At least four villagers who were killed and one of those injured in the anti-Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist) operations in the night of June 28 in Chhattisgarh had Police records of being involved in Maoist activities, Security agencies claimed on July 2 as they sought to counter the outrage over reports that many of those killed may have been innocent, reports The Indian Express. The agencies also said that some more among the victims were suspected of being Maoists but that could be established only after an investigation. They also did not rule out the possibility that some of the minors killed may not have any Maoist connections and may have been used as human shields while the others could have been child soldiers as the extremists are known to have children’s wings.

The State Home department in a report on July 2 revealed that there are 2,080 unmarked graves in Poonch and Rajouri Districts, according to Tehelka. According to the report 3,431 militants have been killed in these Districts over the past two decades and of them 2,080 were unidentified foreign militants. The report states that the bodies of the militants, who were not identified, were handed over to local residents who carried out the burials according to religious rites. “The police could not prepare and maintain the identification profile of these slain militants as most of them were foreign terrorists and were operating under code names”, stated the report. According to the report identifying foreign militants has always been a problem in the counter-insurgency operations and hence they are categorized as “unidentified persons”. “However, it is clear beyond doubt that all those killed were combatants. In all the incidents, the bodies of the slain militants who were locals were identified, and handed over to their legal heirs for the final rites,” the report states. The report was presented to the State Human Rights Commission (SHRC) on July 3.

Despite our best efforts, the State Government is unable to award projects of 800 kilometres in the region. We have decided to go to the ground level, interact with District-level officers and sort out the issue. The main problem is that contractors are not coming forward to bid for these projects. We will see if we can break up the bigger projects and engage local contractors to complete these missing links."

One Pika Gun, 75 rounds of Pika ammunition, two Chinese Pistols, two Pistol magazines, nine Pistol ammunition rounds, one UBGL Thrower, six UBGL Shell, one Detonator, one Rocket Launcher and four Hand grenades were recovered from the arrestees.

Superintendent of Police (SP, Sopore) Imtiaz Hussain said that local boys were recruited into the outfit building a network of LeT operatives who were bent upon executing various terrorist actions in and around Sopore in criminal conspiracy with one Pakistani terrorist code named Fahadullah, who is operating in Sopore, who in turn has been taking directions from another terrorist code named Hanzullah-an LeT ‘commander’ based in Pakistan. He said that Fahadullah is the only surviving LeT terrorist of Pakistani origin in Sopore active as on date. "After being indoctrinated with Jihadi ideology, the group members had formally joined LeT organization and were provided the communication gadgets and weaponry", he added. "The members of the module have been assigned with various tasks of couriering the weapons and money, identifying the targets vis-a-vis security installations and arranging communication devices. Some of the members of the module were preparing to visit Pakistan on legal documents to get further training in bomb making and other terrorist activities, while others were preparing other terrorist actions including grenade attacks on VIP rallies and attacks on police and security forces", the SP added.

Recent investigations have also revealed that IM's Bihar module, was not the "latest" but the "oldest" module formed by the terror outfit, as reported on July 4, by The Times of India. "The Bihar module was the first one to come up under the tutelage of Yasin Bhatkal and Mohammad Tariq Anjum Hasan," said a source. "However, as this module was more ideologically inclined and was part of the core group, the other modules, those in Pune and Beed in Maharashtra and Azamgarh in Uttar Pradesh were tasked with executing the terror attacks across the country till 2008. It was only when these modules were either eliminated or busted that IM fell back on their recruits from Samastipur-Darbhanga and Nalanda," the source added.

Rift appears to be widening within APHC-Mirwaiz (APHC-M) with several leaders seeking reorganization of the amalgam after its executive council meet was postponed on July 1, according to Times of India. Mirwaiz Umer Farooq had postponed the meeting citing the fire that gutted Sufi saint Dastgeer Sahib's shrine in Srinagar on June 25. Senior APHC-M leaders like Nayeem Khan refused to believe the shrine fire led to the meeting's cancellation. He did not name the Mirwaiz but said, "Some leaders avoid to explain their stand on certain vital issues for which Hurriyat conference stands for. That led to the meeting's deferment." But another leader Shabir Ahmad Shah said the meeting will be held soon to restructure Hurriyat. "The meeting will be held definitely," he said.

Union Government has categorically stated that the National Socialist Council of Nagaland-khaplang (NSCN-K) led by S.S. Khaplang, which signed a ceasefire with Myanmar on April 9, is providing shelter to Northeast insurgent outfits. The union representatives and the NSCN-K leadership that met in Kohima on June 3 discussed several issues, including the one on providing shelter and aiding northeastern outfits, including United Liberation Front of Asom (ULFA), despite being warned by New Delhi against doing so. The chairman of the ceasefire supervisory board, Major General (retd) N. George, said during the meeting that the security forces had tabled clear evidence that NSCN-K still shelter cadres of other outfits. He said there was clear evidence that ULFA camps in Changlang and Tirap Districts of Arunachal Pradesh were aided by the NSCN-K. “There is enough evidence that the NSCN (K) is providing shelter to cadres of other insurgent groups,” George said. The NSCN-K rebutted the claim of the Centre’s representative, but did not deny the presence of cadres of Northeast militants in Myanmar.

According to Kazmi’s interrogation report, Houshang Afshar Irani, who allegedly stuck a magnetic bomb on the Israeli embassy vehicle carrying Tal Yehoshua Koren, had initially planned to strike on January 22 but deferred it at the last moment. According to Kazmi’s interrogation report, Houshang Afshar Irani, who flew to Kuala Lumpur from Delhi on the day of the attack, was scheduled to travel to Tehran via Doha on January 22, the original date for the attack. Earlier, investigators had linked the Delhi attack to a botched terror attack in Bangkok on February 14 and blamed it on a module headed by Sadaghatzadeh Masoud, arrested in Kuala Lumpur on February 15 as he tried to flee. Red corner notices have already been issued against the three suspects — Houshang Afshar Irani, Syed Ali Sadr Mahdian and Abolghasemi Mohammad Reza — who are believed to be in Iran.

Allegedly pressurised by the Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist), elected panchayat (local self-government institution) body members of Kalimela block in Malkangiri District have stated that they would resign if some long-standing demands of their area were not fulfilled, reports The Hindu. According to sources Maoists had called up a meeting inside Gomphagunda forest on July 4 which was attended by a large number of elected members of panchayat bodies of Kalimela block. Around 1,000 Maoist sympathisers were said to be present at the meeting. One Zilla Parishad (ZP) member, 18 sarpanches and 15 panchayat samiti members were present at this meeting. According to a sarpanch around seven Maoist cadres were present there. But they were in plain dresses without any arms. The Maoists ordered the elected panchayat body members to resign if administration and Government did not take steps to fulfil a promise related to extension of an irrigation canal. The elected panchayat body members eventually provided a statement to the local media claiming that they would resign if the demand related to the canal did not show any positive sign within 15 days.

Figures with Jammu and Kashmir’s Home Department say that SFs have seized 30,752 AK-series assault rifles, 11,431 pistol and revolvers, 1,027 universal machine guns, 2,262 rocket propelled grenade launchers, 391 sniper rifles and hundreds of other weapons, including light machine guns and self-loading rifles in 22 years of militancy, according to Telegraph India. The ammunition recovered includes more than 450,0000 bullets and 63,000 grenades, besides 45,000 kilogram of explosives. The official home document claims: “The recovery of such a big haul of weapons and ammunitions from the possession of terrorists is ample evidence to establish that the state has been facing nothing short of full-scale war by these terrorists at the behest of their motivators and mentors from across the border.” An unnamed Army officer said the recovered arms and ammunition was enough to equip 30,000 soldiers. “A conventional army division has around 10,000 men and officers. The seized weapons would form the basic nucleus of weapons in two to three divisions and will meet their requirement of small arms, automatic weapons or ant-tank capability,” he said. The Home Department figures also reveal that 21,449 militants were killed and 21,655 arrested during this period, taking the combined figures to over 43,000.

The Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist) is losing its base in North Chhotanagpur zone of Jharkhand, comprising seven Districts of Dhanbad, Bokaro, Koderma, Giridih, Chatra, Hazaribagh and Ramgarh, said Inspector General of Police of North Chhotanagpur zone, M L Meena on July 5, reports The Times of India. The place is no more a Maoist stronghold as Police have arrested large number of Maoists from this area in the last few months. The outfit is facing dearth of cadres with no newcomers joining it. Besides, frequent raids to curb illegal coal mining and transportation activities have badly hit their revenue earnings. However, Meena said that there is a chance of Maoists triggering violent incidents in coming days as they are trying to register their presence among people in a big way. The Police have been put on alert for combat. "Maoist menace in the area has decreased. The cadres could be hiding in remote areas where penetration of Police forces is less," he said. Meena said that the Maoists at present have confined their presence and movement to Jhumra and Upperghat in Bokaro, Pirtanda, Parasnath and Tundi belt in Giridih and Dhanbad beside Gaya-Palamu border areas in Chatra. However the Police Forces are frequently raiding these areas to keep a tab on the developments.

The day-long bandh (shutdown strike) called on July 5 by the Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist) remained by and large peaceful in Gadchiroli and Gondia Districts of Maharashtra, reports The Times of India. The Maoists had called the bandh to protest two encounters of South Chhattisgarh in June 28-29, where the Maoists have accused Security Forces (SFs) of gunning down villagers in the name of action against armed guerrillas. The Maoists tried to stop traffic by tying banners and creating small obstacles across roads with stones at several places in Gadchiroli like Dhanora, Kasansur, Jarawandi, Pendri and Korchi, and some other places in southern parts of the District. Attempts to paralyse traffic by blocking roads in some parts of Maoist-dominated Gadchiroli and Gondia Districts were thwarted by SFs, who had begun their preventive action on the eve of the strike. Superintendent of Police, Gondia, Dilip Zalke said there were no untoward incidents in the District. "The Naxal [Left Wing Extremism (LWE)] bandh had no impact on normal life," he said.

There are at least 3,500 Meitei militants in different camps across Kachin, Sagaing and Chin areas of Myanmar. India is trying to help the newly democratised Myanmar regime to co-operate on the ground with its forces. “The cadre strength of Meitei groups will be reduced to one-third by Myanmar,” a Government source said. This would be affected through the NSCK, led by S.S. Khaplang, who mentored several Meitei groups from Manipur for many years without much opposition from the State. However, a day before Prime Minister Manmohan Singh’s visit to Yangon and Naypyidaw on May 28, the Myanmar Government directed Khaplang to ask Manipur-based groups to get out of the country by June 10.

"Maoists are active in the three States of Chhattisgarh, Odisha and Jharkhand," Chidambaram said. On the other hand, he said, "Never before has there been such an improvement in the security situation in Jammu and Kashmir and the Northeast." Chidambaram, however, complimented the West Bengal Government saying that Maoist activities have declined in the State. "Thanks to the policies we followed during both the previous Left Front Government and the new Government now, Maoist activities have been wiped out in the affected Districts of West Bengal," he said. On the question of withdrawing central forces from 'Junglemahal' area, he said it was not a policy matter, but an operational decision. "That is an operational decision and not a policy or political decision. It will be taken by the DGP of the state and senior officers of central forces," he said.

Since the people in the eastern and northern States are so vigilant, the fake currency is being diverted to States like Tamil Nadu”.

Army on July 8 said militants are likely to target Security Forces (SFs) in busy and heavily populated areas with the aim of causing harm to innocent civilians caught in the crossfire, according to Daily Excelsior. “Inimical elements are likely to fire upon security forces in busy populated areas and incite them to open fire so that it could lead to death or injuries to innocent civilians and cause collateral damage,” General Officer Commanding (GOC) of Srinagar-based 15 Corps Lieutenant General Om Prakash said in a statement. The GOC said: "There are inputs of large concentration of terrorists in launch pads across the LoC [Line of Control] which indicates likelihood of increased attempts at infiltration in the future."

The Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist) cadres allegedly abducted two persons in Bandhugaon block in Koraput District of Odisha on July 8 night, for being Police informers, reports The Times of India. This follows the arrest of one of their sympathizers. While the arrested Maoist sympathizer is Kadraka Puala of Elangawalsa village, the two abducted fellow villagers are Kadraka Lachana and Kadraka Mali. "As no police complaint was lodged by the family of the kidnapped duo, we are yet to ascertain the incident. We are gathering intelligence inputs about it," said Inspector-in-Charge (IIC) of Bandhugaon Police Station, Abhay Behera. Sources said after Police arrested Puala on July 8, for his involvement in the killing of Enkana Naidu of Elangawalsa in January, for allegedly being a Police informer. Over three dozen villagers, including women, had gheraoed the Bandhugaon Police Station demanding Puala's release. Though the Police managed to pacify the agitating villagers, in the evening a group of Maoists swooped down on Elangawalsa and abducted five villagers but later freed three of them. Admitting that, Puala was arrested for his involvement in the murder and few other Maoist offensives, the Police officer said, "Puala was working as an over-ground element of the Maoists, He has confessed to his involvement in the Naidu murder case. The abducted villagers are not our informers."

A senior Army official on July 9, said there was no move to reduce the number of troops deployed in the Jammu and Kashmir as it might lead to problems for security forces engaged in counter terrorist operations for over two decades, according to The Times of India. He commented, "No, there is no such proposal... We have to carry on the pressure on terrorists. If you let anything loose, then we may have problems”. Sources said "anti-peace" elements were still active in the valley and constant vigil has to be maintained there to continue the present atmosphere. The Army's stand on the issue comes against the backdrop of demands by various groups to remove the controversial Armed Forces Special Powers Act (AFSPA) from certain parts of the state in view of the improved security scenario there.

Bruce Riedel, Senior Fellow Foreign Policy at Brookings Institution, considers Lashkar-e-Toiba (LeT) to be more dangerous than al Qaeda, by Hindustan Times reported on July 10. He commented, "With al Qaeda on the ropes, LeT, with the help of its Pakistani backers, is now probably the most dangerous terror group in the world”. According to him, the November 26, 2008 (26/11) attack by ten LeT terrorists on multiple targets in Mumbai was the most significant and innovative terrorist attack since 9/11. The Mumbai attack, he wrote, marked the maturation of LeT from a Punjabi-based Pakistani terror group targeting India exclusively to a member of the global Islamic jihad targeting the enemies of al Qaeda.

State Director General of Police (DGP) J.N. Choudhury while talking to The Sentinel on July 9 stated that Left-wing extremism is increasing in different areas of Assam and about 200 Maoist cadres are working jointly with the United Liberation Front of Asom (ULFA) linkmen and other local rebel groups to spread their tentacles in the State. “It’s a strategy of the Maoist groups in Assam. They are taking the help of the local militant groups to know the region in a better way,” said Choudhury, adding, “Aditya Bora, a Maoist leader, is presently leading the Maoist operation in upper Assam.” He said the Maoists were targeting the people in the rural areas and brainwashing them. “The Maoist groups everywhere in the country target the villagers and incite them to go against the government. These groups take the advantage of the backwardness of the area and the poor condition of the people living in such area,” added the DGP. DGP further said that Maoists are running a cell in Guwahati for facilitating transit of their top leaders from other parts of the country to Assam or vice-versa. “Chandan Barman, a Maoist who was arrested recently in Guwahati, admitted that he helps in the transit of Maoist leaders in the State,” he said.

And responding to charges that only six of the 19 killed had prior Police record — thereby implying that the rest were not Maoist cadres — Raman Singh, in an emailed interview with The Indian Express, said the absence of previous record in police registers cannot automatically lead to the inference that those who died were “innocent”.

As many as 24 sarpanches (head of village level local self-Government institution) en-masse tendered their resignations to the local administration in Gadchiroli District of Maharashtra on July 10, citing harassment of people by Police and non-fulfilment of their long-pending demands, official sources said. As many as 114 Panchayat members from these 24 village panchayats had resigned on July 9, they said. Harassment of the local people by Police and non- fulfilment of demands, for which Sarpanches had taken out a morcha in October 28 last year, have been given as reasons for the resignations, the sources said. However, the real reason of mass resignations is said to be threat from the Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist) who are active in Gadchiroli.

