HM. Initially, SFs identified the slain militant as Sajjad Ahmed alias Rizwan, a HM ‘district commander’. Later, with the help of the locals, the SFs ascertained that the slain militant is ‘commander’ Wasif alias Kamran alias Subhash, son of Jeevan Kumar, another ‘commander’ of the outfit. Wasif was earlier named as Subash but had converted himself a long ago and joined the ranks of HM. Sajjad Ahmed alias Rizwan, Shakeel Ahmed alias Chhota Hafiz, Riaz Ahmed and Mohammad Shaffi Hazam were the militants still surviving in upper reaches of Kishtwar. “As far as we are concerned, every person who has taken gun against the nation is a militant...," said General Staff (16 Corps) Brigadier J. S. Cheema, according to NDTV.

Union Home Minister P. Chidambaram said the Centre will convene an all party meeting once the Interlocutors on Kashmir submit their recommendations for discussing them, Daily Excelsior reported. While no date on the submission of the report by the Interlocutors had been fixed, sources said that the final report may be handed over to the Government by the end of September 2011. The panel had submitted its interim report nearly six weeks back. The Interlocutors have so far made 10 visits to the State and covered 18 of the 22 Districts during which they have met nearly 5,000 people which includes political leaders, trade unions, lawyers, student unions and newly elected Panches and Sarpanches. The panel will now be visiting four remaining Districts—Shopian, Kupwara and Baramulla in Kashmir and Samba in Jammu after which they were expected to hold meetings with major political parties in the State to discuss broad contours of the report. In another context, Chidambaram said that the crucial phase of the new policy for return of youth of Jammu and Kashmir, who had crossed over to Pakistan-occupied-Kashmir (PoK) for arms training in early 1990s and were now willing to join the mainstream, was "extremely complicated" and the Government is trying to address it, adds DNA. Replying to questions on whether Inter Services Intelligence (ISI) or other terror groups had abducted the youth who were willing to return to India, the minister said "I do not know about all that. All I know is that the Government of Jammu and Kashmir received a certain number of applications for surrender and rehabilitation policy and they have been able to shortlist certain number of names to whom benefit of travel documents can be given to return to the Indian side of the LoC [Line of Control]." He said having reached that point now, the logistic problems are "extremely complicated" and were being addressed. He also noted, "I think the Government [State] has learnt some lessons how to handle stone pelters. They are doing it much better this year. There are also far fewer cases of stone pelting. They are able to localise it and contain it. The Police and the Government has learnt lessons on how to handle stone pelting," he said. On the issue of infiltration, Chidambaram said that Pakistan-based terror outfits were trying hard to push in their men from across the border but only a few such bids could materialise. "The attempts to infiltrate are still high. The successful attempts are few," he said. To a question, he said, "I think threats are exaggerated. There is a threat but I don't think we should exaggerate the threat. Things are certainly more normal today than they were couple of years ago. Certainly more normal than they were six-seven years ago. Last year you must keep out the stone pelting and firing that was an unfortunate chapter. If you keep that out, you will find that you will see that the trend line of violence in Kashmir has declined."

According to IBN Live, Chief Minister Omar Abdullah said that "there is nothing new in Hurriyat Conference leaders meeting Pakistani dignitaries. This is not happening for the first time and there is nothing to worry about." He, however, added, "If they want inclusion of Kashmiri leadership in the dialogue, then Pakistan will have to talk to the mainstream leadership also." He said separatists were not the only leaders in Jammu and Kashmir as the mainstream political parties have proved their representative character from time to time. In another context he said, that His government was focusing on providing necessary infrastructure and manpower at hospitals, schools and other institutions so as to ensure quality services to the people. "Unless our hospitals, schools and colleges are manned by qualified faculty, required technicians and ministerial staff, the prompt and up to the mark delivery cannot be assured," Omar said. He said equal focus was on both consolidation and expansion of the infrastructure.

According to Telegraph, the Maoists have sent a “letter” agreeing to talks, provided some conditions are met, Government sources said on July 27. Earlier this week, the Maoist State leadership had wanted to meet the Government’s interlocutors to know Mamata Banerjee’s “mind” before articulating their position on the chief minister’s talks offer. The “letter” is believed to have followed such an interaction, which could not be independently confirmed from Maoist sources. It couldn’t also be ascertained if the overture was a collective decision of the Maoist state leadership. The Government sources said some of the conditions were release of senior Maoists lodged in Bengal jails and leaders of the Maoist-backed People’s Committee against Police Atrocities (PCPA), including Chhatradhar Mahato. The Maoists have also stuck to their earlier demand of withdrawal of “90-95 per cent of joint forces” in Jungle Mahal.

