Maoists set ablaze a porcelain machine used in canal construction work in Malkangiri District in the night July 4, reports Times of India. No injury or casualty was reported in the incident, the Police said. According to sources, a group of about 20 Maoists reached near Malkangiri Poteru Village (MPV) 77 village under MV 79 Police limits at around 10 pm and set the vehicle on fire. The Maoists had earlier threatened the contractor engaged with the work not to go ahead with the project, the sources said, adding stalling the work was apparently aimed at preventing Security Forces’ (SFs) from moving into areas under Naxal [Left Wing Extremism] control. The Maoists, however, alleged in a letter that officials concerned are siphoning off huge sums of money in the name of repair of canals in the District, sources added.

The Daily Pioneer reports that in the wake of growing fatalities of Central Reserve Police Force Security (CRPF) Personnel due to Improvised Explosive Devices (IED) blasts by the Left Wing Extremists (LWE), the Security Forces (SFs) formulated a new policy to counter the menace. Its salient features include creation of an IED map and its inclusion in the Key Incident Tracking System (KITS) for ready reference by the Force’s commanders. The IED mapping also entails classification of vulnerable areas into red, green and yellow zones which will be based on the analysis of the incidents and the inputs gathered on the IED situation. "There is a plan to set up an exclusive first-ever school for providing training in handling of IEDs for the country's largest paramilitary force," said an official. According to the plan, army personnel will train a few officers and troopers who are operating in Naxal-hit areas and they would subsequently create a pool of experts in prevention, detection, neutralisation, destruction and disposal of IEDs. Chhattisgarh, Odisha and Jharkhand are the worst affected States in terms of landmines being planted by the Maoists. Various IED tracing devices, including 'dip sticks', used to detect hidden explosives, and sniffer dogs have failed to be foolproof and a number of patrol parties, both on foot and in vehicles, have fallen prey to these deadly explosive devices which are sometimes as heavy as 50 kilograms. According to official data, the IED’s have claimed lives of more than 105 troops in the last five years during anti-Naxal operations. The CRPF has recovered 1,547 sets of IEDs during 2006-11 and the numbers have been increasing over the years, the data added.

The Hindu reports that Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist) cadres killed one person, identified as Bandami Suba, a former Maoist cadre planning to surrender before the Police in Malkangiri District on July 8. A poster recovered from the body said that Suba was killed for working as an informer to the Police. Malkangiri Superintendent of Police, Anirudh Singh confirmed the killing of Suba. According to him it was an effort of the Maoists to terrorise disillusioned Maoist cadres who were planning to surrender before the Police and start normal life. Suba was among five persons abducted at gun point by the Maoists from Potteru village in the MV-79 Police Station limits in the night of July 5. Maoists released three of the abducted persons on July 7. However, the Police are yet to ascertain about the fate of Suresh Bandami, a contractor, who was also abducted by the Maoists.

In another development, State Chief Secretary, Bijay Patnaik said the SPO issue would be examined in the backdrop of the judgment, reports Times of India. "We will examine the Supreme Court order to see whether or not it is applicable for Odisha. There is a degree of difference between SPOs in Odisha and Chhattisgarh. The SPOs in Odisha would be appointed as constables in the future," Patnaik said. A State Government official pointed out the Government not only issued advertisements for the recruitment of SPOs, but in order to give a chance to local tribals to get jobs in their own areas, changed the guidelines for recruitment of Security Forces, reducing the minimum qualification to 8th standard and the standard height from 163 cm to 160 cm. "Earlier though local tribals were recruited as constables, there still remained a big gap in employment needs and opportunities for these people, owing to their educational and economic disadvantages," a Government official said. "Odisha Government spends Rs 30 crore [INR 300 million] on them per annum," the officer said.

The Supreme Court order on appointment of Special Police Officers (SPOs) in neighbouring Chhattisgarh was being examined by the Odisha Government which would give regular appointment to them, reports IBN Live. "The court order may not be applicable for the state. The method of recruitment and engagement of SPOs in Orissa is totally different from Chhattisgarh," Chief Secretary B. K. Patnaik said on July 28. SPOs appointed in tribal-dominated districts in Orissa did not directly confront Maoists and would be taken as regular constables after completion of a three-year tenure, he said. The youths appointed as SPOs in tribal areas received an opportunity to remain in mainstream instead of joining the Maoist brigade, he said. As many as 4,500 youths have so far been appointed as SPOs in the State and the Government was not averse to recruit more, a home department official said.

This was decided at a meeting of the home department chaired by Chief Minister Naveen Patnaik, official sources said. "Besides strengthening SOG, we have also sought more jawans [troopers] from the central para-military force (CPMF)," Home Secretary U N Behera told reporters after the meeting. SOG now has 50 units and another 35 units would be added to increase its strength, he said. The State Government also decided to raise a special State Industrial Security Force along the lines of CISF. "The crime branch of police, which had been dealing with important crimes, would now have an economic offence wing," he said. Besides, 788 vacant posts of Police officers and about 5,200 posts of constables would be filled this year. Behera said the Government has also decided to regularize the service of the Special Police Officers (SPOs) who have completed three years in service. At least 12 battalions of CPMF are now deployed in the State while two more battalions could arrive here soon, the sources said.
