A hardcore Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist) ‘commander’, identified as Phool Singh, carrying reward of INR 500,000 on his head was killed while another was arrested following an encounter between Maoists and Police in forests under Ghanora Police Station limits in Kondagaon District on May 1, reports The Pioneer. Singh was the ‘commander’ of Barda dalam (squad) of the CPI-Maoist. Police had received intelligence inputs about presence of Maoists in the forests of Ghanora. Accordingly a team of Police personnel swung into action and reached the spot, Kondagaon Superintendent of Police (SP), Abhishek Meena said. Sensing presence of Police team the armed Maoists opened indiscriminate fire on them following which Police retaliated, leaving a Maoist ‘commander’ dead. After gun battle that lasted for around two hours, Maoists fled into the jungle. However, one of them was arrested while trying to flee from the spot, the SP said. The arrested Maoist was identified as Rakesh, ‘commander’ of Antagarh dalam. Later Security Forces (SFs) recovered body of the Maoist along with two hand grenades, Maoist literature, documents, diaries, medicines and commodities of daily use from the spot, the SP added. State Government had declared reward of INR 500,000 on the head of killed Maoist Phool Singh and Rakesh also carried reward of INR 500,000 on his arrest, the SP informed. However, according to The Hindu, the reward Phool Singh carried was INR 1.5 million.

The People’s Union for Democratic Rights (PUDR) has condemned Chhattisgarh Police’s “threat” of taking sever action against “certain” NGOs in Chhattisgarh for allegedly aiding and abetting the Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist) cadres under guise of helping tribal people, reports The Hindu on May 8. “At a recent press conference in Bastar, Inspector General of Police S.R. Kalluri said that many such organisations were under surveillance. The IGP’s list of suspicions activities included providing legal assistance to Naxalites — a thinly veiled reference to the Jagdalpur Legal Aid group, a small NGO working in Bastar to provide free legal aid to the Tribal people, many of whom are falsely implicated in cases of Naxal activities,” a PUDR statement said.

A day before PM Narendra Modi's Dantewada visit, the Maoists have yet again marked their presence in protest against the PM's visit by putting up banners and pasting pamphlets appealing people to observe two-day 'Mahabandh' (great shutdown strike) in Sukma District on May 8 morning, reports The Times of India. In the pamphlets pasted in large numbers in Jagardunga-Dornapal region, the Maoists have boycotted the PM's visit and Chhattisgarh Government's ongoing ‘Loksuraj Abhiyan’ (public meeting campaign). Sukma Superintendent of Police (SP) D Shravan said that lots of pamphlets and posters were found in Jagargunda-Dornapal region against PM's visit to Bastar but it was a common practice that Maoists follow to mark their presence during such grand events. "But roads in my jurisdiction are all clear without hindrance," he added. Many trees were also felled at Pakhanjur-Bhanupratappur route in Kanker District, to disrupt traffic and movement of vehicles.

The Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist) has threatened a violent backlash against any attempt to re-launch the controversial Salwa Judum (anti-Maoist vigilante group) campaign — arming villagers to take on the Maoists, reports The Times of India on May 11. For revival of a 'jan jagaran abhiyan' (people’s awareness campaign) to wean away people from Maoists, a massive public meeting has been convened by ‘Vikas Sangharsh Samiti’ (struggle for development organisation) at Dantewada on May 25, second death anniversary of Mahendra Karma, who spearheaded the ‘salwa judum’ movement. Karma was among frontline Congress leaders killed in a deadly Maoist attack in Bastar in May 25, 2013. Former ‘salwa judum’ leaders, including Sukhdeo Tati and Chaitram Atami, are also associated with the fresh move to revive a movement against the Maoists. However, the Maoists issued a statement to the local media, describing the move as "Salwa Judum-II" and calling upon people to fight back the new 'repressive movement'. CPI-Maoist Dandakaranya special zonal committee spokesman Gudsa Usendi said party has given a call to Peoples' Liberation Guerrilla Army (PLGA), military wing of Maoists, to bring such people to peoples' court and take action. Maoists claimed Salwa Judum-II in the name of peace and development was in fact aimed at selling off the natural resources to domestic and foreign capitalists. "The heroic masses of Bastar will defeat Salwa Judum-II. The revolutionary movement and People's War would avenge the 'jan jagaran' as it did to Mahendra Karma and other members of salwa judum," the statement said.

