ANI reports that Chhattisgarh Police said that it has devised a new strategy to combat the Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist) by packing a small area with adequate security personnel to force the Maoists to flee and develop it later. Speaking to ANI on January 2, Chhattisgarh Director General of Police Vishwa Ranjan said: “We have started a new form of joint operation in Rajnandagaon and northern Bastar. The objective is to pack a small area with adequate force, so that Naxals [Left Wing Extremists] are forced to flee the area.” “Once they have retreated we will develop the area. When that area has developed will move to another geographical area and develop it,” he added. Earlier in December 2009, after a meeting with the Director Generals of Police of five Naxal affected States -West Bengal, Jharkhand, Orissa, Chattisgarh and Bihar the Home Ministry had reportedly agreed to depute 33 more battalions of the Central forces to the anti Naxal offensive. The Union Home Ministry has stationed 25 battalions of central forces in Chhattisgarh as the State is witnessing the heavy movement of the red rebels. The CPI-Maoist cannot survive in the jungles without having a urban base as they rely on logistics support from their network in the cities, Chhattisgarh Police chief Vishwa Ranjan said, according to IANS. “Without an urban base, the Maoists can’t operate an underground movement in the forests. They rely on logistics support from their urban network,” Ranjan, a former additional director of the Intelligence Bureau (IB), said at a press conference here. “They (the Maoists) can’t survive without an urban base. Police in Chhattisgarh have cracked down hard on rebels’ urban network throughout 2009 and the Maoists have now been put under severe Police pressure in the State,” Ranjan maintained. Responding to a question, he denied that the Police were not getting the support of the locals in their operations against the Maoists in the interiors. “Police are getting good support from the local population in the drive against insurgents as the people are with Maoists only because of fear, not because of the heart,” Ranjan remarked.

IANS reports that the National Mineral Development Corporation (NMDC) has cut down iron ore transportation by 35 percent daily since January 1 as railway authorities have cancelled movement of goods trains during the night due to a shutdown call by the Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist) in Chhattisgarh, a company official said on January 4. The disruption of rail services between NMDC’s Bailadila mining facilities in Dantewada District, some 380 kilometres from state capital Raipur, and Andhra Pradesh’s port city Visakhapatnam has hit ore supplies to several domestic steel majors, including Essar Steel and Visakhapatnam Steel Plant. “Some 35 percent of total daily dispatches of 56,000 tonnes from Kirandul and Bacheli mining facilities has been hit as rail rakes are not available since January 1 night,” NMDC general manger Subimal Bose told IANS. Maoists are highly active in and around NMDC’s mining facilities in Dantewada District, the report added.

The Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist) is recruiting hundreds of children in an effort to strengthen their influence in the heartlands of India, according to NDTV. They target 10 to 15 year olds from poor families. Children are often recruited by force. Experts said these recruitment drives are happening in bordering areas of eastern and central Jharkhand and Chhattisgarh and Orissa States. "Maoists have a separate department to recruit children. They say it is baal (children) militia. It is very operational in bordering areas of Orissa-Jharkhand and Orissa-Chhattisgarh. Their job is only to recruit children to train them and brainwash them," experts said.

The Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist)-infested States, including Jharkhand and Maharashtra, have set up a Special Task Force (STF) in their bid to jointly tackle the Maoist problem, Director General of Police of West Bengal Bhupinder Singh told PTI. West Bengal, Bihar, Jharkhand, Chhattisgarh, Orissa, Andhra Pradesh, Maharashtra and some other Maoist-hit States have selected 30 officers for the STF to deal with the Maoist problem, he said. The 30 selected officers had undergone a month-long training programme at Ghatsila in Jharkhand. Some foreign army officials, who have experience in tackling guerrilla warfare, also imparted them training, the Police officer said. Of the 30 officers selected for the task force, four are from West Bengal, the officer said, adding, "The force would be named soon and it will be pressed into action as and when the training programme is completed."

