The Security Forces (SFs) on December 2 recovered a landmine planted beneath a culvert at Zarzari village under Bishnugarh Police Station of Hazaribgah District, reports Times of India. Briefing the media, Deputy Commissioner-cum District Returning Officer Vinay Kumar Choubey said that the SFs recovered the landmine weighing 50 kilograms while patrolling the Bishnugarh-Gomia road. The officer said that the SF personnel, who were patrolling the area on foot, heard the sound of an explosion and saw smoke billowing out of the culvert. Subsequently, they conducted a thorough search of the culvert and found the landmine lying underneath it. A bomb squad, which accompanied the SFs, immediately deactivated the landmine, he added. Choubey said that the SFs also recovered a pair of shoes and slippers from the spot which the Communist party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist) had probably left behind after planting the landmine. "A major mishap seems to have been averted as polling personnel were supposed to return from the same route along with electronic voting machines (EVMs) after the commencement of polls," he added. He said that polling personnel and SFs, who were supposed to cross the Maoist-hit areas under the Bishnugarh Police Station of the District, were advised to move on foot as a precautionary measure. The Police have launched a massive combing operation in the area, he added.

The Communist party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist) cadres blocked a street in the Chakuliya area of East Singhbhum District in the morning of December 3 bringing the traffic movement on the street to a standstill for hours, reports Times of India. The local Police and the paramilitary forces removed the blockade at around 2pm (IST) after which the normal traffic resumed on the road. "The Maoists had blocked the Seeshakundh-Chakuliya link road by placing a felled tree in the midst of the street at Zoram. They had also laid some 100-odd bricks on the street," Sub Divisional Police Officer (SDPO) of Ghatsila Anup Virtherey said. In the morning, the Police received information that suspected Maoists had blocked a street in Chakuliya. The Police rushed to the spot immediately. Later, the local Police and some Central reserve Police Force personnel removed the blockade with ease, Virtherey said. "The motive behind the blockade appears to instil fear among villagers so that they do not take part in the poll exercise. This assumption gains credence since the Maoists left behind posters warning people not to take part in polling," the SDPO said.

Security Forces killed two Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist) cadres in a fierce gun battle in Ranchi District on December 11, according to CNN-IBN. The SFs fired 500 rounds of bullets and also lobbed grenades. A huge cache of arms and ammunition including 200 kilograms of explosives, 100 detonators and 30 kilograms can bombs were also recovered. However, Times of India reported that Police busted a Maoist camp killing one extremist and injuring three others. The incident occurred at Anteorda village at the tri-junction of Ranchi, Seraikela and West Singhbhum Districts. "Police fired around 500 rounds, used four high explosives, 14 hand grenades in which one Maoist was killed while three were reportedly injured and the camp was busted by police," Ranchi Senior Superintendent of Police Praveen Kumar. "Around 70 Maoists took advantage of the low visibility and managed to flee through a small stream. But local people confirmed that Maoists were spotted taking their injured counterparts with them," he added. "Police recovered two single-barrel guns, one double-barrel gun, 200 kg ammonium nitrate, 200 kg semi-liquid explosive gel, two landmines weighing 30 kg, 200 detonators, 50 metre codex wire, 100 Duracell batteries, 25 camera flashes," said Kumar. Among other things recovered by Police were several kilograms of food grain meant for nearly 70 people, cooked food, 15 rucksacks of medicines for cerebral malaria, first aid kits and 200 soap cases to be used for making country-made bombs and two large barbed wire cutters. "The IAF helicopter was largely used during a recce mission to guide the movement of security men through the thick jungle," said Kumar, adding that a company of Security Forces will move into the forest in the morning of December 12 (today). "Looking at the recoveries, it appears that Maoists were planning a major attack during the ongoing election or attack police pickets or a camp of security forces," he added.

Police foiled Maoists' bid to assassinate All Jharkhand Students' Union (AJSU) nominee Kuldip Ganjhu, who is contesting the Assembly elections from the Simaria constituency in Chatra District, which is scheduled to go for polls in the fifth phase on December 18. Acting on a specific information, a police team took Ganjhu in custody at Pathalgada where he had gone to address an election meeting on December 12 along with Roshan Lal Choudhury, the brother of former state minister Chandra Prakash Choudhury. According to an official report received on December 13, the Police picked up Ganjhu from Pathalgada under the Simaria constituency and took him to an undisclosed destination to save his life. The Police claimed that Maoists had deployed two sharpshooters to eliminate Ganjhu, a former ‘sub-zonal commander’ of the erstwhile Maoist Communist Centre, which is now known as the CPI-Maoist. They added that Ganjhu's decision to contest the Assembly election had angered Maoists, who tried their best to keep him off the polls. The then Hazaribagh Superintendent of Police, Anurag Gupta, had arrested Ganjhu from his native village in 2003. The Police had also recovered a huge sum of money and arms from his possession. Ganjhu was released from jail on bail about nine months ago. Police said that Ganjhu was later dropped at his residence in Simaria village, where has also been provided with police security.