Chhattisgarh Government has written to Union Ministry of Home Affairs seeking Nagaland's Indian Reserve Battalions, especially for the worst-hit Bastar region, reports The Times of India on May 12. Chief Minister Raman Singh said, "Experience shows that Nagaland battalions were very useful in fighting the Naxalites. They are very good at jungle warfare." The Indian Express on May 12 quotes Raman Singh saying, “The Constitution does not allow deployment [Army] against our own people, and neither does my heart. For the sake of argument, if the Army is deployed, the issue [Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist) insurgency] can be solved in four hours. But this should never happen”. Reacting to suggestions made by some local leaders about the revival of the Salwa Judum (anti-Maoist vigilante group), albeit under a different avatar, Singh said the issue — of local villagers being brought to the forefront in the fight against Maoists — was a “highly sensitive” one. If villagers, alongside Security Forces, were to tackle Maoists head-on in the open, the Government would have to ensure their protection, Singh told The Indian Express.

People’s Liberation Front of India (PLFI) leader Dinesh Gope (33) in an interview has said the group’s “philanthropic work” is making it popular among the neglected tribes and the group has 7000-8000 cadres across the country, including Odisha, Chhattisgarh, Bihar and West Bengal, reports The Hindustan Times on May 12. Gope said the PLFI was talking to tea garden labourers to extend its base to Assam after having spread to Uttarakhand and Haryana. He also claimed his cadres were in Sri Lanka, Mauritius, China and Nepal for talks with “like-minded organisations”. He further claimed a major chunk of the “levy” they collect from contractors, businessmen and mine owners – the amount is estimated to run into several crores – goes into a slew of “welfare programmes” that help them connect with the people. The PLFI claimed it is running at least 16 residential schools in Jharkhand, as well as one school each in Odisha and Chhattisgarh. They have also 48 acres of land in Bihar to set up educational institutions. PLFI is a splinter group of the Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist).

As Naxals-Left-Wing Extremists (LWEs) continue to strike with impunity in Chhattisgarh, a major worry has gripped the Union Ministry of Home Affairs (UMHA) regarding the training deficit in State Police Forces to fight the LWEs, reports The Asian Age on May 16. The critical aspect of training may suffer a bigger hit after the Union Finance Ministry has put the Special Infrastructure Scheme (SIS) under the domain of the States—divesting the UMHA of its earlier powers of monitoring the scheme and allocating funds to States. “The funds will now go directly into the kitty of the states. It will be part of the state corpus. Now whether they use these funds for training and equipping their personnel to fight the Naxal menace or use it for other purposes, it will be difficult to differentiate. This may ultimately have a direct bearing on the states’ preparedness to fight the Naxal menace,” a top official said.

Chhattisgarh Government has decided to outsource doctors, teachers and para-medical staff to work in the pockets that had been infested with the activities of the Naxalites [Left Wing Extremists (LWEs)], reports Business Standard on May 19. Being located in the inaccessible terrains coupled with the terror of the CPI-Maoist, doctors and teachers had been avoiding to work. Most of the state-run health centres and schools located in the interior areas of Bastar and Sarguja, both Naxal-affected divisions, had been facing the dearth of staff. The State Government had issued advertisement for filling the posts on number of occasions, but failed to get any response. Even the doctors were offered special packages for working in the insurgency-hit areas. Following the dearth of staff, the state government had been failing to provide proper health care and education to the people in both the regions. "Now, the state government had decided to outsource the posts in both Sarguja and Bastar region," a state government spokesperson said. The state cabinet on May 19 approved the proposal moved in this connection, he said, adding that the details of executing the proposal would be worked out soon. The posts that the State Government had been willing to outsource include doctors, teachers and para-medical staff. Further, development works with an estimated cost of INR 2.25 billion have been sanctioned for seven Districts, across Bastar region, which are Naxal affected, reports Business Standard on May 19. "A master plan has been drafted to provide intensive employment to the youth in the seven Naxal-affected districts of Bastar division," a State Government spokesperson said. The State government is laying stress on horticulture, animal husbandry and fisheries to make it viable, financially, to the deprived sections of the society. Stress is laid on developing irrigation facilities in Bastar region. Chhattisgarh's agriculture and water resources minister Brijmohan Agrawal toured the seven Districts during the three-day "Lok Suraaj" campaign. He laid foundation stones and performed 'Bhoomipujan' of development works worth INR 2.25 billion.

Opposition Congress party has disassociated with the move to re-launch Salwa Judum (an anti-Maoist vigilante group) in tribal Bastar region of Chhattisgarh, saying that it was the responsibility of the centre and the state governments to work out and implement strategies to deal with Maoist menace, reports The Times of India on May 20. All India Congress Committee (AICC) general secretary B K Hariprasad, who is in charge of party affairs in Chhattisgarh, clarified his party position on May 20, after Chhavindra Karma, son of slain Congress leader Mahendra Karma, made a public announcement for re-launch of Salwa Judum from May 25--the third anniversary of Maoist attack that killed frontline state Congress leaders. "We have nothing to do with Salwa Judum. It's the job of government of the day to fight Maoists and not of Chhavindra Karma or any other individual", he said at a press conference.

