A three page letter written in Telgu language signed by the Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist) Malkangiri Division ‘Secretary’ Poonam Chand stating “We the Maoists are working for the people, but you are preventing us to reach the people by utilizing the Police there by foiling our mission,” was handed over to Balwant Singh, District Collector of Malkangiri District by one Village Level Worker (VLW) on June 2. The letter addressed to the Collector Balwant Singh further reads that “we released the then Collector R. Vineel Krishna in the ‘Praja Court’ after the Chief Minister Naveen Patnaik’s assurance to abide by all the demands within 15 days”, however instead of acting on the demands, the State Government is unnecessarily wasting times. The letter has asked the Collector “Are you mot aware about the killing of Comrade Gajla alias Ratnalu in Police encounter on April 24, 2011 at Tentulipadar village despite the State Governments claims that combing operation has been stopped”. The Maoist letter has also demanded the release of all the tribals who have been languished in Malkangiri and Koraput jails on the false cases. The Maoist leader has also said no to operation green hunt. The Maoist leader has further urged to fulfill all the demands of the common men and to supply rice to the cut-off region soon. Any deviation of the warning would have dangerous consequence, the letter said.

Security agencies refused to allow family of ‘commander-in-chief’ of ULFA-ATF, Paresh Baruah to India from Bangladesh. Baruah fled the neighbouring country months before the top ULFA leaders, including ‘Chairman’ Arabinda Rajkhowa, were held and sent back to India in November 2009. An official said that we know that his wife and children are in Dhaka. But we do not want to see them deported to India. Once they are back home, Baruah will be a relieved man. He certainly will not like his family to live a life of uncertainty in a foreign country. And we believe this will keep him under pressure.

Union Ministry Home Affairs (MHA) has advised the Sates affected by the Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist) including Odisha to refrain from posting Special Police Officers (SPO) as it is telling upon the efficiency and morale of the regular Police personnel. The Bureau of Police Research and Development working under the MHA, after meticulous survey in the Maoist-hit areas, has recommended to the ministry that the SPO not being trained are not aware of their legal limits and they often indulge in acts that tar the reputation of regular policemen, demoralising them. It also creates negative impression on the police administration. The Police also become dependent on them leading to slow-down in their efficiency. Disapproving the way some states are bent upon posting increased numbers of SPOs, the bureau has also recommended that they immediately refrain from such indiscriminate measures.

From a confidential cable dated August 21, 2009 sent by the American Embassy in Beijing to Washington, it has come to light that Chinese authorities had place a technical hold on an Indian request to impose sanctions on three high-ranking Pakistan-based operatives of the Laskhar-e-Toiba (LeT) and Jaish-e-Mohammed (JeM), reports The Hindu. According to the cable, the Indian request to list three militants, namely, Abdul Rahman Makki (brother of LeT/Jud leader Hafiz Saeed and the number two man in the LeT hierarchy), Azam Cheema (LeT intelligence chief and a key advisor of its senior leader Zaki-ur-Rahman Lakhvi) and Mohammad Masood Azhar Alvi (the founder of the JeM) under the United Nations Security Council Resolution 1267 was vetoed by China on the grounds of lack of sufficient information to merit such action. According to the U.S. State Department, China's hold on listing the three terrorists was done at the behest of Pakistan.

Odisha and Chhattisgarh Police have chalked out a strategy to launch a joint operation against the Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist) in the interstate border areas. Additional Director General (ADG) anti-Maoist operation and Inspector General, Durg range, of Chhattisgarh held wide-ranging discussions for two days with their Odisha counterparts and other key officials on the matter in Bhubaneswar a few days ago, said sources. Both sides agreed on the need for undertaking joint operations in view of the extremists having opened a new front to cause violence in areas adjoining both states. "We did not feel this need earlier as Odisha's border with Chhattisgarh did not witness much Maoist activities," said a senior Odisha Police official. "So far we had engaged all our resources in other areas, including Malkangiri and Rayagada Districts bordering Andhra Pradesh, where the rebels had been wreaking havoc for years. But now that the Maoists have started creating trouble on the state's western side, we have started deploying Central and state forces to contain them. We have already deployed forces in strategic areas. More deployment is on the cards," the official said.