A Maoist ideologue who has been associated with the Maoist movement in Jharkhand for 30 long years admits there are acute differences within the party. While the young cadres endorse armed action, the Maoist leadership is contemplating “whether entering the political mainstream and working in social sectors in the villages will help draw more people” into the CPI-Maoist fold, the leader told IANS. This is particularly so because the Indian Government has threatened a crackdown on the Maoists, and the Police and Army have already stepped up anti-Maoist operations. The leader, originally from West Bengal, who spoke to IANS near Ghatshila in the East Singhbhum District, is attached to the Communist Party of India-Marxist-Leninist (CPI-ML), which gave up violence for electoral politics in the early 1980s. “A new revolution is not possible at this stage - neither nationally nor internationally,” he said, adding, “This is making the young armed insurrectionists in the state a little frustrated, impatient and restive. The dialectical debate has also forced a section of the Maoist leaders to surrender and join mainstream politics this time. The trend actually began a couple of years ago.”

the CPI-Maoist has announced Police Pratirodh Divas (Police Resistance Day) on December 27 and 28 in protest against the death of villagers in a blast that was targeted at Security Force personnel in Amjore village, Patamda, last month. The Maoists on December 15 launched a poster campaign at Nimdih and Patamda in adjoining Seraikela-Kharsawan and East Singhbhum Districts, accusing the Police and Central reserve Police Force (CRPF) of forcing villagers to run errands for them. The posters also demanded INR 10 lakh compensation for the next of kin of the deceased, besides an unconditional public apology. As reported earlier, on November 27, the Maoists had planted a pressure bomb under the felled trunk of a tree in Amjore to blow up a security convoy. But a team of CRPF personnel and Policemen — returning to their Jamshedpur base camp after the first phase of election in Patamda — forced a group of villagers to clear the road. As soon as they lifted the tree trunk, the IED went off, killing three. The same day East Singhbhum Superintendent of Police Naveen Kumar Singh declared a compensation of INR 1 lakh and Government job for the kin of the deceased. Cheques were handed over the next day while Singh said job would be provided at the earliest. Intelligence sources said that by demanding 10 times the compensation given by the administration, the Maoists were trying to gain foothold in pockets where it had no or little influence. The Seraikela-Kharsawan Superintendent of Police Abhishek said: “We are keeping close watch. No rebel programme will be allowed in Seraikela-Kharsawan.”

A Government high school at Tiskopi under Gomia Police Station in Bokaro District was blown up late in the night of December 17, reports Times of India. Though 10 rooms of the school were damaged, there were no casualties reported. As many as seven blasts were triggered by the Maoists to demolish the school building. Sources said Maoists had earlier threatened the school management to stop allowing Security Force (SF) personnel, who used the school as camps during the anti-Maoist operations, to stay there. Still, the SFs again camped at the school for the third phase of the Assembly election that concluded on December 8. After they left the building a couple of days back, 50 armed Maoists came to the school at around 11pm (IST) and detonated the landmines. Before leaving, they put up posters on the walls of the school, describing the explosion as revenge taken by them against Police personnel using schools as a camp. Another school was blown up in the Kawal village of Palamau District. Maoists also blew up a small bridge near Kahkula and Seriyar villages in the same District.

The Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist) cadres have started threatening gram pradhans (village heads) and chowkidars (guards) with dire consequences if any member of the CPI-Maoist outfit is arrested or if police raid their hideouts, reports Times of India. The Maoists through posters put up at several villages under Shikaripara block (administrative division) of Dumka District, have threatened that village heads and chowkidars would be killed under the above-mentioned circumstances for being Police informers. Maoist posters were seen at various places in the three villages of Haripur, Maluti and Pinargarhia, which are considered to be Maoist strongholds. The CP-Maoist move to declare punitive action against the village heads and chowkidars is being viewed here as its modus operandi to persuade them to convince the common villagers being in regular touch to refrain from being Police informers by holding them directly responsible in case of an arrest or any other move by Police against it.
