Realising that cellphones are turning out to be their Achilles' heel, the Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist) cadres have now resorted to the ancient mode of communication - letters written in code words, says a top-level CIF ( Counter Insurgency Force) officer in West Bengal, reports The Times of India. Though the Security Forces (SF) are not ready to divulge details of the words they have been successful in decoding, a top-level CIF officer said the Maoist use words like 'ilish maach' (hisha fish) for human target and 'trainer awaz' (sound of the train) to indicate firing by the SFs. Further, Maoists are are frequently changing their codes and strategy. 'Ilish maach' three months back meant 'human target'. But now the same word might stand for something else. "Initially, the letters seemed very irrelevant but gradually we came to understand that all the letters are written in code languages. We could decode some of them," an officer involved in anti-Maoist operation said. When asked about recent position of the rebels in Bengal after the Chhattisgarh massacre, a senior officer said: "Undoubtedly, there are some movements in Purulia, Bankura and West Midnapore but the movements are not that strong. In fact, they are more into building organisation than countering the state force now. They are trying to avoid any kind of confrontation unless they are forced to do so”.

An "internal inquiry commission" of the Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist) has blamed Suchitra Mahato, the surrendered Maoist leader, for the death of politburo member Mallojula Koteswara Rao alias Kishenji in an alleged encounter in Junglemahal area in West Bengal in November 2011, reports The Indian Express on June 9. Branding her as a "traitor", the CPI-Maoist central committee has approved "retaliation" against those involved in the "conspiracy", saying they will be "punished when the time comes". The "inquiry commission" has said Mahato, who was believed to be with Kishenji during his last few days, lured him into a trap laid by Security Forces. The "internal inquiry" has also identified the Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee as "one of the chief conspirators", and warned that she will not be "spared". Significantly, a day after the attack on the Congress rally in Chhattisgarh recently, Banerjee had said, "If I die, there are people to take the Trinamool Congress ahead. I have a hand-picked team of about 90 people who will take the party forward." Her comment was believed to have been provoked by the security threat. Her security has since been stepped up. Four months after Kishenji's death, Mahato surrendered before Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee at Writers Buildings in March 2012.

Alarmed at the growing lethal attacks by the Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist), the Union Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA) has decided to rope in retired Brigadiers to plan and assist in anti-Maoist operations in four Left Wing Extremism (LWE)-affected States — Jharkhand, Chhattisgarh, Odisha and West Bengal, reports The Hindu on June 14. “The issue was discussed at last week’s Chief Ministers’ Conference on internal security where the four States agreed to the proposal, a senior MHA official told The-Hindu. “By next week, we will write to the Ministry of Defence to identify suitable candidates who should have served as Brigadier in the Army’s fighting arm [Infantry]. Once this process is over, a joint interview will be conducted by top officials of the Defence and Home Ministries… we hope to complete the process soon as we want the officers to start operating on the ground within the next couple of months or even earlier.”

Meanwhile, 782 mobile phone towers will be set up across Jharkhand after the Union Cabinet gave its approval, on June 4, for 2,199 locations across nine States affected by Left Wing Extremism (LWE), reports The Pioneer. Villagers, Security Forces (SFs) and development schemes workers have protested alike against the poor mobile connectivity in LWE-hit zones. The Police had demanded at least 700 mobile towers for 207 villages on a priority basis. “Jharkhand has been allotted 782 mobile towers by the Cabinet. They will be installed in consultation with Superintendents of Police and Deputy Commissioners of the Districts,” said Director General of Police (DGP) Rajeev Kumar. Nine States — including Chhattisgarh, Jharkhand, Odisha, Bihar, West Bengal and Maharashtra — will get 2,200 mobile towers by this year-end.

West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee has alleged that the Communist Party of India-Marxist (CPI-M) had joined hands with the Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist) to kill her in a bid to return to power in the State, reports NDTV on June 20. "CPI-M has joined hands with the Maoists in making a blueprint to kill me and to make room for their return to power in West Bengal which will never come off," she said at her first panchayat (village level local self-Government institution) poll campaign, near the border town of Bongaon in North 24-parganas District. She also charged the Marxists for being hand-in-glove with the Congress and the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) in plotting against her.

Ahead of the Panchayat (village level local self-government institution) polls, posters issued in the name of the Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist) were recovered at a few places in Jhargram in West Midnapore District on June 20, reports The Statesman. The posters, which were put up at public places, trees and road-side buildings, have threatened Trinamool Congress (TMC) leaders in Junglemahal (West Midnapore, Bankura and Purulia Districts) saying they would soon be brought before Jana-adalat (public court) where they would be tried. Bharati Ghosh, Superintendent of Police, Jhargram, said: “We’re investigating whether the posters were actually written by Maoists.”

Visiting Junglemahal (West Midnapore, Purulia and Bankura Districts) to showcase her Government’s success in bringing peace in the former Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist)-hit area, West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee on June 26 said that the days of fear were gone and vowed that they would not be allowed to return into the region, reports The Hindu. “Our government has been able to restore peace in junglemahal. This was our challenge and commitment after we came to power,” the Chief Minister told a Panchayat (village level local self-government institution) election meeting here in West Midnapore District. “We will never allow terror to return to Junglemahal,” she said.

The Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF) has stopped using Mine-Protected Vehicles (MPVs) deployed for carrying troops to minimize causalities resulting from Improvised Explosive Device (IED) blasts in Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist)-affected areas, reports The Times of India on June 30. This is the first time that CRPF has issued a complete ban on the use of these four-wheeled armoured vehicles. Close to 50 such armoured vehicles in Maoist hotbeds of Chhattisgarh, Odisha, Jharkhand, West Bengal and Bihar have been rolled inside CRPF camps. These MPVs will be used in rare instances only. "I have issued orders to my formations in the Left Wing Extremism areas to shun the use of the MPVs for patrol and other movements. As a result of this decision, this is the first time that no causalities in IED blasts or from hidden landmines in the first six months this year," said CRPF Director General (DG) Pranay Sahay. The CRPF DG added these vehicles will not be used anymore for jungle patrols and the commanders have been asked to send their patrols only on foot, as part of the standard operating procedures for these areas. "What is the fun in using these vehicles if they are not helping my men? This year we have had no causalities from IED attacks. This is a satisfactory achievement," Sahay asserted.
