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.

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.

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.

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. In two years, just 251 kilometres of roads have been built of a total of 5,477 kilometres to be completed by March 2014. 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 .

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.

However, another official overlooking the anti-Maoist operations attributed it to the changed tactics of the Maoists, who are refraining from attacking the Central and State Police forces. A senior official of the Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF) confessed that the intelligence inputs provided by the State Police have come down after the formation of the new Government.

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.”

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.

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.

Three Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist) camps were neutralized during the three-day operation that was launched in Saranda forest in West Singhbhum District, reports Times of India. 17 suspected Naxalites [Left Wing Extremists], including four women, were detained and over 200 kilograms of explosives seized in the operation that ended on June 29. The three camps were being led by senior leaders of Eastern Regional Bureau (ERB) of the CPI-Maoist deep in the forest located around 25 kilometers off Chota Nagra Police Station. "The camps were run under the guidance of ERB member Anmol Da alias Sammarji and other senior members," said Superintended of Police (SP) Arun Kumar Singh. "A total of 17 suspected Maoists, including four women, were detained by the Security Forces and are being interrogated," said Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF) Deputy Inspector General Bhanu Pratap Singh, adding, Anmol Da and other leaders of the Maoists managed to escape. The operation team engaged the Maoists in an encounter near Chadra village in the evening of June 28. 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.”

We will strengthen them further, providing them more training.