Letters allegedly written by a terror outfit have exposed the liaison, militant organizations share with the Pakistani Army and also revealed their significant infiltration strategies, reports claimed on July 11, according to Zee News. The letters, accessed by a leading English TV news channel, have an authoritarian tone and give an interesting peek into the terror groups’ modus operandi. The letters also reveal how these terror groups dictate terms to the Pakistani Army when it comes to deciding the targets of attack or claiming responsibility. These letters were written in November 2011 by a terror outfit identified as United Jihad Council and addressed to various places in Pakistan, one address being that of a Commander in Pakistani Army, based in Pakistan occupied Kashmir (PoK) near the Line of Control (LoC). As per the letters, several Indian Army Bases, religious sites and top figures are on the radar of the Pakistan-based terror groups. The letters have revealed that a specific instruction has been given to Lashkar-e-Toiba (LeT), under international scanner for its terror-related activities, not to claim responsibility for any militant attacks. These letters provide a clear view of the rapport shared by the militants with Pakistan’s Army as one of them complains about Army “not implementing” their instructions. Militants have also mentioned in one such letter that Pakistan Army won’t fire until a terror group gets under the clutch of Indian Army and that they would communicate with few chosen Pak Army officers. The letters also reveal a detailed account on the methodology used by the militants, while infiltrating to India, including specific routes and the “launching camps”, the places from where the infiltration has been planned. The militants have specified five “launching camps” namely - Hassan Forward Kahuta, Nakiyal, Khoi Ratta, Samahni and Dhali Bagh. The letters have clearly instructed the militants to return to their launching camps, in case they had been sent to PoK for training.

According to a Times of India report, the Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA) will approach the Cabinet Committee on Security (CCS) after July 19 presidential poll for approval of the revised draft for National Counter Terrorism Centre (NCTC) that will be taken out of the ambit of the Intelligence Bureau (IB). The revised order, once issued, will also re-phrase certain 'words' used in the original notification regarding powers (arrest, search and seizures) given to the anti-terror body, clarifying that these powers including conduct of operations would be used only when there is an utmost urgency. According to the new plan, the NCTC will now be kept out of the ambit of the IB and will be an independent entity directly reporting to the MHA. "After the CCS approval late this month or early next month, a revised order will be issued to operationalize the NCTC," an official said.

In the first six months of this year [2012], Naxals [Left-Wing Extremists] have killed as many as 82 Security Force personnel, while losing only 48 of their cadres, reports The Indian Express. Naxal violence has claimed 244 lives in the first six months, including those of civilians who get dubbed as Police informers. The figure includes the recent deaths in the encounters that happened in Bijapur. The total number of deaths is only slightly better than in the same period last year [2011] when 301 people had lost their lives, according to the latest official data. And while Chhattisgarh remains the main battlefield, Naxal groups are enhancing their presence and influence in Odisha and Jharkhand, an official assessment says. The total number of casualties in Chhattisgarh, 211 in the first six months, has actually declined as compared to the same period last year, when it was 243, but both Jharkhand and Orissa saw more deaths.

The people of Barak Valley have strongly protested against the proposal to carve out 26 villages of Cachar District and add them to the proposed Dimaraji Territorial Council (DTC), reports The Times of India. A senior leader of the Cachar Bibhajan-Birodhi Manch, an organization that is fighting any attempt to divide Cachar District, said, "We have come to understand that at least 19 of the Cachar district villages proposed to be included in the DTC have only six per cent Dimasa population.” "We can't allow such a move to materialize. We will not allow the government to give away villages with a small Dimasa population to the Dimasa council area," he said. A number of organizations sent a memorandum to Union home minister P Chidambaram against the proposal. The memo sent to Chidambaram was signed by people from Bengali, Hmar, Naga, Manipuri and other non-Dimasa communities.

Train services were disrupted in the morning of July 12 after the Non-Bodo Suraksha Samiti staged a rail blockade at Baihata station under Rangiya sub-division of Kamrup District to protest against the demand for a separate Bodoland, among others. The Samiti submitted a memorandum to Governor J.B. Patnaik, through the local administration, that voiced their opposition to the alleged move to bifurcate Assam and sought the removal of villages with over 51 per cent non-Bodo population from the Bodoland Territorial Areas District (BTAD). It also wanted withdrawal of Sixth Schedule status accorded to the BTAD because it is located in the plains and not in the hills as “mandated” in the Constitution. Khorsan Ali, vice-president of the Samiti, said they had no option but to hit the streets because the non-Bodos had been deprived of all basic Government facilities, were victims of extortion and slowly but steadily Assamese was being replaced by Bodo language. “Under the prevailing circumstances, it is difficult to live in BTAD areas. Therefore, we should be excluded from it,” he said.

Zar, the source added, had asked his accomplices to buy Indian SIM cards from the Valley on fake identity cards and then sent them to the training camp in Karachi, where the 10 terrorists were preparing for the November 26, 2008 (26/11) attacks on Mumbai. The officials refused to give more details about Zar saying, "All we know so far is that he was an active Lashkar commander in J&K during 26/11. His job was limited to procuring SIM cards, so his name never figured in our earlier investigations," said the source. Earlier, Indian agencies had arrested four Police Officers in Jammu and Kashmir, including Mukhtar Ahmad Sheikh, who reportedly had connections with the LeT and had arranged 22 SIM cards, out of which a few had been used in 26/11. Sources say that Zar might have used Sheikh and others for procuring these cellphone connections. Agencies are investigating the link between Zar and Sheikh. Sheikh was arrested by agencies in December 2008. Sheikh, sources say, was working for police, but had joined LeT helping the organization in militancy activities in the Valley. The other three Police officers, who were found involved in illegal activities, were identified by agencies as Riyaz, Mukhtar and Ilyas.

The UMHA also asked the states to post senior police officers in the worst-affected areas. “Normally, the police station described as outpost is headed by an ASI or junior. We have asked these police stations to be headed by at least a Sub-Inspector,” said the UMHA official.

He told his interrogators that the United Jehad Council (UJC), an amalgam of terror groups that operates out of Muzaffarabad in Pakistan occupied Kashmir (PoK), was making elaborate plans to push fresh groups of terrorists into Jammu and Kashmir through non-traditional routes along the Line of Control (LoC). Jundal revealed that these groups were planning to enter Kashmir through Poonch and Rajouri in the Jammu region. These militants, as per the LeT plans, will then be sent to different parts of India where they will target places of worship and other crowded spots. "Peace in Kashmir has in particular upset the Lashkar. The Lashkar leadership has asked the UJC commander (Syed Salahuddin who also heads the Hizb-ul-Mujahideen) to pull up its socks," the source quoted Jundal as saying.

The Union Ministry of Home Affairs (UMHA) has asked the Naxal [Left-Wing Extremism (LWE)]-affected States and paramilitary forces to come up with standard operating procedures (SOPs) to avoid civilian casualties during operations against the Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist), reports The Indian Express. These SOPs should be drawn by the “field officers” who have the experience of handling such operations. The move comes days after 19 people were killed in Chhattisgarh’s Bijapur district during a joint operation of the Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF) and State Police. At a meeting on June 13, called by the Centre to discuss the issue, Director Generals of Police (DGPs) of nine Naxal-hit states and top CRPF officers discussed methods to tackle the problem of human shields used by Naxalites during the operations. During the meeting, the UMHA asked the States to provide training to fresh personnel deployed in their areas and a refresher course for the battalions which are already stationed to combat the Naxalites. It was also agreed during the meeting that for all night operations in the future, details regarding the place where such operations are being planned will be taken into account. All routes, locations and, if possible, the number of villagers present in the area should be taken into consideration. “It has been suggested that if there is any confusion among the forces, the operation should be delayed till day-break,” said an MHA official.

Security agencies have been put on high alert at Mughal Road, the link between Poonch and Srinagar, following specific inputs by the Intelligence and other agencies that the militants were planning to use it for infiltration from Kashmir valley to twin border Districts of Poonch and Rajouri. Official sources said the zone between Passana (ahead of Bafliaz, Surankote) to Peer Ki Gali dividing Poonch and Shopian Districts has been described as a very “sensitive zone’’ by the Intelligence agencies as it passed through dense forests, which could be utilized by the militants for taking shelter. "As the militants were running short of men and material in Poonch and Rajouri Districts in the absence of infiltration from across the Line of Control (LoC), their commanders have been sending desperate messages to Kashmir based militants to depute some of the cadre to the border districts using Mughal Road’’, they said, adding one of the message intercepted by the security agencies has confirmed that the militants could use Mughal Road to reach Surankote from Shopian and then head towards various hideouts. Sources said the inputs had been pouring in that the militants were planning to take advantage of heavy rush of visitors at Mughal Road to mix up with civilians and reach Surankote from Shopian on way to Poonch and Rajouri Districts. Sources added that very few militants were left in Poonch and Rajouri Districts in the absence of any fresh infiltration from PoK [Pakistan occupied Kashmir] due to strict surveillance maintained by Army on the LoC. "In the absence of infiltration, the militants were now sending feels to the commanders in the Kashmir valley to depute some of their cadre to Poonch and Rajouri districts using Mughal Road’’, sources further said.