Security agencies have prepared a list of 80 militants from different parts of the State, who have been held up across Pakistan and Pakistan occupied Kashmir (PoK) for 10 to 20 years, for their return under Rehabilitation Policy of the State. Identities of the militants have been kept secret as the Security agencies anticipated that they would be lured once again into the militancy by Pakistan Army and Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI) besides the militant commanders of LeT, HM and JeM outfits to which they belonged if their names were made public. Under the Rehabilitation Police, four routes have been identified for return of the youth, which included Poonch-Rawlakote, Uri-Muzaffarabad, Wagah border in Amritsar District of Punjab and Indira Gandhi International (IGI) Airport.

UNLF chairman RK Meghen on June 9, urged all to shun culture of extortion and start earning their own livelihood instead of draining the public, reports Sangai Express. Speaking to reporters after being produced before a special court by the NIA in Guwahati, the militant leader said that serving extortion notices and lobbing bombs, opening fire and threatening the public, in case the demand is not met is not a healthy trend for the future of the land and the people. On the announcement of the Chief Minister daring the militants to come forward and take part in the election process to see whether they enjoy the support of the people or not, Meghen said that the plebiscite model mooted by the UNLF is akin to what the Chief Minister said. The UNLF leader said, “We welcome the Chief Minister's challenge to see whether the public support the militants or not” and added that the UNLF will respect the mandate of the people in any forum held under the supervision of the United Nations. Deploying a large number of security forces and asking the people to come out and vote in an atmosphere of fear and intimidation can never be free or fair, said the UNLF Chairman.

Bihar Police arrested Jagdish Yadav, a top politburo member of the Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist), from a clinic at Guraru Bazaar in Gaya District in the night of June 12, reports The Hindu. Yadav was being treated in the clinic. Known by aliases such as Jagdish Master, Akhileshji and Prabhatji, 70-year-old Yadav was a member of the Maoist Central Committee between 1996 and 2004 and had been a politburo member since then, overseeing major operations in Bihar, Jharkhand and Andhra Pradesh. Police sources said Yadav was a big fish in the Maoist pecking order, ranking just below Ganapathy and Kishan. An absconder since 1972, he was wanted for a landlord's murder in Aurangabad after a class war ensued between two factions. Carrying a reward of INR 300,000 on his head, Yadav has been involved in several major Naxal operations in Orissa, Bihar and Chhattisgarh. The sources said he was wanted in two cases by the Andhra Pradesh Police, eight by the Jharkhand Police and 14 cases by the Bihar Police, including the Lakhisarai Police hostage case of 2010. A resident of Gamhariya village in Aurangabad District, Yadav played a key role in overseeing the merger of the People's War Group (PWG) and the Maoist Communist Centre (MCC) in October 2004.

The Union Government will on June 14 (today) try to sort out border coordination issues between Chhattisgarh and Odisha, which blocks seamless anti-Naxal [Left-Wing Extremism] operations in Naxal-infested Mahasamund-Nuapada inter-State junction, reports Economic Times. At a meeting to be chaired by Union Home Minister P. Chidambaram, Chhattisgarh Chief Minister Raman Singh will press his Odisha counterpart Naveen Patnaik to deploy enough forces in Nuapada District to facilitate joint Police operations alongside Mahasamund. According to intelligence reports, a military company of the Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist), comprising around 70-80 men, has been camping in the Nuapada District for the last year-and-a-half , shifting base between Sonapada in Odisha and the adjoining district of Mahasamund in Chhattisgarh. Though Chhattisgarh has taken note of this concentration of armed Naxalites in the area seriously and stepped up deployment on its side of the border, Odisha has failed to seal its side of the border either with its own Police or Central forces at its disposal.

