Quoting the State Home Ministry officials, Times of India has reported that the Orissa Government plans to deploy 11,000 armed Policemen to combat the insurgency. At least half of these forces would reportedly be ready for on-field operations in the next two years. "The situation is extremely bad. In many interior pockets even Police Stations are closed after dusk and Government officials are avoiding to go to office. Travelling in Malkangiri, Koraput, Rayagada, Gajapati, Kandhamal Districts in particular are shunned by people unless there is emergency," said an unnamed senior Koraput District official. The Director General of Police Manmohan Praharaj said on June 2 that "Geographical location and remoteness of the places are impediments to effective policing there. We have both short and long term plans to counter the Naxal (left-wing extremists) violence."

While unveiling the draft of special action plan sent by the Union Government to combat the Maoist insurgency, the Director General of Police (DGP), Manmohan Praharaj, said on June 5 that fighting Maoists in 17 of the 30 Districts in Orissa has become tough due to a lack of infrastructure, reported Zee News. "We are facing difficulties in training security men to fight Maoists in jungles and difficult terrains of Malkangiri and other places," said the DGP. While rejecting suggestions that Maoists rule over entire Malkangiri, he admitted that "a small part of Malkangiri" close to Andhra Pradesh and Chhattisgarh borders in high altitude remained difficult for the security personnel. "Some places in Malkangiri remain under control of the ultras," he added, saying, "Besides constructing helipads and other facilities, the police are planning to set up security hubs and mobile camps in the region." Of the 17 Maoist affected Districts, Malkangiri and Rayagada would be covered under the special plan, fund for which would be provided by the Union Government. He further said that for tackling the spurt in violence in Malkangiri, one battalion (nearly 1,000 personnel) of Central forces, deployed in northern part of the State, would be mobilised to the southern region mostly in undivided Koraput District. Commenting on a long term solution to the insurgency, Praharaj said besides recruiting about 400 local tribal youths, the State Government was also considering special steps to improve the socio-economic condition of local residents. The DGP also said, "Once the capacity building is complete in Orissa, things will be easy for the security personnel to contain violence in Malkangiri and other places," adding, "No Police informer is killed. They kill innocent people and name the victim as Police informer. We have no informer from among the public."

PTI reports on June 7 that left-wing extremists generate INR 15 billion income through collection of 'levy' in the seven worst affected States of Jharkhand, Chhattisgarh, Andhra Pradesh, Orissa, Bihar, West Bengal and Maharashtra, said security agencies. The extremist’s literature and documents seized by central security agencies and State Police forces during their operations have revealed intricate details of "levy" extorted by groups which run in several hundred crores every year. The 'levy' is not only paid by the contractors working in the areas dominated by the extremists but also by the industrial houses including some of the nationally reputed ones, the officials said. Though the Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist) still remains the prominent Naxalite group in Jharkhand, there are other splinter groups which too have now started imposing 'levy' besides indulging in kidnapping, looting and narcotics trade, which results in around INR 3 billion as annual income from the State.

The Hindu reports that around 70 cadres of the Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist) attacked the Police Station in Baipariguda village in Koraput District and blew it up after forcing Policemen out of the premises in the night of June 7. They also set ablaze several vehicles. Five Policemen were on duty when Maoists attacked the Police Station. "The rebels overpowered the Policemen, forced them out and blew up the building," Deputy Inspector General of Police Sanjeev Panda told IANS. "They also blew up a Police outpost near by, ransacked the local forest office and set fire to nearly seven vehicles, including two Police Jeeps," he added. However, no one was killed or injured in the attack. The Maoists later escaped to the nearby forest. The Maoists left leaflets and posters at the site that claimed the attack was carried out to protest the killing of one of their leaders by the Police in the neighbouring State of Andhra Pradesh.