Earlier, Intelligence agencies have briefed an inter-ministerial committee in Delhi in February 2012 about the entry of Dawood's aides into the industry and the potential security threat implications, said sources in the Directorate of Naval Intelligence. D-Company men smuggle contraband, arms and explosives with the participation of foreign agents during their ship dismantling operations, the report says. Dawood's men use money laundering to fund the deals and many end-of-life vessels that arrive at the ship breaking yards in Gujarat simply disappear from anchorage after a short while.

Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist) leader Kobad Ghandy was charged with membership of a terrorist organisation under the Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act (UAPA) on July 16, reports The Hindu. He pleaded not guilty and sought trial which will now begin on September 4. Additional Sessions Judge Pawan Kumar Jain had on March 28 said that UAPA Sections 20 and 38 relating to membership of a terror organisation were made out against Ghandy. However, he refused to frame charges on these counts pointing out that the prosecution sanction that was taken was defective. The court ruled that the police had violated Section 45(2) of the UAPA by not submitting the charge sheet to an independent authority constituted by the Central or State Government, which after vetting the documents was to recommend the sanctioning authority (Lieutenant-Governor) to grant sanction for prosecution. Jain had on that occasion discharged Kobad Ghandy for the offences punishable under Section 10/13/18/20/38 of UAPA pointing out that no case was made out against the accused qua these sections. The Delhi Police on March 30 filed a supplementary charge sheet with fresh prosecution sanction following which arguments on charge were taken up again. The defence did not contest the charges of cheating, impersonation and forgery under the Indian Penal Code that were framed on March 28.

He was preferred over Sajjad who was to replace Rehman Bhai for his foreign origin. Mohammad Qasim is believed to be operating in the Chadoora area of Budgam and Pulwama and Pampore areas where security presence is thin. Another LeT ‘commander’ who is being hunted is Bilal Ahmad Bhat of Lalhar in Pulwama District. Bilal, though being very young is thought to be more active and as per security agencies more ruthless and daring. He was lured into LeT by Rehman Bhai. He is a local trained militant and has worked with Rehman Bhai and is thought to have learned the operational skills from him. Security agencies have inputs that Bhat is mostly operating in the outskirts of Srinagar city in Nowgam area to Pulwama town outskirts as this area has least presence of SFs.

Rejecting reports about sudden spurt in so called ‘successful’ infiltration by militants from Pakistan-occupied Kashmir (PoK), Defence authorities in Jammu and Kashmir on July 16 said the counter infiltration grid is on high alert and working properly, according to Daily Excelsior. "We do not have any information that 70 militants had managed to enter Jammu and Kashmir since May this year," Defence ministry spokesman Lieutenant Colonel J S Brar said. He said there were a few attempts by militants to cross into this side after snow started melting on higher reaches, particularly infiltration routes, but alert troops guarding the Line of Control (LoC) foiled their attempts and neutralised the infiltrators. "We have a counter infiltration grid working, which is often reviewing the strategy to foil any such attempt," Brar said adding "even during the winter months, when there was heavy snowfall, we did not lower our guard". He said besides night and foot patrolling, troops are also keeping a close vigil on the borders with sophisticated equipment.

Senior Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist) leader Arnab Dam alias Bikram was arrested at the Biramdih railway station in Purulia District late in the night of July 16, reports The Hindu. An AK-47 rifle, some rounds of ammunition and some Maoist literature were recovered from him. He was produced in a District court and remanded in Police custody for seven days. Senior Police officers said the arrest of Bikram, a State Committee member and secretary of the Bihar Jharkhand Odisha Border Regional Committee of the CPI-Maoist, was the biggest achievement of the joint security forces after the elimination of Polit Bureau member Koteswara Rao alias Kishanji in a November 2011 encounter in West Midnapore District. 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.

General Officer Commanding of Srinagar-based 15 Corps Lieutenant General Om Prakash on July 17 said that militants are planning suicide attacks on Security Forces (SFs), according to Daily Excelsior. Referring to the July 7, 2012, Pampore (Pulwama District) attack, in which an Army trooper was killed and another injured, he stated, "It is an alarming situation. The intelligence reports suggest that they were two Fidayeen (suicide squad) who carried out the attack on the Army in Pampore. Intelligence agencies, as recently as a week ago, have reported that militants are planning to carry out Fidayeen attacks and snatch the weapon of security forces," said the General. In another context he said that normally militancy in North Kashmir is higher than South Kashmir due to infiltration through the Line of Control (LoC), support base and huge forest area. "But of late there have been two attacks on police, one on army in Pampore, two grenade attacks and threatening posters against Panches and Sarpanches which suggest that they are targeting South Kashmir now", he added. The General said that due to slower pace of operations and reduced presence of SFs in South Kashmir they occupied the space and are operating there.

The GOC said that Lashkar-e-Toiba (LeT) is making local recruitments in Kashmir to strengthen their depleting cadres. He said that due to the strengthening of counter-infiltration grid over the years infiltration has become very difficult for them. "And another reason for this is that they want to give indigenous face to the militancy as at international level when a Pakistani militant is killed in Kashmir it makes clear that Pakistan is fighting here", he added. The GOC said that terror infrastructure in Pakistan and Pakistan occupied Kashmir (PoK) is intact to support terrorism in Jammu and Kashmir. He said that around 550-600 militants are waiting at various launch pads near the LoC in PoK to infiltrate into the valley. "They are looking for chances to infiltrate and attempts are being made which we have foiled. However, we cannot guarantee zero infiltration but we will be able to counter their designs," he said. The GOC said that after the continuous strengthening of counter-infiltration grid along the LoC and operations across the Valley only 280-300 militants have been left. He said that bringing down the number of militants operating in Kashmir valley was due to sustained efforts by SFs. While comparing the level of militants with the year 2000, he said that in that year 2000 militants were killed by SFs in Kashmir.

Asserting that militancy has almost been wiped out from Jammu region, Inspector General of Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF) G J Singh on July 18 said there are only 10-15 militants present in the Jammu region. "Militancy has almost been wiped out from Jammu region but 10 to 15 militants are still active in twin border districts of Rajouri and Poonch. Security forces are at their job to deal with them," he told reporters. Singh, however, said that 50 to 60 militants have been moved in launch pads close to the Line of Control (LoC) in Pakistan occupied Kashmir (PoK), who were desperate to infiltrate into the state. They have been moved to launching pads to infiltrate them into this side of the border for militancy, he said. "They will certainly try to infiltrate but we have a multi-grid security apparatus in place. We are fully alert to the situation," he added. To a specific query about recent attacks in Srinagar city from where the State Government had recently removed bunkers of the Security Forces, including CRPF, Singh described it as a policy decision. "It is a policy decision but the situation can be reviewed and if needed the bunkers can be rebuilt," he said.

The Sarpanch (head of Gram Panchayat, village level local self government institution) association of Korchi tehsil (revenue unit) in Gadchiroli District decided to observe a day-long hunger strike on July 28 (today) protesting District administration's alleged neglect of developmental issues, reports The Times of India. On July 25, the village headmen association and other organizations are to observe 'chakka jaam' (transport strike) in a follow up action. District collector, Gadchiroli, Abhishek Krishna said that the officials were available at his office where the village headmen can come for a meeting anytime. "Out of 23 demands we have come to know about, 14 have already been met and while on others work is underway. There are a few which are not in our hands but we have sent them to higher ups for resolution," said Krishna. He said there is no question of mining in the area as the district administration had sent proposal for cancellation of prospective licence. "Last year, around Rs 12 crore were spent in Korchi. Around Rs 7 crore were spent through the gram panchayat where sarpanchs handled the projects. Neglect of development is a baseless allegation," said Krishna adding that district administration was also trying to ensure a bank is opened at Kotgul in Korchi tehsil.