After the meeting, Chidambaram said, "We have made very clear that no operation will be conducted without the complements of State Police. Earlier practice has been completely discontinued since a year-and-a-half. Now, all operations are conducted by the paramilitary forces with the complements of state police. All operations are now joint operations." Raman Singh too agreed. Addressing a joint press conference with Chidambaram and Patnaik, he said, "Central forces cannot do it alone. State Police has to be there. It is not right to say that the casualties are only from paramilitary forces. Whoever comes under fire, they face the casualty. So, joint operation has to be there." Asked about the activities of Naxals along the inter-state borders, Singh said Chhattisgarh had 4,000 kilometres borders with Maharashtra, Andhra Pradesh and Odisha and it was practically impossible to check the movement of Maoists in these areas. "We can't stop them fully. Movement keeps going on. We have decided to augment our strength and operations will be intensified," he said. Chidambaram earlier said violence and the number of casualties had been reduced considerably in areas falling under 270 Police Stations in 64 Districts in eight States. "Up to June 14, there have been 811 incidents (1,025 last year) resulting in 270 deaths (473 last year). Of the 270 persons who were killed, 190 were civilians (296 last year) and 80 personnel of the security forces (177 last year)," he said. He said Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist) and other left-wing extremist groups continued to target civilians and kill them after branding them as 'Police informers' and of the 190 civilians killed this year, 72 were branded as Police informers. Chidambaram said these extremist groups also continued to target infrastructure and businesses and this year there were 13 attacks on railway property, 18 telephone exchanges and towers were attacked, four panchayat bhavans (office buildings of village level local self-Government institution) and 12 school buildings were destroyed and 82 roads and culverts were also damaged. Statistics, released by the Home Ministry, showed there were 125 encounters between Security Forces and extremists and 78 extremists were killed. Besides, 883 extremists were arrested, 243 surrendered and 315 arms were recovered this year.

Having met barely 10 per cent of its road-construction target in the eight Naxalite [Left Wing Extremism]-hit States, the Government plans to enlist locals as workers and settle for “semi-kuchcha” or simple motorable surfaces in place of the metalled ones that are standard for national highways, reports Indian Express.

So far INR 7.24 billion has been spent. “Workers taken to such sites do not continue with their jobs due to threats from extremists. That’s why we are considering engaging locals and providing only a motorable surface (without bitumen) to ensure faster construction,” Road Transport and Highways minister C P Joshi told .

Jammu and Kashmir (J&K) is paying a heavy price for fighting terrorism. The state has spent around INR 2,395 crore last fiscal as its security bill, excluding the expenses on the Army establishment that is being paid by the Centre. The state was spending INR 64 crore in 1989 for the upkeep of 28,000-strong police force. Over the past two decades, the police's headcount has increased to about 86,000 as the border state has been busy fighting against Pakistan-sponsored terrorism. J&K Chief Minister Omar Abdullah has urged the Centre to support the state in meeting the spiralling security bill during a meeting with the Planning Commission. The Plan panel has cleared INR 6,600 crore annual plan outlay for the state for fiscal 2011-12, which is INR 600 crore higher than the previous years.

Security Forces (SFs) engaged in anti-Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist) operations will get an eye in the sky in a month’s time to help them fight the insurgents better, reports Hindustan Times. The National Technical Research Organisation (NTRO), established after the 1999 Kargil war especially to gather intelligence, will start flying unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) or drones over CPI-Maoist strongholds such as Dantewada in Chhattisgarh and Gadchiroli in Maharashtra next month, Government sources told Hindustan Times. The sources said ground stations to launch the drones from have been identified and the NTRO will soon post its personnel at these stations. The drones will be used for surveillance only as they cannot fire missiles. The drones will not only help track movements of Maoists but also keep an eye on SFs conducting operations and area domination exercises in the Maoist strongholds, the sources said.

Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist)-backed People’s Committee against Police Atrocities (PCPA) cadres are allegedly pushing workers of Trinamool Congress, the ruling party, to quit the party in a bid to create pressure on the Mamata Banerjee-led Government, Trinamool sources said. The PCPA wants the Government to expedite the release of political prisoners and push for withdrawal of central forces from Janglemahal, promises that Mamata had made in the run-up to the Assembly elections. Local Trinamool activists, who requested anonymity, said they had been threatened in at least 20 villages of Jhargram, Salboni, Sankrail and Kotwali areas of West Midnapore in the past three weeks. “Maoist armed squad leader Badal Mahato travels with his guerrillas at night and holds meetings. He tells villagers about Mamata Banerjee’s promises. He says if the promises are not kept, they will wipe out Trinamool from Janglemahal,” a Trinamool activist said. A Dherua-based Trinamool leader said that on June 2, a local PCPA leader had visited him at night and asked him to quit Trinamool and join the PCPA. The PCPA leader is known to have Maoist links. PCPA leader Manoj Mahato, however, denied that Trinamool workers were being threatened. He said villagers in Jungle Mahal were demanding that Trinamool deliver on its promises. District Trinamool Chairperson Mrigen Maity said: “We have received reports from our workers in Jhargram, Salboni, Sankrail and Kotwali areas that they are being threatened by Maoists and the PCPA. We will soon submit a report to the state Trinamool leadership.”

A new front of the banned outfit Students Islamic Movement of India (SIMI) was uncovered by the Police in Karnataka on June 22 following the arrest of six youths from Mysore after a two-week long investigation into the kidnapping for ransom and murder of two young business management students. According to the reports, two youths, Sudhindra and his friend Vignesh were kidnapped on June 8 outside the Mahajana College in Mysore and their bodies, with strangulation marks and stab injuries were recovered on June 11 in a rural part of Bangalore. Investigations led to the arrest of Athaullah, Adil Pasha, Syed Ameen,Shabbir-ur-Rehman, Mohammed Kouser, and Saffeer Ahmed who confessed before the Police that they had carried out the kidnapping to raise funds for a controversial outfit called the Karnataka Forum for Dignity (KFD), which intelligence agencies identify to be a new front of the banned Students Islamic Movement of India (SIMI). KFD is accused of being at the centre of a series of communal riots in Mysore in 2009.

"There were 23 killings at the hands of militants this year while as this figure was 22 for the last year. Other than this, all the militancy related parameters are well within our control and this makes me happy," he said. In another context he said that election is not the solution to the Kashmir issue. "It (Kashmir issue) cannot be resolved through Panchayat [village level local self-government institution] polls and I am the first one to admit that the Kashmir problem should be addressed politically," the Chief Minister said. He, however, added that the Government would fully empower the Panchayats and a committee headed by Chief Secretary Madhav Lal has been set up to look into the broader perspective of giving more powers to Panchayats. The committee would submit its report by next week. He also said that decision is yet to be taken whether the elections for civic bodies would be held on party basis or non-party basis.

Hopefully, all these 108 militants will return home next month,” an unnamed Home Ministry official said. Sources said the identity of the rehabilitated militants would be kept a secret. Over 3,000 Kashmiri youths went to PoK to receive arms training. Their return is being made possible under the Government’s Rehabilitation Policy announced in 2010.

Inspector General of Border Security Force (BSF, Jammu Frontier) Sunil Chattopadhyay said that though the situation on the International Border is calm as compared to last four years yet there is no scope for complacency as around 170 militants are still getting arms training in eight camps on the other side of border and may try to sneak into this side. "The situation on the International Border between India and Pakistan is under control and very calm since August 2010 as compared to last four years when there were several incidents of cease fire violations and attempts of infiltration", he said. “In 2007, there were 28 incidents of cease-fire violation and attempts of infiltration while as the same in 2008 were 58. In 2009, the number of such incidents was 36 while as during the period between January 2010 to August 2010, 28 cease-fire violations and infiltration attempts were made from the other side on the International Border,” the official said. "A total of 9 such incidents have taken place from August 2010 till date as such the situation is better as compared to previous four years", he said, adding "this is mainly because of increased surveillance, alertness at all levels and effective monitoring of situation from the Border Out Posts (BOPs) besides coordination with Pakistani Rangers". In reply to another query, Chattopadhyay disclosed that under Central Government sponsored schemes, 38 BOPs in Jammu Frontier are being modernized and better living conditions will be provided to the soldiers. "The work is likely to be completed by next year", he added.

