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.

According to The Hindu, three railway officials, abducted by suspected cadres of Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist) on May 12, were rescued on May 14 after an intensive combing operation in the forests of Amjharia in the Hazaribagh District, 140 km from Ranchi. “Station Master Lalit Prasad, Deputy Station Master Sushil Kumar Tete and Assistant Station Master Anil Kumar of Hendigir railway station of the East-Central Railways have been rescued unharmed,” Superintendent of Police (SP) Pankaj Kamboj told journalists. During the combing operation, the kidnappers saw the police approaching and started firing. After retaliatory action, all of them fled leaving the officials behind, he said. The abductors, who claimed to be Maoists, could belong to either the Jharkhand Prastuti Committee (JPC) or Tritiya Prastuti Committee (TPC), breakaway groups of the CPI-Maoist, the SP said. Three rifles, two country-made revolvers, six live cartridges, four cell phones and explosive materials were recovered from the spot.

According to Telegraph, the diktat by the Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist) to tendu leaf (leaves of diospyros melonoxylon used for rolling bidis) traders in Ghatshila sub-divisional villages in East Singhbhum District to pay an enhanced rate has caused economic hardship to the tribals. As the traders are not ready to obey the diktat, tribals, who collect tendu leaves on a daily basis during the season from April to June, are left with no buyers since the Maoists have set ablaze three depots of tendu leaves in the Sukhlara panchayat (village-level local self Government institution) under MGM Police Station, Jhanti Jharna and Karadoba panchayats in the Ghatshila Police Station area.

Telegraph reports that two persons, identified as Paswar and Maqsood, were beaten to death by cadres of the Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist) at Banbar village under Bhandaria Police station in Garhwa District in the evening of May 23. According to Garhwa Superintendent Police (SP) Saket Singh, the Maoists first asked Paswar to provide them with a 9-mm pistol. When he pleaded his inability to do so, he was beaten to death with lathis (batons). Maqsood, too, was beaten to death in a similar way. A handbill left by the Maoists at the spot stated that Maqsood used to extort money in the name of their party organisation and that he was also a rapist. “Maqsood was a notorious criminal. He was released from jail about a month ago. But on what basis did the rebels demand a 9mm pistol from Paswar is rather intriguing. Both cases are being investigated,” said the SP over phone.

On May 28, the Security Force (SF) personnel following an encounter arrested nine Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist) cadres and recovered three rifles, can bombs, uniforms and urea in the Ulung village under Rania Police Station area of Khunti District, reports Telegraph. The encounter took place when a joint team of Police and Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF) engaged in a long-range patrolling were fired upon by the Maoists at around 9.30am. The encounter, involving 40 SF personnel and some 200 Maoists, reportedly continued for 45-minutes. According to the Superintendent of Police of Khunti, Prabhat Kumar, “One out of the three rifles seized was a .303-rifle that is used by the Jharkhand Police personnel. Rebels must have looted the gun from a Police outpost. However, we are not sure from where,” adding, “three can bombs were recovered but we are yet to count the number of uniforms recovered. Besides, we have also recovered empty canvas kit bags used to carry all the equipment.” He also said that “As an exchange began, the rebels were left with little option other than escape into the nearby village (Ulung).” After the Maoists stopped firing, Police cordoned off the village and carried out a search operation that carried on till 5pm in the evening. “Afterwards, we drew out eight persons who were neither Ulung residents nor related to the villagers. After a brief inquiry, we ascertained that they were rebels and then mounted pressure on them to help recover arms, ammunition and uniforms from the area. While returning from the village, we arrested one more, a man who doubled up as an informer,” he added.

Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist) infested regions to enable them earn a livelihood and join the mainstream. About 250 youths from the insurgency-affected areas are presently being trained for recruitment in the army, paramilitary forces and Jharkhand Police. According to the Superintendent of Police in Ranchi, Praveen Kumar, the initiative is sure to break the local support base of the Maoists, who recruit a large number of local youth every year. "Our main concentration was rural areas. Because we know that those living in big cities will get this opportunity anytime because of their geographical location. But those living in villages don't even have access to newspapers and basic information. There are many unemployed youth who are school dropouts and are idle. They do not even try or don't have the right channel to do anything," Kumar said, adding, “According to my personal observation, all this has created a furore among the Maoists because they are aware that this initiative would lead to eradication of their local support base."