Children are migrating from Jharkhand's Lohardaga region to avoid being abducted and coercively recruited by Maoists. "Maoists ask us to get involve with them and force us to take up arms," Dinesh Nageshiya, a student, claimed. Interacting with media persons, Sub-Divisional Police Officer Ram Gulam Sharma said that social policing has helped them to keep a track of Maoists who forcibly recruit children for armed conflict. "The Maoists always target the children belonging to poor and illiterate backgrounds. Through police-public cooperation, we conduct policing and this has created a huge impact on the locals as the children are not ready to join the Maoist camps and they have developed their interest in studies," said Sharma.

India wants a global Arms Trade Treaty (ATT) to be decided by consensus with all "stakeholders", where the big players in weapons trade like the US and China sharing obligations to prevent illicit trafficking of arms to terrorist groups, as reported on July 20, by The Times of India. This unregulated global trade in weapons is not only huge, some figures suggest USD 2.2 billion worth of weapons made their way to countries under arms embargo in the last decade, but, also contributes enormously to enhancing the lethal power of terrorist groups and organized crime syndicates. As discussions for a treaty at the UN enter its final week — the treaty is being discussed at a special session from July 2-27, sources said India wants arms brokers to be included in the purview of the ATT, but want to keep ammunition out of the pact. The Indian stand on the issue is closer to the US, although, like China, New Delhi too wants to keep subjective aspects like human rights outside the treaty's ambit. On the scope of the treaty, India has proposed a seven-plus-one list of weapons, including, battle tanks, armed combat vehicles, large calibre artillery systems, combat aircraft, attack helicopters, warships, missiles and missile launchers and small arms and light weaponry. Of these, it would be easier to get a consensus on most since all of them don't make to organized crime networks. The difficulty will be including the last item in the treaty. India is clear that it wants arms brokering to be covered by the treaty because it is closely related to transfer of illicit weapons. As one of the largest weapons importers in the world, India says it is willing to accept obligations to regulate weapons imports, but there should be a balance of obligations among exporters. India, though, is clearly being ambitious because it fancies itself becoming an exporter in future.

We presume that the target might have been the July 21 rally, since it was the only big event in recent times. Had there been a blast, it would have been disastrous. It seems that Haroon, along with some other IM operatives, was about to assemble an improvised explosive device (IED), but was arrested before their mission was completed”.

Project Karachi was set up by ISI in collaboration with LeT, which makes use of Indian operatives trained in Pakistan to execute bomb blasts in Indian cities. It has two functions. To indoctrinate Indian youth into jihad and have them work for LeT, and consequently ISI train and induct them to carry out attacks in the Indian cities. "The scheme is funded by ISI and Gulf investments," said a source. Sources say that Indian agencies needed someone like Jundal, a high-ranking Indian national in LeT, to reveal details and provide inputs about its latest targets. Some prominent members of the Indian Mujahideen (IM) believed to be in Pakistan and the names of those who have cropped up in Jundal's interrogation include Riyaz and Iqbal Bhatkal, Aslam Kashmiri, Fayaz Kagzi and Aakif. The information that Jundal provided his interrogators confirms that Indian nationals are being sheltered by Pakistan and being used against India. The interrogation has also confirmed that the Bhatkal brothers are the link between IM and LeT, which made David Coleman Headley come to India on several occasions between 2006 and 2008 to conduct reconnaissance of vulnerable and potential targets.

Fake Indian Currency Note (FICN) pile is rising fast in the country, as reported on July 22, by The Hindustan Times. The Reserve Bank of India (RBI) detected counterfeit notes worth INR 24.7 crore in 2011-12, a more than five-fold jump in value in the past five years. The central bank received INR 5.21 lakh FICN from banks in 2011-12 as compared to INR 1.95 lakh in 2007-08. In 1996, the year RBI started collecting fake currency, only 11,533 notes were detected. The steep rise in the total value of FICN in the past five years was mainly because of the increase in circulation of counterfeit notes of INR 500 and INR 1,000 denominations, according to data provided by the bank in reply to an RTI application.

Security Forces (SFs) recovered a huge cache of arms and ammunition, including two rocket launchers from Sadiya subdivision of Tinsukia District, which is considered the hotbed of Maoist activities in Upper Assam in the night of July 22, reports The Telegraph. Two German-made powerful rocket launchers, one US-made M-16 rifle, nearly 10 empty magazines of various guns, like .303 rifles and .9mm pistol, were recovered from the site. Tinsukia Superintendent of Police (SP) P.P. Singh said the arms were kept buried in a jungle near the village cremation ground. The SP claimed that the arms belonged to Maoists, as there were intelligence reports of arms being stocked by the Left-wing militants in the area. He said search operations were on, with no arrests made so far. Police sources said the recovery was the outcome of tight vigil and interrogation of arrested Maoist militants and sympathisers across the State. The recovery comes just two months after four Maoist cadres, including a senior leader, were killed in an encounter with the Police in Sadiya. Sources said Maoists, with the help from other banned outfits of the northeastern region, were trying to build a strong base along the Assam-Arunachal border.

The handler of the November 26, 2008 (26/11) Mumbai terrorist attacks and Lashkar-e-Toiba (LeT) operative Syed Zabiuddin Ansari alias Abu Jundal on July 19, revealed that Yasin Bhatkal, one of the most wanted terrorists in the country and ‘chief’ of the Indian Mujahideen (IM), is now hiding in Bangladesh with the support of ISI, according to The Asian Age. Jundal has also provided details of emails and chat sites through which he was communicating with Bhatkal on a regular basis. Indian agencies suspect that Bhatkal is constantly changing his location in Dhaka and Chittagong where ISI operatives are helping him with logistics. Jundal also told interrogators that IM founder Riyaz and Iqbal Bhatkal, who are now in Karachi (Pakistan), had directed Jundal to be in touch with Yasin for all anti-India operations.

The interrogation of Abu Jundal, by the Delhi Police's special cell and central agencies has shown that the 26/11 suspects operated out of several countries, as reported on July 23, by The Times of India. The Police believe that the conspiracy was meticulously executed in Pakistan, the US, Italy, Spain and Thailand (along with France and Sri Lanka, as reported earlier). Still, the investigators are taking Jundal's account with a pinch of salt. A source said his information about the international nature of the operation had loopholes. “It is pertinent to note that the LeT carried out this operation in a planned manner, but not all its members may have known about the entire conspiracy. Nevertheless, whatever information we have got so far from Jundal indicates the involvement of suspects from various countries," said a source in the security establishment.

Banned extremist groups pose as charities to rake in millions of rupees that fund terrorism instead of helping the poor, charity activists say.

The security agencies are contemplating to set up few new camps in South Kashmir to put pressure on the militants operating in the area, mostly the Lashkar-e-Toiba (LeT), who of late have become more active in the area, according to Daily Excelsior. Sources said that in a recent security review meeting for the South Kashmir it was suggested that few security camps will be set up in a couple of areas where the security presence is less giving chance to militants to re-group. One of such camps is proposed in the outskirts of Srinagar on the border between Pulwama and Budgam Districts where the security agencies felt that militants are making much movement, sources said. It may be mentioned here that the security presence in various areas of South Kashmir and Central Kashmir was reduced over the years following decrease in the number of militants and militancy incidents. Security agencies admitted that over the years Security Forces focused on North Kashmir where there are more militants than South Kashmir but militants chose South Kashmir where security forces had decreased their presence following relative calm in the area. Security agencies data revealed that there are 25 LeT militants operating in South Kashmir Police Districts of Pulwama, Shopian, Awantipora and Anantnag while there are 62 LeT militants operating in Bandipora, Sopore, Baramulla, Handwara and Kupwara Police Districts. However, the number militants in North Kashmir increased with every successful infiltration attempt and in 2012 as per security agencies around 10-15 militants managed to infiltrate into North Kashmir.

