A woman, whose identity is yet to be ascertained, was found killed by cadres of the Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist) near MV-90 village under Kalimela Police Station in the Malkangiri District on August 19, reports The Hindu. The murder is suspected to have occurred in the early hours of August 17. As per the handwritten pamphlet in Oriya language left by the Maoists near her body, the name of the deceased was Kamala. However, the Maoists had not mentioned the place from where she hailed. They threatened that anyone who helped the Police would face similar consequences. The Malkangiri Superintendent of Police (SP) Satyabrata Bhoi said, "How can this woman be a Police informer when no one in the area is able to identify her?" The SP said the age of the slain woman hinted that she may be a CPI-Maoist cadre who had got disenchanted and escaped from their camp. "Suspecting that she may surrender and spill vital information about the Maoist activities, the leftist ultras may have killed her," he added.

Telegraph adds that the CPI-Maoist has called for a two-day bandh (shutdown), beginning from the midnight of August 23, in the States of Jharkhand, Bihar, Bengal, Orissa and Chhattisgarh to protest against the arrest of its politburo member Anil and central committee member Kartik. Party leader Kishanji told media that the duo was arrested on August 19 while they were traveling in a train from Ranchi to Patna, the capital of Bihar. “We don’t know their whereabouts as they have not been produced in court by the police till now,” Kishanji said. However, denying the arrest of the extremists, the Director General of Police (Jharkhand) V.D. Ram said, “This is not the first time we are facing a meaningless bandh. We will take all precautions taken during rebel-sponsored bandhs. If we had such a big breakthrough, we would have informed everyone.” Meanwhile, security has been put on high alert in the State.

Daily News Analysis reports that more than 25,000 paramilitary personnel will be deployed from November 2009 in the forests of three Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist)-infested States - Jharkhand, Chhattisgarh and Orissa -, to launch operation against the extremists. The troops will lay siege to about 7,000 square kilometres in the tri-junction between Jharkhand, Chhattisgarh and Orissa. It is from there that the Maoists freely move across seven States for attacks, and it is there that they mostly return for safety. Sources said around 12,000 of the personnel for deployment will be from Jammu and Kashmir. Another major chunk, of about 7,000, will come from Tripura and Mizoram, where they are already fighting insurgency. At present, the number of security personnel in the Maoist tri-junction is 25,000 while the total deployment in Maoist-infested states is 35,000. The 35,000 personnel cover an area of over 39,000 square kilometres. "The broad plan is to surround and secure the area slowly. The greatest difficulty personnel face is the vast stretch of area that has to be covered, but there is a lack of manpower," said an unnamed senior home ministry official. He said they suspect that most of the major Maoist attacks are planned in the forests of this region in the tri-junction. Apart from the Central Reserve Police Force, the Centre has roped in the Border Security Force and the Indo-Tibetan Border Police to secure the area.

The Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist) on August 25 called off the 48-hour bandh (shut down) in five States - Jharkhand, Orissa, Bihar, West Bengal and Chhattisgarh. In a press statement issued through short message service, Maoist politburo member Kishanji stated that the indefinite bandh was called off after Anilji and Kartik were produced in a court at Ranchi, Capital of Jharkhand, by the Jharkhand Police on August 25, The Hindu reported. Times of India quoted Kishanji as saying, “We had called the bandh to force the police (Jharkhand) to admit that they had arrested two of our comrades and produce them in Ranchi court before 5pm on Tuesday. Since they produced them an hour before 5pm, we are calling off the strike.’’ A 48-hour bandh was called on August 24 in these five States as Kishanji had claimed that Purnendu Mukherjee alias Anilji, politburo member of the CPI-Maoist, and Kartik, a central committee member, were arrested from near the Patna (capital of Bihar) junction while boarding a train on August 18, but were not produced in court. It was also declared that it would continue indefinitely in Bihar and Jharkhand until the arrested Maoists were produced in court.