Pakistan-based Lashkar-e-Toiba (LeT) outfit runs a series of well-oiled courses for budding terrorists, ranging from religious indoctrination to military and intelligence training, which are aimed at boosting militancy in Jammu and Kashmir, reports Times of India. David Coleman Headley, a Pakistani-American LeT operative and an accused in the 26/11, in his testimony during the recently-concluded trial of co-accused Tahawwur Rana provided an insight into the religious, military and intelligence training being imparted by the LeT. He told the court that he went for religious training by the LeT in 2002; the three-month operational military training in 2003; and the LeT leadership course in 2004. In between, he did a course in intelligence in 2003. "I did the basic -- the religious course in the beginning. I did a preliminary course, a military. And then I did the advanced course. Then I did the intelligence course. Then I did the anti-terrorist course. Then I did the leadership course. And that's it," Headley told the court in response to a question from the defence attorney. All these courses, he said, were directed towards fighting in Jammu and Kashmir. Headley told the court that LeT taught them "small unit tactics," for "conventional and guerrilla warfare" in both "urban and country settings," so that LeT terrorists could fight against the Indian Army. "And that was your aim, that you were going to fight in that battle?" he was asked. "That is correct", Headley responded. "They really didn't teach you ...in the intelligence course, the intelligence was designed to help you with that type of a battle, correct, fighting in the guerrilla war, so to speak?" he was asked. "No. The intelligence was a little different from that. That was geared toward living... small groups of Lashkar operatives that would go in and live inside of India. That was geared for that mainly," Headley said. "Small groups. Where were they going to live, in Kashmir or India itself?" the defence attorney asked. "In India or Kashmir, both," Headley said. "And do what type of work?" he was asked. "Surveillance or checking out some locations as well as VIPs or personnel," he said. After working for LeT for four-five years, Major Iqbal of the Pakistan’s external intelligence agency, Inter Services Intelligence (ISI), got in touch with him in 2006. "How do you know he was in ISI?" the defence attorney asked. "Because I had been introduced to him by a person who had met—who I had met inside a military cantonment in Landi Kotal," Headley said.

Rejecting President Pratibha Patil’s call for peace talks, Maoists announced a ‘protest week’ from July 4 in Chhattisgarh, Andhra Pradesh, and Maharashtra and on the Andhra-Odisha Border (AOB), demanding immediate scrapping of the Army training school being set up in the foothills of Abujmarh in Bastar. In two separate statements issued ON June 26, CPI-Maoist central committee spokesman Abhay said the President’s call to Maoists to come forward for peace talks came at a time when a battalion-strong Army have already been sent in with the intention to involve them in the so-called operation green hunt. Such a proposal for talks comes when Governments and corporates have entered into memoranda of understanding (MOUs) to exploit vast mineral wealth in the region and security forces are unleashing terror and committing atrocities on the poor in tribal areas,” he alleged, adding that Maoist leader Azad ― who had initiated a process for peace talks with the Government ― was killed in a fake encounter. Maoists appealed to the people to impress upon the President to call off ongoing operations and withdraw the paramilitary forces from the tribal areas. They also want the Army training centre scrapped, as well as all MOUs and the land acquisition process. “If the governments accept these demands, Maoists will stop the counter violence,” the Maoist spokesman said.

Mizoram’s Bru Coordination Committee (BCC) on June 28 sent a letter to Union Home Minister P. Chidambaram asking the Centre to ensure rehabilitation for the 80 displaced Mizo families, allegedly driven out by Brus from Sakhan range in Tripura in 1998. In the letter Elvis Chorkhy, general secretary of the BCC, urged Chidambaram to give INR 80,000 to each displaced Mizo family, similar to the amount given to Bru families repatriated from the relief camps in North Tripura District and re-settled in Mizoram. Chorkhy mentioned that due to the demand by major civil societies in Mizoram that the Bru repatriation should not resume unless the displaced Mizos were rehabilitated, the ongoing repatriation process was derailed. “It is the desire of the BCC to ensure mutual satisfaction between the Mizo and Bru communities of Mizoram in the matter,” he said, adding, “the BCC wants peace, tranquility and communal harmony in the state, without which the present process of Bru repatriation cannot be successful”. The fourth phase of Bru repatriation, scheduled to commence from June 7, was stalled by the State Government in the wake of major NGOs and political parties demanding rehabilitation of the displaced Mizo families before resumption of the Bru repatriation.