Fake Indian Currency Note (FICN) of INR 100 notes are back in circulation in the market, which is already inundated with INR 500 and INR 1000 FICN, as reported on July 23, by IBN Live. According to sources, “The latest fake Rs 100 note is so good that it is not possible to identify them. With the security features of Indian notes very weak, especially the paper quality and the fibre optics, it is very easy to replicate them…..every year, more than Rs 2,500 crore worth FICN is pumped into India. This year, between the months of January-March, Rs 300-400 crore has already been pushed into India. Usually every month, Rs 200-250 crore is sent through a network of couriers”. Large amounts of FICN concealed in ship containers came to India through Sri Lanka, Bangladesh and Nepal from both Pakistan and Dubai. Denying intelligence reports that FICN was printed only in Dubai, counterfeiting sources said that even today 50 per cent of FICN are coming from Pakistan and not just Dubai. Without the support of Hawala (illegal money transfer) transactors, drug peddlers, underworld dons and some ‘groups’ of people, it is not possible to introduce fake note in the market.

India plans to spend INR 94 billion on converting more roads into highways in parts of the country affected by Left Wing Extremism [LWE], continuing with its plan to link these regions to the mainstream Indian economy, although the first phase of the project hasn’t gone according to script, reports Live Mint. The plan involves converting 5,624km of roads in eight states into two-lane highways as part of the government’s attempt to tackle the Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist). It is part of the proposed second phase of the road requirement plan (RRP-2), and will cover 34 Districts in eight States that include Jharkhand, Chhattisgarh, Andhra Pradesh, Madhya Pradesh, Bihar, Odisha, West Bengal and Maharashtra. “We have circulated a note for the second phase to the Planning Commission and finance ministry, among others, for discussions. The second phase can start simultaneously when the first phase is on. It doesn’t await the completion of the first phase,” a roads ministry official said on condition of anonymity.

Jundal claimed that LeT wanted to carry out a major suicide attack on the Nashik Police academy. The LeT had set up its modules in Maharashtra, Uttar Pradesh and south India, as reported on July 23, by Rediff News. Acting on the information provided by Jundal, security agencies have already started a major operation to fish out those operatives who form these modules. He added that LeT was planning to revamp its Indian agency, IM, but admitted he had never met the Bhatkal brothers. He has said that the IM is directionless and there is too much emphasis on its operatives in India. The IM was setting up modules in India with the help of its Saudi Arabian modules, said Jundal, adding that he had played a crucial role in the IM's operations as he believed in having a strong home grown outfit. Regarding Dawood Ibrahim, he said that the ISI deals with the operations of the ‘D Gang’ and keeps it separate from those of the LeT.

Jundal has further admitted that he taught Hindi to Ajmal Amir Kasab and the nine other terrorists who launched the26/11 attacks. The Mumbai crime branch, which has deputed six officers to question Jundal, is now interrogating him on the involvement of state players (ISI and Pakistani army regulars) in the attack. Sources confirmed that he had revealed the whereabouts of his associate Zulfikar Fayyaz Kagzi, another terror operative from Maharashtra. Abu Jundal had apparently received similar training as Ajmal Amir Kasab, reports dnaindia.com. In addition to mastering several languages, the duo had received similar terror education, which required them to pass through at least four levels of rigorous psychological and physical tests. The training includes the Daura-e-Aam (basic combat) and Daura-e-Khaas (advanced training).

Jundal underwent terror training twice," said Kaushik, contradicting the Delhi Police special cell's claim that he never underwent training as he was suffering from back pain. Abu Jundal may help the Mumbai Police crime branch unravel the role of ‘local operatives’ whose role in 26/11 attack has been suspected for long. Jundal’s disclosures will either put to rest, or re-kindle, the probe into the role of Indian operatives in 26/11 attacks, a senior crime branch official told on July 22

National Socialist Council of Nagaland-Khaplang (NSCN-K) on July 23 claimed that NSCN-Khole-Kitovi’s demand for settlement within the confines of present Nagaland State was no Naga national issue but a mere rehabilitation “for desperate goons and criminals attempting to sabotage and betray the historical and political legacies of the Nagas that has been paid in blood and tears.” Asserting when the two “mighty nations”, India and Myanmar, have acknowledged the genuineness of Naga issue as political issue, NSCN-K, in a statement, said it was a “complete mockery” that NSCN-Khole-Kitovi validated 16-point memorandum “which forcefully dissected Nagas into splinters.” Naga political issue, NSCN-K said was above any groups or territorial demarcation, adding that the issue encompassed “every ancestral Naga territory spread across India and Myanmar.”

Hence, all the vulnerable points along the eastern border will be plugged by relocating camps. There is a good supply of arms and ammunition needed for fighting the militants,” the source added.

Jundal has confirmed the presence of Fayyaz Kagzi in Jeddah (Saudi Arabia) and said Indian LeT recruits like Masood Azhar, Ijaz Sheikh, Lal Baba, Aslam Kashmiri and July 13, 2011 (13/7) attack accused Attarur Rehman Rahil Sheikh were being given shelter in Karachi (Pakistan). He also knew Khaja alias Amjad (arrested in 2010), late Hyderabad jihadist Shahid Bilal and incarcerated Riyazuddin Nasir. He has identified LeT as the group responsible for December 28, 2005 IISc attack in Bangalore and January 1, 2008 strike at Rampur CRPF camp. Jundal has pin-pointed locations of residences of those present in the 26/11 control room with detailed description on LeT’s Muridke headquarters near Lahore.

Jundal has told the Police that he was taken into the core group of LeT founder and Jama'at-ud-Dawa (JuD) chief Hafeez Mohammad Saeed in August 2008, four months before the attack. He said initially around two dozen youths, including a few Indians, were given the Daura khas and Daura aam trainings, but Lakhvi reduced the number to 10. It was also reportedly planned to send one or two Indians among the 10, as they would find it easier to mingle with the crowd. The decision was dropped as they feared that if the Indians were arrested, they would spill the Pakistan connection, Jundal told cops. He said the attack was not supposed to be in November but during Ramzan in September, when most Muslims would have been indoors, but a choppy sea made them change the plan

on July 25, 2012, Mijarul Quayes, Foreign Secretary of Bangladesh said that India has never raised the issue of illegal infiltration from his country with Dhaka, reports The Sentinel. He commented, “…of course, there is a whole lot of traffic between Bangladesh and India, people coming and going to either side. But we do not have any credible basis to think that there is an influx. Now, I say this because the issue as raised is an over-simplification and I think that if there are political dimensions in a domestic sense, I would not be able to comment on that. But I think what is important is, between Bangladesh and India, that when you sit down to talk, it is not an issue that has been raised by the Indian Government. Therefore, we would assume that they are also quite satisfied that it is an issue that does not need to be talked about…”

The handler of the November 26, 2008 (26/11) Mumbai terrorist attacks and Lashkar-e-Toiba (LeT) operative, Abu Jundal has confirmed that the voice in the terror tapes is his, sources in the Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA) told Hindustan Times on July 25. Jundal identified the voice when the tapes were played out to him. “We have sent the terror tapes and samples of his voice to a laboratory in Chandigarh,” a source told HT. “The forensic report will help establish Pakistan’s complicity and serve as crucial evidence in a court of law.” Jundal has told the Police it was his idea to give fake college identity cards (ID) to the ten 26 /11 terrorists, as reported on July 26, by The Times of India. The idea was to enable the Pakistani terrorists to mingle with locals in Mumbai without arousing suspicion. During his interrogation by the crime branch, Jundal said he, along with Abu Kahafa (one of the handlers of the terrorists), used a computer to make the IDs, the institutes being the Hyderabad and Bangalore branches of Arunodaya Degree College, which are genuine. Thus, Ajmal Kasab became Sameer C h a u d h r y (B a n g a l o r e branch) and Ismail Dara, who was with him at CST, Cama Hospital and Metro cinema, became Naraish Verma (Hyderabad branch). "Jundal told the crime branch that he also gave the idea to Kahafa and Zakiur Rahman Lakhvi (another handler) that the ten terrorists should be given coloured wrist threads to misled the police into believing that they were Hindus”, said a Police officer .

, Army has taken a firm decision of not allowing any militant, whether alone or along with family including wife and children from across the Line of Control (LoC) through any unauthorized route on the ground that their return without following the proper procedure could pose a "grave security threat’’. Official sources told Army has issued clear cut directions to the field commanders posted along the LoC not to allow any militant along with family members to enter into Indian side from any unauthorized route. Sources further said the Army wouldn’t allow any militant, even if his family had applied here for his return from Pakistan occupied Kashmir (PoK) under Rehabilitation Policy, to enter from any unauthorized route from the LoC. "The Government has fixed four routes for return of the militants of Jammu and Kashmir from Pakistan or Pakistan occupied Kashmir (PoK) under the Rehabilitation Policy. The militants can return from these routes but surely they won’t be allowed to come from any unauthorized route’’, they added. However, out of over 100 militants, who have returned to the state from Pakistan or PoK after the Rehabilitation Policy, none had taken authorized routes. Majority of them had flown out from Pakistan to Kathmandu in Nepal and then entered into Uttar Pradesh on way to Jammu and Kashmir.