Assam Tribune reports that the Government of India (GoI) is planning to offer a special development package for the Naga inhabited areas in the North East and will persuade militant outfit National Socialist Council of Nagaland-Isak-Muivah (NSCN-IM) to accept it. Also, the militant outfit has coined a new term "shared sovereignty" and discussions are going on in this regard. Sources said that the NSCN leadership is now demanding "shared sovereignty" but the new term has not yet been described properly. In federal structure, the Centre has very little role to play on the subjects included in the state list and even that can be termed as shared sovereignty, sources pointed out.

Kashmiri separatist leader Ghulam Nabi Fai, accused of being an Inter Services Intelligence (ISI) agent and funneling its money into the US to influence American lawmakers on Kashmir, has admitted to taking money from ISI, reports Indian Express. During his detention hearing on July 26 at the US District Court in Alexandria, Virginia, a suburb of Washington, the prosecution said that Fai, the head of Kashmiri American Council, had admitted to receiving funds from the ISI. His attorneys, Nina Ginsberg and Khurram Wahid, claimed that though Fai took money from ISI, he never toed their line. The federal prosecutors, however, told the court that Fai not only received USD 4 million from ISI, but also strictly followed their agenda on Kashmir. Special FBI Agent Sarah Webb Linden told the court that Fai’s agenda was heavily dictated by the ISI. In fact, for his every meeting, agenda and speeches, he received bullet points from his ISI handlers in Pakistan. Fai did, what “ISI asked him to do,” she said. Also, US Attorney Gordon Kromberg said Fai has been an ISI agent for the past two decades. He told the court that during his interrogation after his arrest on July 19, Fai acknowledged to his links with ISI and having received money from the ISI.

"The court order may not be applicable for the state. The method of recruitment and engagement of SPOs in Orissa is totally different from Chhattisgarh," Chief Secretary B. K. Patnaik said on July 28. SPOs appointed in tribal-dominated districts in Orissa did not directly confront Maoists and would be taken as regular constables after completion of a three-year tenure, he said. The youths appointed as SPOs in tribal areas received an opportunity to remain in mainstream instead of joining the Maoist brigade, he said. As many as 4,500 youths have so far been appointed as SPOs in the State and the Government was not averse to recruit more, a home department official said.

"Besides strengthening SOG, we have also sought more jawans [troopers] from the central para-military force (CPMF)," Home Secretary U N Behera told reporters after the meeting. SOG now has 50 units and another 35 units would be added to increase its strength, he said. The State Government also decided to raise a special State Industrial Security Force along the lines of CISF. "The crime branch of police, which had been dealing with important crimes, would now have an economic offence wing," he said. Besides, 788 vacant posts of Police officers and about 5,200 posts of constables would be filled this year. Behera said the Government has also decided to regularize the service of the Special Police Officers (SPOs) who have completed three years in service. At least 12 battalions of CPMF are now deployed in the State while two more battalions could arrive here soon, the sources said.

Times of India reports that India plans to approach a global inter-governmental body - Financial Action Task Force (FATF) - asking it to treat the issue of 'fake currency notes' as an instrument of 'terror funding'. New Delhi will back its demand by presenting an exhaustive paper to the global forum, highlighting how Pakistan-based terrorist organizations have been using fake Indian currency notes (FICN) routes to fund their operations in Jammu and Kashmir and other parts of the country for long. After approaching the FATF, which aims to develop and promote national and international policies to combat 'money laundering' and 'terror financing', India will subsequently also raise the issue before the World Bank, IMF and Interpol.

The Delhi Police has reportedly launched a manhunt for Nasir Safi Mir, who is accused of funding several Hurriyat leaders and is believed to have fled to the Gulf after jumping parole, reports Daily Excelsior. He was arrested by Delhi Police in February 2006 while carrying INR 55 lakh from a Delhi-based jeweller along with some explosives. He had jumped parole which he had got after several requests made by his family to a court citing medical problems. Mir, against whom a non-bailable warrant was issued in 2009, managed to escape using the Nepal route from where he had used the forged passport procured with the help of a senior separatist leader in Kashmir and officials in security establishment, they said. He reached Dubai after making a detour through Europe and Libya. However, the sources now claim that he has left Dubai as well. The name of Mir, a resident of North Kashmir, who ostensibly used carpet trade and later a money exchange business in Dubai for sending hawala money (illegal money transfer) to Hurriyat leaders and other separatists in Kashmir, cropped up when the Government was examining the role of Kashmiri American Council leader Gulam Nabi Fai and whether India could give some additional information to the US, the sources said. Apart from Mir, considered as the "financial brain" behind funding of separatist activities in Kashmir, investigators were also probing the role of some senior Government officials who had helped him in securing a passport from a Southern State which helped him to flee from Nepal around October 2008, official sources said.