Amid opposition from political parties, the move to revive a "Salwa Judum" (an anti-Maoist vigilante group) like people's movement against the Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist) in Bastar region of Chhattisgarh has fizzled out with organizers now saying that they would organize a meeting on May 25 to pay homage to the victims of Maoist attack that killed frontline Congress leaders of the state in May 2013, reports The Times of India. Slain Congress leader Mahendra Karma's son Chhavindra Karma and other leaders had announced on May 5 that they would convene a meeting at Faraspal in Dantewada District on May 25 — the third anniversary of Bastar massacre — to chalk out strategies to re-launch a peoples' movement against Maoist rebels. Leaders of erstwhile Salwa Judum had also supported the move. While Maoists have threatened a bloody backlash against all those trying to revive any movement against them, mainstream political parties did not come out in open to support the proposed campaign fearing violence and bloodshed in the tribal region. Late Mahendra Karma's son and two former Salwa Judum leaders Chaitram Atami and Sukhdev Tati had formed a "vikas sangharsh samiti" to fight for the development of Bastar. In the process, they sought to project the proposed movement as the second phase of Salwa Judum, a controversial movement that led to bloodshed in Bastar between June 2005 and December 2008. Then, Congress leader Mahendra Karma had spearheaded the Salwa Judum campaign. "We are organizing a meeting at Faraspal on May 25 to pay homage to Mahendra Karma and others who were killed in Maoist attack in 2013," said Chhavindra Karma.

Meanwhile, the 2013 Maoist attack in Jeeram Ghati, which wiped out almost the entire Congress leadership in Chhattisgarh, was meant to target only former state minister Mahendra Karma, but “warriors of the People’s Liberation Guerrilla Army” ended up killing many others, documents seized after the arrest of top Maoist leader Dilip alias Guha Uike from Balaghat (Madhya Pradesh) have revealed, reports The Indian Express. The documents also revealed that the CPI-Maoist leadership considered the attack a “magnificent (shandaar) ambush” for the choice of terrain, the recovery of 23 weapons and the successful execution. But the leadership also felt the attack came with a heavy cost as it allowed “political parties and corporate media” to equate the Maoist movement with terrorism. “We could have won sympathy by letting Patel, his son, Shukla and others go but the unintentional killings of the innocent allowed political parties and the corporate media to label us terrorists,” the document stated.

Meanwhile, new mobile phone towers and post offices will soon come up in worst Naxal-hit Districts in Chhattisgarh with Union Home Minister (UHM) Rajnath Singh ordering expeditious completion of work, reports New Indian Express on June 1. The instructions were given at a high-level meeting held in Raipur during his two day-visit to Chhattisgarh on May 30 – 31. Singh reviewed the anti-Naxal operations and the development agenda with Chief Minister (CM) Raman Singh and senior officials of the central and State government besides the paramilitary forces. He directed that the installation of mobile towers by the Bharat Sanchar Nigam Limited (BSNL) be expedited, particularly in Sukma District. He said new post offices will be opened in the three worst affected Districts of south Bastar namely Sukma, Bijapur and Dantewada. Singh stressed on the need for expeditious formulation of the Road Requirement Plan (RRP), RRP-II, in consultation with the Union Ministry of Road Transport & Highways. He also called for opening of schools and hostels, new bank branches and expansion of radio and TV coverage in these areas. The State government proposed that the Centre should undertake the 'Bastar Plan' for its integrated development on both economic and security fronts. CM Singh raised the issue of reimbursement under the Security Related Expenditure (SRE) scheme and demanded the deployment of five Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF) battalions. Home Minister Singh also held an interaction with the personnel of CRPF and State Police Force at Chintagufa camp in Sukma. The jawans demanded adequate provision for family accommodation in group centres and removal of differences in pay and allowances between the State Police force and paramilitary jawans staying in the same campus. Assuring the jawans, UHM Singh said the constant effort of his Ministry is to improve the working conditions and take welfare measures for jawans. Further, talking to reporters at Jagdalpur, divisional headquarters of Bastar, he said Centre would extend all help to State government to tackle the problem, adds The Times of India. "Our effort is to expedite the pace of development and restore peace," UHM Singh said. Replying to a question, he said both State Police and Paramilitary Forces deployed in anti-Naxalite operations, were working for better coordination in region.