State Chief Minister Tarun Gogoi said that tussle over land between Bodos and non-Bodos is the main reason behind the clashes, reports Times of India. Gogoi further said Muslims in Bodoland are Indian citizens and not Bangladeshis. Gogoi further assured that the non-tribal people in the Bodoland Territorial Autonomous District (BTAD) tribal belt who have been displaced and are staying in relief camps will not lose the land they have left behind. The Telegraph adds that CM Tarun Gogoi described the turmoil in the Bodo belt to the feeling of deprivation among all sections and prescribed economic development as the only cure. The chief minister blamed a “third” force for spreading rumours, which resulted in more people flocking to relief camps than in the previous riots that had seen more devastation and deaths. He pointed out that 113, 198, 186, 98, 106 and 64 persons were killed in the riots of 1994, 1996, 1998, 2004, 2005 and 2008 respectively.

The Supreme Court (SC) on July 27, refused to interfere with the Andhra Pradesh High Court order granting bail to the alleged top Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist) leader Kobad Ghandy in a 2005 case of murder of nine persons including a senior Congress leader, reported IBN Live. "Our order will be meaningless. The entire exercise will end in futile," said a bench of Justice B S Chauhan and Justice Swatanter Kumar, pointing out that Ghandy's status will remain same as he is in Tihar Jail for the cases registered in the Capital against him. The bench said Andhra Pradesh government's plea against the High Court's order could be heard later if Ghandy is granted bail in cases registered by the Delhi Police. "We will keep your appeal pending," the bench told senior advocate Mahabir Singh, who, appearing for the Andhra Pradesh Government, sought cancellation of bail to Ghandy. The apex court had on January 27 stayed the Andhra Pradesh High Court order, which had granted bail to Ghandy, accused of killing the erstwhile Deputy Assembly Speaker Narsi Reddy and eight others on August 15, 2005. While staying the bail order, the apex court had issued notices to Ghandy who is at present lodged in Delhi's Tihar Jail. The alleged Maoist leader, who has been in jail since 2009 after his arrest, is facing trial in around 20 criminal and terror cases in different parts of the country. Congress leader Chittem Narsi Reddy and eight others were killed by Maoists in Narayanpet in Mahbubnagar District on August 15, 2005. The High Court had granted bail to Ghandy on August 10, 2011. The State Government had claimed Ghandy had confessed to his role in a statement made after his arrest in Delhi in 2009.

According to him, the Pakistani government, in turn, is getting passports made for the Kashmiri youths willing to return. They are sent to Nepal, where Pakistani agents destroy their passports and facilitate their travel to Gorakhpur (Uttar Pradesh), Delhi and then to Jammu and Kashmir. They come through this illegal route to Jammu and Kashmir to avail the return and rehabilitation policy. "We cannot identify them as they get intermingled," the officials noted. "This is illegal way of returning but we hardly have means to check this," observed the official. The government has no method to check the credentials or intentions of people coming to state from Nepal route. Many of them have married Pakistani women and have children as well.

Authorities on July 28 found a 400-meters long tunnel, running between India and Pakistan, along the International Border in Samba District of Jammu and Kashmir, according to Rediff. "We have discovered a tunnel running between Pakistan and India in Samba District," Senior Superintendent of Police (SSP, Samba) Israr Khan said. The tunnel was detected after an area caved-in at two or three places due to rains near the Border Security Force's Chillayari Border out Post (BoP), he added. "After the cave-in, the area was dug out to know the reason. But, the authorities were surprised to find a tunnel," the SSP said. The tunnel, with a dimension of 3x3-feet, was running between Chillayari BoP and Pakistan's Numberiyal BoP, he said. Dug at a depth of 25-feet below the ground level, it was 400-metres long on the Indian side, the SSP said adding, "We are confirming whether the tunnel is operational or not." The tunnel, which seemed to be freshly constructed, had air supply through a 2-inch pipe, he said adding “we are looking into all aspects”. "Since it is difficult to push in terrorists to the Indian side, they decided to set up a tunnel to facilitate infiltration," the SSP said.

Based on intelligence inputs the West Bengal Police have warned Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee and some of her party colleagues against moving in the Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist) areas, particularly at night, anticipating that they might become soft targets for Maoists, as reported on July 29 in Deccan Herald. “In the last few days we have seen, whether it be Odisha or Chhattisgarh, the Maoists have changed their style of operation. They are kidnapping some important persons and holding them to ransom. In this way they have freed some of their senior members from the jail,” an unnamed senior intelligence officer said. “As the Maoists have been cornered in West Bengal, particularly after the killing of Kishenji and the arrest of Vikram—a top Maoist leader who was arrested in Purulia district a few days before—they might replicate the Odisha-Chhattisgarh model in Bengal,” the officer said. “We have specific intelligence input that Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee, All India Trinamool Congress general secretary Mukul Roy, Panchayat Minister Subrata Mukherjee and MP Subhendu Adhikary are under their scanner,” he added.

Pakistan's "non-cooperation" was the only road block in return of the Kashmiri youths who were stranded in training camps in Pakistan occupied Kashmir or were living outside of it in miserable conditions, officials said, Twocircles.net reported on July 28. "The State Government has received 1,054 applications for return of such youths (from Pakistan occupied Kashmir)," an unnamed official said. About 550 cases have been cleared by India but "Pakistan is not cooperating and taking things forward," the official added. “The credentials of the person willing to come have to be checked by police, security, intelligence and other agencies. It then goes to ministry of home affairs (MHA), which after making checks forwards it to the ministry of external Affairs (MEA), which then finally takes it up with Pakistan government," the official said. "Pakistan will be obviously non-cooperative in this case as acceptance of this policy will amount to accepting that Pakistan is running these training camps where Kashmiri youths are being trained (as militants)," another official told IANS. "The delaying tactics by Pakistan is the only road block in the return of the Kashmiri youths who are stranded in training camps...or are living outside in miserable condition," the official added.

The use of children as informers and messengers by Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist) is one of the major areas of concern as it is a violation of human rights, said Meenakshi Ganguly, the south Asia director of Human Rights Watch (HRW), as reported on July 28 in Zee News. Extensively travelling in the Naxal affected areas and speaking to dozens of local activists, lawyers and journalists, Ganguly told PTI that she believed the situation was quite serious for children living in these parts of the country. "It is very serious. The Maoists use children, they recruit children...Their argument is that they indoctrinate children and then use them in combats after they are sixteen", Ganguly said. "We believe children who are used as informers and messengers or carriers, porters are being used in combat. We oppose that", she said. After her organisation had reported it, Ganguly said, "the Maoists printed a retaliation of our claims saying that children were interested in their own future so they want to join the fight". "They felt the need to try and give their side of the story, but as far as we are concerned they are recruiting children which is a human rights violation," she said.

Deputy Inspector General of Border Security Force (Jammu Frontiers) NS Jamwal said on July 29 that the trench smacked of a "new way of infiltration", Zee News reported "This is a new way of infiltration," Jamwal said. Jamwal said the use of oxygen pipes inside the tunnel indicated that the tunnel had been dug with "proper planning and in a sophisticated way." "As the militants had been unable to enter into this side through the border even by cutting fencing, a new technique has been used from across the border by digging underground tunnel to facilitate infiltration of militants," he said, adding exit of the tunnel has not been detected so far. "The tunnel was part of a very deliberate attempt, executed through proper planning including the use of oxygen," Jamwal said, adding "it was yet to be ascertained as to how long the tunnel had gone into Pakistan"."We would complete our task of detecting exact length of tunnel including its exit route," he added.

They feared that Indian intelligence agencies would try and plot to hit the control room as it would have slowed down the ongoing operation in Mumbai,” Jundal allegedly said to the interrogators.