Intelligence reports speak of a possibility of Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist) cadres establishing Orissa-Chhattisgarh corridor, reports The Hindu. Raigarh Superintendent of Police, Rahul Sharma, said, “The Maoists are trying to set up a corridor to move freely between Bastar [South Chhattisgarh] and the Districts of Raigarh and Mahasamund via Bargarh in Orissa. However, better connectivity, roads and infrastructure in Raigarh [compared to Bastar] will make it difficult to expand [Maoist] operations here.” He said the Maoists had been working on the “corridor” for some time now. Sources said the Maoists had recently formed a Bargarh-Mahasamund Divisional Committee that reports to the larger Dandakaranya Special Zonal Committee (DKSZC). With operations in Chhattisgarh’s five Southern Districts and parts of the Gadchiroli District in Maharashtra, the DKSZC is one of the most active Maoist divisions.

The offensive was launched on June 26 midnight after arrested Maoist Nirmal Jharia on June 18 tipped the Security Forces off about Maoist training camps being run in the forest. "The camps were situated at an interval of four and half kilometres and one of the camps at Chanderdera village even had permanent concrete structure separate for men and women. It has jumping and target practice fields also," said SP Arun Kumar Singh. Near Baliba village, Police seized 200 kilograms of gelatin sticks hidden in a dump along with 50 bundles of codex wires, barbed wire and other materials used for improvised explosive devices. "At Baliba, Police also recovered 50 quintals of grains, potatoes, chocolates, biscuits, utensils for nearly 150 people, 50 jute bags, as many uniforms, two rifles and a huge number of ammunition," said CRPF Deputy Inspector General Bhanu Pratap Singh, adding, that the details of the exact amount of seizure could only be ascertained once the personnel return from the operation. Large bags containing Naxalite literature that included jungle warfare training booklets were also found in the camps.

Through posters put up in Latehar District, Maoists have invited displaced people to join their cadre, Police said on June 29. The posters invited people to join the CPI-Maoist’s People's Liberation Guerrilla Army (PLGA). The posters read: “People displaced due to demolition drive should join the CPI-Maoist organization and step up protest against the government. Stop displacing poor people in the name of demolition drive. Demolish houses of officials involved in the demolition drive. The government should provide compensation to kin of the people killed while protesting demolition drive.” Six people protesting the demolition drive were killed in Police firing in Ranchi and Dhanbad in April. Thousands of people have been rendered homeless due to the ongoing demolition drive in the State following a directive of the High Court that houses of those living illegally on Government land should be demolished. Meanwhile, an unnamed Police official told IANS, “The posters have been removed. Maoists, who are on the back foot due to Police offensive, are trying to woo people by cashing in on their sentiments.”

Outgoing Union Home Secretary G. K. Pillai on June 30 conceded that Abujhmaad was “liberated zone” and totally under Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist) control, but argued that this area too would eventually be taken over by Government forces, reports Telegraph. It’s just a matter of time before the Maoists’ top leadership is “captured or eliminated” and the rest pushed back into Abujhmaad, Pillai said. He accepted that over the past few years, the Maoists had been able to consolidate their gains in Chhattisgarh, Jharkhand and Orissa while expanding to Bihar. “Even though there has been some increase (in Maoist-held areas), as we build up our forces over the next few years... the Maoists will find themselves on the run. As I have said, it is a long haul. It will take five to seven years,” Pillai told Telegraph. For all that, the Maoists have carved out a corridor connecting various “liberated” or “guerrilla” zones, allowing them a continuous passage from Khammam in Andhra to Jharkhand via south Chhattisgarh’s Bijapur district and the Orissa-Chhattisgarh border. Sources have said the rebels have taken over several areas in Orissa’s Nuapada and Bolangir. But Pillai said, “Nuapada? No one (from the forces) was there. In another year’s time we will take back all these areas. The so-called liberated areas were with them because there was a vacuum and they filled it.... We will fill it back once we enter; we will build up roads, communication. They will go away from there and enter Abujhmaad and we will finally take Abujhmaad too.”
