SFs neutralised a Maoist training camp and four bunkers at different places in the Saniya forest in Latehar District and recovered a huge cache of explosives, Maoist literature, uniform, slings, detonators, ready-to-eat-food and food grain from the training camp and bunkers. The recoveries include 12 Chinese grenades and 36 Improvised Explosive Devices (IED), 100 kilograms of gun powder kept in two bags, a couple of country-made pistols and equal number of rifles. Around 1,400-metre wire, a detonating cord generally used in mining, electric wire and detonators were also recovered during the operation. Confirming the recovery, IG Mallik said the SFs had been combing in the area for the past few days to ensure the release of Suresh Ram, the abducted bodyguard of Garhwa District Council chairperson Sushma Mehta. The Maoists had abducted Mehta along with Ram and her two associates on January 21. Three days later Mehta and her two associates were released. "The amount of ready-to-eat-food and food grain seized from the training camp and bunkers show that at least 50 rebels used to stay there," said a source.

Three Policemen, including an Assistant Sub-Inspector, were killed and five others got injured when Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist) cadres triggered a landmine blast near an under-construction diversion on National Highway-99 close to Balumath Police Station in Latehar District around 6pm on February 1, reports The Times of India. The Policemen were going in two jeeps from Chandwa to Balumath, around 75 kilometres from Ranchi. Since it was dark and the Maoists continued to fire at regular intervals it was difficult for the Security Forces (SFs) to launch a rescue operation. The condition of one of the injured is said to be serious.

Union Home Minister P Chidambaram on February 7 said that despite alarming escalation in Communist Party of India (CPI-Maoist) violence in Jharkhand, no serious effort has been made by the State Government to deal with the Left Wing Extremists (LWEs), reports Oneindia.in quoting PTI. In a letter to Chief Minister Arjun Munda, Chidambaram said Jharkhand became the most affected State in Naxal violence in 2011 and the situation there was a "major cause for concern". He asked Munda to galvanise the State Police leadership to take more pro-active steps. "Anti-Naxal operations in 2011 have been unfortunately ineffective. No serious efforts appear to have been made to launch a counter offensive when security forces personnel were killed by the CPI (Maoist)," Chidambaram said in the recent letter. Further, Jharkhand is the only LWE-affected State which has reported more snatching of arms in 2011 compared to the previous year. "Two top CPI (Maoist) leaders - Prashanto Bose alias Kishan da and Mihir Besra - are very active in the State, according to intelligence reports," the letter said. Chidambaram told Munda that the increase in Maoist activities were manifested by the alarming increase in the number of 'Jan Adalats' (so called people's courts) - 53 in 2011 compared to 25 in 2010. Through these Jan Adalats, the extremists have created a wave of terror amongst the people by publicly punishing those who 'disobey' their 'writ' in the State, he said.

"The railway is eager to accelerate this important project, but extremists have hampered its progress. We do have deadlines, but these often change owing to extremists' interference at the construction sites. We have no option since extremism is beyond our control but we are trying our level best to hurry up on the project as this new rail line section will connect to Kotsila and open various ways to connect Delhi and several other major cities saving over four hours," said the GM.