Contrary to the belief that Jundal was first introduced by Aslam Kashmiri, a LeT operative, Jundal revealed to the crime branch that he met another LeT operative (name withheld by crime branch) in Aurangabad months before meet Kashmiri, reports Hindustan Times on July 28. The Abu Jundal extensive stay in Pakistan and his knowledge of wanted Indian operatives like the Bhatkal brothers and Amir Raza Khan, has made him a prized possession for agencies who are trying to work out LeT and old Harkat-ul-Jihad-al-Islami (Huji) complex network across the country, quotes, Times of India some of the top police sources on July 29. Agencies have now narrowed down to Sheikh Abdul Khwaja alias Amjad, a Huji/ LeT operative whom the Research and Analysis Wing (RAW) had picked up from Sri Lanka in January 2010. The Maharashtra anti-terrorism squad (ATS) could be among the key agencies likely to question Khwaja. Apart from Pakistan, agencies may also unravel the LeT's links in Saudi Arabia, Sri Lanka and Bangladesh, countries which both Jundal and Khwaja have visited, and have common links too, added police sources. As reported earlier, Jundal was arrested on June 21, 2012, by Delhi Police at New Delhi's Indira Gandhi International Airport after being deported from Saudi Arabia.

The Border Security Force (BSF) would be approaching Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) to measure length of the tunnel, constructed by Pakistan about 280 meters deep into Indian Territory in forward village of Chechwal in Rajpura area along the International Border (IB) in Samba sector and find out more such tunnels on IB, according to Daily Excelsior. The BSF would also be seeking help of seismic experts to trace route of the tunnel including its opening and exit points. Referring to the tunnel at Chechwal, which was spotted by a villager in the evening of July 27, BSF Inspector General (Headquarters) SK Mishra directly blamed Pakistan for construction of the tunnel to facilitate infiltration of militants and smuggling of narcotics into Jammu and Kashmir from across the border. "There is a Pakistan hand in the tunnel, which appeared to have been constructed from across the IB into Indian territory under the cover of firing’’, the IG BSF said, adding, "The purpose (of digging a tunnel into India from Pakistan) is known to everyone - to infiltrate and conduct smuggling from there." "We have also sought the help of experts from Army and Geological Survey of India (GSI) to find out exact length, depth, exit and opening of the tunnel, which had definitely been dug from Pakistan side’’, Mishra said. He said the seismic experts of GSI were also being requested to find out outing of the tunnel, which has not been detected so far. "There could be a network of tunnels on the International Border. That is why the BSF has decided to approach the ISRO to find out length of the tunnel that has been exposed and other tunnels, if any, using satellite imagery’’, Mishra said. As reported earlier, authorities on July 28 found a 400-meters long tunnel, running between India and Pakistan, along the International Border in Samba District of Jammu and Kashmir

The Police and the civil officials have practically stopped from visiting villages to implement development and welfare schemes, as well as attending to people's grievances in Gadchiroli District due to fear of the Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist), IBN Live on July 31 reported. Panchayat Samiti (block level local self-Government institution) officials frankly admitted that there is always a threat to their lives due to Maoists presence, while Police officers said that they cannot move in Maoist-affected areas without following the Standard Operating Procedure (SOP). In many cases it has been found that the Police do not reach even murder spots or remote areas where other serious crimes have occurred. Often, victims' relatives themselves are forced to carry corpses or material evidence to Police Stations. Police officials feel that the Maoists might attack them if they rush to locations without following SOP. Similarly, civil authorities too do not visit the remote areas due to fear of Maoists, though they avail of all additional incentives given by the Government for serving in Maoist-affected villages.

UHM hinting role of illegal immigrants, described the porous Indo-Bangladesh border as a “difficult” border, which was “complex” to manage. “Assam is perhaps the most complex state to govern in this country. We have the Assamese population, we have a number of tribes, we have people who have migrated from other states and we also have a problem, which is undeniable — of people who have illegally entered Assam. That’s why it is a complex state to administer.”UHM Chidambaram also claimed that influx has come down sharply over the last few years. Chidambaram further said, “I am not saying nobody comes. However, we are acutely aware what we have to do. We need more BoPs [Border Outposts], more roads. We have firmed up the border guarding plans and the execution of that need to be speeded-up”. Denying intelligence failure, Chidambaram said the violence was sparked off by two incidents — one on July 6 and the other on July 19. “The two trigger incidents took place openly. But no one expected the conflagration would spread within two/three days. There was not enough police force to contain it quickly. Once the forces came, they managed to control it.”

a day after the arrest of the GNLA ‘chairman’ Champion Sangma, the State Police on July 31 said the next target would be the ‘Commader-in-Chief’ of the proscribed outfit Sohan D Shira. The State Director General of Police (DGP) N Ramachandran said, “Sohan D Shira who is the military strategist of the outfit has to be arrested to neutralize the GNLA.” According to Ramchandran, Champion Sangma was looking after the political activities of the outfit, while Sohan D Shira was the head of its armed wing. The DGP said the arrest of Champion is a very significant development and it will help police to neutralise the outfit which has unleashed a reign of terror in Garo Hills. Champion, whose outfit is fighting for a separate Garoland, was arrested from Umkrem, Pyrwdiwah area in East Khasi Hills District, about 80 kilometers from Shillong, on July 30, after he was, reportedly, pushed back by Bangladeshi authorities across the boundary.

ex-Bodo Liberation Tiger Welfare Society (Ex-BLTWS) set three conditions for resettling the displaced people in their respective villages. Ex-BLTWS ‘president’ Jana Mohan Mashahary said, “The government must update the National Register of Citizens (NRC) before beginning the resettlement of people. The names of the people who will be resettled must be included in the voters’ list of 1971 and they must possess myadi land patta. This is necessary to check influx of illegal immigrants.” He also expressed apprehension that the number of immigrant camp inmates could increase once the process of resettlement starts. Mashahary also said that the newly-formed Islamic militant outfit United Muslim Nationalist Army (UMNA), which declared an armed movement on June 15, 2012, to liberate Muslim land in 13 Districts of Assam, could be involved in the violence in Kokrajhar, Chirang and Dhubri districts. “The UMNA has also been collecting taxes from people for raising fund for the outfit. The outfit plans to carry out their armed movement from Kokrajhar to Golaghat and the Bodo people are now their target,” said Mashahary. Mashahary added, “The UMNA is headed by Ramjan Islam.

Nagaland Post reports that former Union Home Minister P. Chidambaram in his last press conference as the Union Home Minister of India, on July 31, observed that the ongoing peace talks between Nationalist Socialist Council of Nagaland-Isak-Muivah (NSCN-IM) and Government of India (GoI) have reached a “sensitive stage” and efforts were on to iron out a longstanding solution to the Naga political issue. Chidambaram made it clear stating “first we will try to reach an agreement with NSCN-IM. Only then, we will talk with the other two groups provided they are willing to talk. As everybody knows, one group lives outside India.” On the possibility of an interim Government comprising representatives from NSCN and others, Chidambaram cautioned, “Let’s not go too fast. Let’s complete the first step. Then we will think about the next step.” The Minister also added that all the 60 legislators of the Nagaland Assembly belonging to various political parties were slated to reach New Delhi to meet him and the Prime Minister on August 6 and 7 in support of the ongoing peace talks.

One of the handlers of the November 26, 2008 (26/11) Mumbai attacks and arrested Lashkar-e-Toiba (LeT) operative Abu Jundal’s, who is in custody of the Crime Branch of Mumbai Police, custody has been extended till August 13, after it said it wanted to match the 26/11 handler's DNA sample with those collected from Kuber boat that launched the perpetrators on Mumbai shores, reports IBN Live. Police sources said that since Jundal had stayed with the terrorists in a dormitory at Muridke for 10 days, his DNA could have been transferred to them, adds The Times of India. Another reason for seeking an extension of custody was that the Police needed to recover the various e-mail IDs that Jundal created under fake names. It also wants to trace those people who helped Abu Jundal flee to Pakistan from Beed District in May 2006. It is reported by Hindustan Times on August 1 that Abu Jundal has told the Mumbai crime branch that he stayed in the same room for 10 days with the Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT) terrorists who attacked Mumbai in 2008. Jundal also told the crime branch that he had developed a close equation with a few of those who were undergoing training. As reported earlier, Jundal was arrested on June 21, 2012, by Delhi Police at New Delhi's Indira Gandhi International Airport after being deported from Saudi Arabia.