The Hindu reports that the Union Government will soon launch a new scheme, 'Modernisation of Forest Administration', to improve the forest administration and simultaneously tackle the growing menace of Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist) cadres in Orissa, Jharkhand, Chhattisgarh, Madhya Pradesh and Bihar, said the Union Minister of State for Environment and Forests Jairam Ramesh on June 7. He said as many as 186 tribal-dominated Districts in the country were affected by the Maoist insurgency and that there is a close connection between forest areas and Maoists. These 186 Districts comprise 30 per cent of India's land area and 60 per cent of the country's forest area, the Union Minister noted. "We are working on the details of this scheme and the Centre will extend full financial assistance to the State Governments in implementing it. Andhra Pradesh has not been included in the scheme as it has been relatively successful in tackling the Maoist menace," he added.

According to Indian Express, a ‘divisional commander’ of the Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist) and his wife surrendered before the Orissa Police on June 8. The Ghumusur ‘divisional commander’ Akash alias Dora alias Ghasiram Majhi and his wife Jharana, who is also a Maoist, surrendered before the Raygada District Superintendent of Police. “He was a very senior member in the Maoist hierarchy of Orissa, next only to Sabyasachi Panda, the chief of the rebels in Orissa,” said Sudhanshu Sarangi, Inspector General of Police (anti-Naxal operations). Akash, a resident of Kharikapadar village in Rayagada District, joined the Maoist ranks seven years ago and rose to become the outfit’s Ghumusar division commander a few years ago. “He was involved in over 12 Maoist attacks in the State including several high-profile attacks but of late he had grown disillusioned with the Maoists. We were in touch with and had been trying to persuade him to surrender,” said a senior Police official. Akash will reportedly get homestead land and other benefits as per the Orissa Government’s surrender policy for the insurgents.

According to The Hindu, the Orissa Government has requested the Centre to send four battalions of the para-military Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF) to the State, in the wake of recent Maoist attacks in Koraput and Malkangiri Districts. Presiding over a review meeting, Chief Minister Naveen Patnaik directed to rush more Special Operation Group (SOG), CRPF and other forces to the affected areas to be engaged in an ongoing combing operation. Of the 28 companies of CRPF presently deployed at various places in Orissa, six companies (600 personnel) have already been sent to the troubled region. Patnaik also stressed on training and modernization of the force as part of a long-term action plan to curb the Maoist activities. "The police stations and outposts, which have borne the brunt of ultras recently, will start functioning normally soon," he said.

The Orissa Chief Minister Naveen Patnaik on June 10 accused the Centre of not co-operating with his Government in combating the Maoists, reports Zee News. "We are trying our best to tackle Maoist extremism. But the Centre is not cooperating," Patnaik said replying to an adjournment motion moved by the opposition Congress party on attacks by the Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist), including the blowing up of two Police Stations and an out-post in Koraput District in the night of June 7. "Instead of providing more force to tackle the Maoist violence, the Centre has withdrawn 48 (about 4800 personnel) of the 76 CRPF companies deployed in the state," he said. The Chief Minister claimed that the Government had been successful in utilising funds provided by the Centre for security related expenditure and Police modernisation.

The Telegraph reports that the Centre would consider the Orissa Government’s plan to combat the Maoist (also known as Naxalite) problem in the State, said the Union Home Minister P. Chidambaram at the end of his two-day visit to the State on June 26. “We will examine the suggestions and demands to extend support as much as we can,” he said after holding discussions with Chief Minister Naveen Patnaik and senior Government officials about plans to combat the Left-wing extremism. He emphasised that combating Naxalites was the primary duty of the State Police and the Government should commit more forces to fight Left-wing extremism. The Centre would extend support on the basis of 1:1 ratio, he stated. “For every company of the state police, I will commit one. I had told the Bengal government: ‘You commit one, I will give one’,” Chidambaram said. On whether to use the Army to fight the Maoists, he said: “This requires a police action, who are competent to handle it” Chidambaram said, adding choppers would be provided to Orissa “whenever required”.
