According to Times of India, the Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist) has attacked mobile telephone communication systems in six States, particularly in the last three years. During this period, the Maoists have blown up as many as 62 mobile telephone towers in six Maoist-affected States. Sources in the Union Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA) said the highest number of towers, 20, was destroyed by the Maoists in Chhattisgarh where during 2008 alone 14 mobile telephone towers of both private and Government networks were attacked by the insurgents. In Bihar, the Maoists blew up 14 towers in 2008. Four other States which faced Maoists attacks on mobile telephone towers are Orissa, Jharkhand, Andhra Pradesh and Maharashtra. "Maoists believe many police informers use mobile network to inform security forces about their movement and activities which resulted arrest of several of their leaders and that is why they try to target the towers," an unnamed official said. Jharkhand, which did not see any attack on mobile towers till 2007, saw nine such attacks which disrupted the communication network in several Maoists-affected regions. In 2005, the Maoists had blown up eight mobile towers while in 2006, they targeted just five. Further, in 2007, the Maoists destroyed six mobile towers and in 2008, 43 towers were attacked.

Mahesh Gagda, a Member of Legislative Assembly from the Maoist-affected Bijapur constituency, has alleged that Maoists are forcibly taking away children from villages and using them as human shields against Security Forces, IANS reported on May 24. "Maoists are forcibly picking up boys and girls from their houses and schools in the interiors to use them as shields in the war against (security) forces," said Gagda. He also said "Maoists have completely halted development in about 100 villages out of 272 villages that form Bijapur constituency. Kids in Bijapur are carrying arms, even AK-47s. Maoists deliberately put arms on children's body and then cover these with a school dress or other simple clothes to dodge Police security and frisking. Maoist leaders always keep armed kids around themselves and whenever they want to kill anyone, they use the weapon being carried by the kid," adding "The Maoist menace has reached its flashpoint in Bijapur. They are forcibly recruiting boys and girls in their rank and file and generally girls are also sexually exploited."
