On August 2, the Orissa Government demanded four additional battalions of paramilitary forces and at least one chopper to be deployed in operations against the left-wing extremists in the State, reports Zee News. Chief Minister Naveen Patnaik, in a letter to the Union Home Minister Shivraj Patil, said that though Orissa, Chhattisgarh and Andhra Pradesh were facing similar problems, the Union Government had adopted different yardsticks towards each State. Patnaik said that while only four battalions (about 4,000 personnel) of the Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF) were deployed in Orissa to combat the Maoists, as many as 16 battalions each were provided to neighbouring Chhattisgarh and Andhra Pradesh. "Dantewada district alone in Chhattisgarh got six CRPF battalions", he said.

Similarly, families of police officers of the rank of inspector and above will be paid INR One Million as ex-gratia instead of INR 500,000.

The cost of treatment of those sustaining injuries will be borne by the Government. Further, the Government said one member of the family of any policeman killed in anti-Maoist operations will be provided a Government job up to Group-B level as per his qualifications.

The National Human Rights Commission (NHRC), which had been mandated by the Supreme Court to probe the alleged excesses committed by the Salwa Judum (anti-Maoist vigilante programme) in Chhattisgarh’s Bastar region, has reportedly favoured the continuation of the movement, reports Economic Times. The Commission, which held detailed and on-the-spot investigation of the activities of the Salwa Judum members found that, barring a few stray cases of violence, there was nothing to suggest their direct involvement in atrocities on the civilian population. The NHRC further observed that the Chhattisgarh state government’s role is limited to providing security cover for the processions and meetings of the Salwa Judum and also to inhabitants of the temporary relief camps dotting the area. The Commission further said that many of the allegations against the Salwa Judum members are based on rumours and hearsay, and devoid of facts.
