As many as 44 Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist) cadres including nine women cadres surrendered before Police in Sukma District of Chhattisgarh on January 1, reports timesnownews.com. Sukma Superintendent of Police (SP), Sunil Sharma said, the rebels, mostly lower-rung cadres who were active in Chintalnar, Kishtaram and Bheji areas of the district, turned themselves in at the newly-set up Police camp in Karigundam village. One of them, Madkam Dula, a member of CPI-Maoist platoon no. 4, was carrying a reward of INR 200,000 on his head. Others were members of CPI-Maoist's militia or the Chetna Natya Mandli (CNM), a cultural wing of Maoists, SP, Sharma said, adding the surrendered cadres said they were disappointed with the "hollow" Maoist ideology and "impressed" by the district Police's rehabilitation drive for Naxals [Left Wing Extremists, LWEs], called 'Puna Narkom'. Puna Narkom, a Gondi word, means a new dawn.

Claiming that a major portion of the Bastar region was now free of Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist) insurgency, Chhattisgarh Chief Minister (CM), Bhupesh Baghel on the occasion of New Year at Police Parade Ground in Raipur on January 1 hailed the Security Forces (SFs) for their successes against the rebels, reports NDTV. "I am happy that our police have been doing excellent work in Naxal [Left Wing Extremist, LWE]-affected areas. Naxalism is not just a law-and-order problem, but also a political and social problem. Security forces have set up camps in Maoist strongholds which pushed the rebels on the back foot," the chief minister was quoted as saying in an official release. "Now the forest-dwellers, mostly tribals (in Naxal-affected areas), consider security personnel as their friends and understand that security personnel have been deployed there for their own safety," CM, Baghel said, adding, "This all could become possible because the police are helping locals, and development works, including the construction of roads, bridges and culverts, are taking place. A major portion of Bastar has got rid of the Naxal menace." Earlier, when it came to Chhattisgarh, people outside the state spoke only about Naxalism, "but our government has changed this thinking and this image of the state," the CM added.

As the protests against the GO 317 [Government Order (GO) 317 which was introduced on December 6, 2021, pertaining to Telangana Public Employment’s introduction of a zonal system in the allocation of jobs] gather momentum in the State, the Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist) have also extended their support to the employees' demand in Mulugu District of Telangana, reports The Hans India on January 4. The letter purportedly released by the CPI-Maoist ‘Central Committee (CC)’ ‘spokesperson’ Jagan at Venkatapuram on January 3 demanded the Telangana Rashtra Samithi (TRS) government to withdraw the GO and stop the employee allocation with immediate effect. The Maoists demanded the government to take up recruitment on the basis of nativity and reservations. With the government taking up the allocation of employees on the basis of seniority, a whole lot of employees especially women were put to distress. The GO is also likely to affect the unemployed youth especially the Adivasis, the letter said. Instead of implementing such thoughtless GOs, the government should focus on taking up recruitment, the Maoists said. The Maoists further opined that the TRS government had intentionally issued the GO 317 to distress the employees. The letter also questioned the rationale behind forcing the GO although nearly 3 lakh employees have been up against it. The banned outfit criticised the government for not taking the opinion of the employees before rolling out the GO. The letter also urged people to support the employees' protests until the government withdraws the GO.

Under pressure for killing their own cadres, Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist)’s of the Gangaloor Area Committee issued a handwritten press note on January 9 to deny reports that they had killed three persons, including two of their own cadres who were lovers and had broken ranks with the insurgents to marry, reports The Times of India on January 10. The Maoists, however, admitted to the murder of one of their cadres, Kamlu Punem, and claimed he was killed because he worked for Police and “was in a relationship with a relative”. On January 8, Police said they had information that Kamlu, a militia ‘platoon commander’, and his lover Mangi, a militia member, were produced in kangaroo court (people’s court of the Maoists) and killed by their comrades in Bijapur. A villager was also killed the same day. The Maoists claim this is Police propaganda, but the note is silent about Mangi. Inspector General of Police (IGP), Bastar range, P Sundarraj said, “If this press note of Gangaloor Area Committee Maoists is authentic, then it supports the police version on the issue. Police have stated that Maoists have executed their own militia cadres Kamlu Punem and Mangi Punem. Whether both cadres tried to elope from the Maoist camp in order to marry is a matter of investigation. But the very fact that Naxals are executing their own cadres on suspicion of being police informers or for any other reason only indicates that the downfall of this illegal organization has begun.”

Asserting that Army is resolved to show "zero tolerance" to militancy and is committed to extracting "dire costs" for it, Army Chief General MM Naravane on January 12 said that as many as 350-400 militants are present at the launchpads and training camps in Pakistan controlled Kashmir (PoK), reports Kashmir Observer. Addressing a press conference ahead of the Army Day, he said the concentration of some 350 to 400 militants in launch pads and training facilities on the other side (Pakistani side) of the Line of Control (LoC) and repeated infiltration attempts "expose" the "nefarious intents" of the adversary. At the same time, he said last year's ceasefire understanding between the Director General of Military Operations (DGMO) of Indian and Pakistani armies resulted in some improvement in the situation along the LoC. "Along the Line of Control, after a heightened situation for a prolonged period, the DGMOs understanding in February last year was aimed at achieving mutually beneficial, and sustainable peace," he said.

On January 18, India’s Permanent Representative to the UN Ambassador T S Tirumurti at the International Counter Terrorism Conference 2022 stated that the crime syndicate responsible for the 1993 Mumbai bomb blasts was not only given state protection but also enjoyed a five-star hospitality, in a veiled reference to the D-company head Dawood Ibrahim believed to be residing in Pakistan, reports Hindustan Times. Tirumurti made this statement in the conference organized by Global Counter Terrorism Council while talking about the need to recognize the linkages between terrorism and transnational organised crime for addressing them properly. As the Chair of the UNSC Counter-terrorism Committee for 2022, Tirumurti further said that the UN sanctions regimes, including the 1267 Al-Qaida Sanctions Committee, are pivotal to the international efforts in preventing terror-financing, terrorist-travel and access to arms by the terrorist organisations. However, voicing concern about the implementation of these measures, the India Ambassador pointed that the recent report of the Monitoring Team on the asset freeze exemption procedures pursuant to resolution 2560 (2020) points to the lacunae of asset freeze measures by member states, partly due to deficiencies in the existing guidelines of the Committee.
