The Director General of Police (DGP), Vishwa Ranjan said that the State Government has planned to raise an Anti-Terrorism Squad (ATS) by training 1,000 Policemen to tackle terrorists. "We have decided to convert State Police's third battalion into an Anti-Terrorism Squad (ATS) that will be purely used to tackle terror attacks," he said, adding, "The ATS commandos will be kept ready purely for anti-terror operations and to be employed in operations against Maoists only in emergency cases." The DGP also said that the ATS commandos, selected from Policemen below 30 years, will be given "tough training in a phased manner in the State, and then the central Government will be requested to arrange their highly specialised commando training".

The Chhattisgarh Governor, E. S. L. Narasimhan, said on January 5 that the State Government would set up an Anti-Terrorism Squad (ATS) and also take a slew of other measures to strengthen the security apparatus to effectively fight terror and the Maoist threat, Zee News reported. Addressing the first session of the newly-elected State Legislative Assembly, he termed terrorism and left-wing extremism as the worst internal security problems being faced by the country today. He also said the proposed ATS, which would consist of highly trained commandos, would be deployed at the State as well as the District headquarters. He also said the State Government had decided to convert a Chhattisgarh Armed Forces battalion into a Commando unit. Narasimhan said the Government would also establish Anti-Terrorist Control Rooms and Analysis Group at the State and District headquarters to compile, analyse and share information relating to terror elements with the Security Forces of neighbouring States and Central agencies.

Reviewing the progress of the Pradhanmantri Gram Sadak Yojana (PMGSY, Prime Minister’s Village Road Construction Scheme), the Minister for Panchayat (village-level self-Government institution) and Rural Development, Ram Vichar Netam, said in capital Raipur the State Government is facing difficulties in implementing the PMGSY in the Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist) affected areas, leading to delay in taking up construction of 441 roads in the State, reports Indian Express on January 7. “Construction of roads in remote Naxalite (left-wing extremist) areas has to be taken up on a priority basis. We will seek the help of Police and para-military personnel to provide Security cover, wherever necessary,” Netam said. More than INR 3.09 billion has been earmarked for the construction of these 441 roads under the PMGSY in the Maoist affected areas but the work either did not begin, or had to be abandoned at some places following threat from the insurgents.

In two separate incidents, four persons, including three SPOs, were killed by the Maoists in Bijapur District on January 7. District Superintendent of Police J.S. Watti said suspected left-wing extremists had killed three persons, including two SPOs, in Aramangi village and one SPO in the Belchar village. According to him, the CPI-Maoist cadres are increasingly targeting Policemen and SPOs in Bijapur District "out of desperation." He added: "They are selectively killing Police and SPOs to create a reign of terror in the District as we have eliminated 11 hardcore Naxalites (left-wing extremists) in recent months."

Legislator of the opposition Congress party from the Konta constituency, Kawasi Lakhma, said that “since early 2005, neither Police nor Government officials nor I myself have dared to visit the 60 villages where insurgents have total monopoly,” IANS reported. “People’s life in my segment is like hell; they have nothing to eat. About 50,000 innocent tribals in my constituency alone have migrated to neighbouring Khammam District of Andhra Pradesh since June 2005 when the fight between Salwa Judum [anti-Maoist vigilante movement] cadres and Maoists began. Due to fights between Salwa Judum cadres and the rebels, the local weekly market system, which was a lifeline for the entire Dantewada District, has almost become non-existent,” he said.

Quoting the Director General of Police of Chhattisgarh, Vishawa Ranjan, Times of India reported on January 12 that commandos of the Anti-Terrorism Squad (ATS) of Chhattisgarh, which came into existence on January 10, will not only tackle terrorist attacks like those witnessed in Mumbai, but will also be employed for anti-Maoist insurgency operations during any emergency. He said, "ATS came into existence January 10. The ATS commandos are now ready to respond to any terror challenge at very short notice," adding, "tough training" will be provided by the State Government to the commandos in a phased manner. In addition, the central Government will be requested to provide their "highly specialised commando training". Commandos up to the age of 30 years will be employed in the ATS. "Anti-terrorist control rooms have also been set up in all the 18 Districts to deal with possible terror attacks and Maoists," said home department officials.

Chhattisgarh Police has said the CPI-Maoist cadres are recruiting minor girls as part of a stepped-up drive to get members for the Krantikari Adivasi Mahila Sangh, a women's wing of the CPI-Maoist. "Maoist militants are now on a stepped-up drive to recruit minors, mainly female adolescents, because it's easier to brainwash them. The forced recruitment drive in the Bastar hinterland is now basically to fill up hundreds of slots vacated due to mass desertion of Communist Party of India-Maoist cadres due to relentless Police pressure and exposure of the myth of Maoist ideology," Pawan Deo, a senior Special Intelligence Branch officer said. The Director General of Police, Vishwa Ranjan, stated that, "some 30 percent or 15,000 of a total of 50,000 armed rebels are female insurgents who actively participate in carrying out major strikes against civilians and Police forces."

The encounter occurred when the Police and Special Police Officers (SPOs) during a search operation detected a Maoist camp where the insurgents had organised a meeting. According to Rahul Sharma, the Dantewada Superintendent of Police, the Maoist leadership had organised the meeting to discuss boycott of the Republic Day celebrations and to call for observing January 26 as a ‘black day’ in the region. Some 50 to 60 Maoists reportedly took part in the meeting.

Taking in view of the Government official’s reluctance to join posting in the CPI-Maoist affected areas, the Chhattisgarh Government is considering a proposal to divide the State into three administrative zones for transfer and posting purposes and make three-year posting in each of them mandatory for all officers and employees, The Pioneer reported. "Either you work in one zone now or three years later but you cannot escape transfer from one region to another after three-year period. People who have been posted in various places of the affected regions for long have grown weary of working in the tense situation and therefore their replacement and new posting in their place is a must for among other things the implementation of the scheme in a time-bound manner in Bastar region,” said an unnamed Government source. The move is aimed at accelerating the development work in areas known for a strong Maoist presence like Bastar, Dantewada, Bijapur, Narayanpur and other Districts, the report added.