Two people were arrested and marijuana plants over a 10-acre uprooted in Bijapur District, a senior Police officer said on January 6, adding that the plants were being grown by Maoists. The marijuana plants were traced when a Police team visited the interior pocket of Bastar region's Tarud village. "It was a 10 acre plot in a Maoist-commanded area where ganja (marijuana) plantations were found. After spotting the plants, a massive contingent of Policemen visited the field Tuesday [January 6] and uprooted the plants which were estimated to be worth millions," T. J. Longkumer, Inspector General of Police (Bastar range), told IANS. Describing this as the "first ever case in the state of Maoists' involvement in ganja plantations", Longkumer said that two people who originally belonged to Tamil Nadu were arrested while four others who were taking care of the plants were absconding. "A team of about 100 Policemen was rushed Wednesday [January 6] to track down the absconding men and the Maoists who were involved in the plantations. We are gathering details whether Maoists have more such plantations in the area," Longkumer added.

A Union Home Ministry report revealed that among the worst Naxal (left wing extremism)-infested states, maximum Naxalites were killed in Chhattisgarh, Director General of Police (DGP) Vishwa Ranjan said, according to Business Standard. Minimum Naxal incidents had taken place in the state in the last one year as well, he added. Ranjan said 217 encounters took place between the Security personnel and Naxalites in various parts of the state in 2009. During the encounters, 107 Naxalites were gunned down, the DGP said. The figure could be much more as the Police officially take down the number on the basis of bodies found. Since the rebels carry away the bodies, Police suspect that the number will be more. "Even the Naxal literatures underline heavy casualties in Chhattisgarh," Ranjan added. Referring to the operation against the Naxalites, Ranjan said the drive of Chhattisgarh Police was on while the joint operation with the central forces would be launched soon. "We are getting support from the villagers to the Centre in our operation against the Naxalites," he added. The central Government had provided adequate forces for the operation against the ultras while the assistance would continue in future as well, Ranjan said, adding that after the inhuman acts of the Naxalites, villagers in the interior areas of red zone are helping the Security personnel. The Police chief said the urban network of the Naxalites was under scanner and Police were keeping a close vigil as without an urban base, the Naxals cannot operate an underground movement in the forests

Taking advantage of the prevailing volatile political situation in Andhra Pradesh, the Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist) may try to strengthen their base, Police officials have warned, according to PTI. The Maoists, who have reportedly supported the Telangana agitation, may utilise the current unrest to strengthen their base in the backward region, once a stronghold of Maoist activity, they said. There is always a danger of Maoists coming back to the State and regaining the lost ground, given the turmoil prevailing in the last few months, according to an unnamed senior Police official. The Andhra Police is worried about the heightened activities of the Maoists in neighbouring Chhattisgarh and Orissa. Police in Srikakulam and Visakhapatnam, bordering Orissa, and Khammam District adjoining Chhattisgarh have been put on a high alert, Police said.

The Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist) now has developed the expertise to clone sophisticated weapons, including assault rifles of AK series, according to Times of India. Security agencies came across the Maoists’ innovative skills when a Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF) team neutralized an arms manufacturing unit in the forests close to Gobardaha village in the Chatra District of Jharkhand and recovered a number of ‘duplicate’ AK-47 and AK-57 rifles of “high standard”. The CRPF also seized as many as 59 different types of instruments, which were used to manufacture and assemble these rifles and various types of pistols. An unnamed official said, “Though Security Forces have busted other arms manufacturing units of the Maoists in Chhattisgarh, Maharashtra, Madhya Pradesh and Andhra Pradesh in the past, they have for the first time come across such sophisticated weapons of high standard, manufactured by the ultras.” The first big arms manufacturing unit of the Maoists was neutralized by Andhra Pradesh Police in 2006 when they recovered a huge stock of rocket shells and launchers in the State. Probe later revealed that the Maoist’s ‘technical wing’ designed the launchers and initially made them at a foundry in Chennai.
