The villagers' assured that henceforth they would not allow the entry of Maoists into their villages, said District Superintendent of Police Diptesh Patnaik, adding, that the area was infested with Maoists. Even though it is not possible to provide security to each and every individual, the villagers' cooperation will ensure a sense of security and safety. If the villagers do not cooperate with the Maoists, the insurgents have to retreat, he added. Earlier, several residents belonging to Mahupada, Langalakata, Jharbeda, Sanbalijore and Rehlatur villages had taken shelter in K Balang since December 10 after Maoists had issued whip to either support them or face death penalty.

The extremists were believed to have planted the landmine beneath a culvert to restrict the force movement on combing operation, continuing for two days following Maoists attack at Relhatur, a nearby village, on December 19. The Maoists reportedly had damaged three Government buildings, including the local panchayat (village level local self Government situation) office, at Relhatur. Around 100 armed Maoists stormed into Relhatur village and blew up the panchayat office and its adjoining panchayat store building. An eyewitness said the Maoists were shouting anti-Government slogans, daring villagers to call the Police. The extremists also pasted hand written posters at nearby villages of Rengeda and Topadih. The people of Mahupada, Jharbeda, Relhatur, Sanbalijore and Nangalkata village had earlier left their houses out of fear and staged a dharna (protest) before K Balang Police Station and NH No 215 demanding security. The villagers had returned only three days ago, after security camps were opened in their villages. The District administration had held a “civil action” programme at Relhatur on December 17 and announced several development programmes and appealed to villagers to cooperate with police to tackle the menace in their area. Superintendent of Police (Rourkela) Diptesh Patnaik said additional Police force with senior officers will be rushed to Relhatur and joint combing operation will be intensified.

A landmine, triggered by the Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist) cadres, blew up the parapets of a culvert on NH 215 in the Bonai sub-division of Sundargarh District on December 20, reports Express Buzz. The blast appeared to be another attempt by the Maoists to make their presence felt amid mounting pressure from the Security Forces combing the area with the help of local tribals. The blast took place around noon and was targeted at a location close to a forested hilly terrain. The explosion was not powerful and it left only the parapets damaged. The expressway is a key link between Rajamunda and Panikoili. Normal vehicular traffic, however, continued. Rourkela Superintendent of Police Diptesh Patnaik played down the incident, by saying that the Security Forces are working overtime to sanities the areas.

Speaking to The Hindu, the Superintendent of Police (Rayagada) Ashis Kumar Singh said recently the Maoist leaders in Orissa were not letting their women cadres from Orissa to marry any other cadre from the State. “The Maoists have the fear that such marriages lead to surrenders, which has happened in the past. This year two married Maoist couples had surrendered in Rayagada District,” he said. In recent times Maoists from Chhattisgarh are being deputed to work in south Orissa by the Naxal outfit. According to the confession of Laxmi, the Maoist leaders have started to compel women cadres of marriageable age to marry these Maoists from Chhattisgarh. As both would be from separate States the man from Chhattisgarh would not agree to surrender in Orissa and it would be hard for the poor woman to escape from the clutches of Maoists and her hardcore Maoist husband from Chhattisgarh.
