Pakur District Superintendent of Police (SP) Amarjit Balihar (45) and four other Policemen were killed in an ambush by Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist) cadres in Kathikund forest area of Dumka District on July 2, reports The Indian Express. Balihar was returning from a meeting with Deputy Inspector General (DIG) Priya Dubey in Dumka when his vehicle was attacked by Maoists between 2.30 and 3pm. Preliminary reports indicated that Maoists began firing on the convoy from higher ground. There were no reports of any blasts. Four policemen are reported to have suffered serious injuries. The others who were killed have been identified as Ashok Srivastav, Manoj Hembrom, Chandan Thapa and Rajiv Sharma. While three were the SP’s security guards, one was his driver. “It looks like the Maoists went after a soft target. They have suffered major losses in the past few months. We have a massive operation on in Latehar and have made significant progress in Gumla,” said Director General of Police (DGP) Rajeev Kumar. “The spot where the incident took place is about 55 kilometres from Dumka town... The terrain is so bad, it took almost two hours for the first police team to reach the spot,” said DIG (Personnel) Shambhu Thakur.

Shortage of almost 300,000 Police personnel in nine Left Wing Extremism (LWE) affected States is jeopardising the fight against the Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist), reports The Hindu on July 8. Chhattisgarh, Jharkhand, Odisha, Bihar, Andhra Pradesh, Maharashtra, West Bengal, Madhya Pradesh and Uttar Pradesh had 250,000 vacant positions of head constables and constables, while 50,000 posts of inspectors and sub-inspectors need to be filled. Similarly, these States also need over 1,000 Additional Superintendents of Police and Deputy SPs. The highest number of shortage in Police force is in Uttar Pradesh (180,000 personnel), followed by Andhra Pradesh (30,000), West Bengal (29,000), Bihar (16,000), Chhattisgarh (13,000), Jharkhand (10,000), Madhya Pradesh (6,000) and Odisha (2,000). Notably, in Maharashtra, there are 379 various vacant positions in just two LWE-hit Districts of Gadchiroli and Gondia. At last month’s (June) Chief Ministers’ conference on internal security, Union Home Minister Sushilkumar Shinde told these States that they need to fill these vacancies and that the Centre cannot always fulfil their demands for increasing the deployment of paramilitary forces. Currently, over 80,000 personnel, mainly from the CRPF (66 battalions), the BSF (12 battalions) and the ITBP (five battalions), are deployed in the LWE-hit States. For speedy recruitment, the MHA told these States to relax certain recruitment norms and give preference to locals, who can be appointed on contract basis.

The CPI-Maoist hotbed Rajwar hills in Kumandi forests, around 50 kilometres from Latehar District headquarters, was freed from over 30 years of Naxal [Left-Wing Extremism (LWE)] dominance, in an intense 14-day-long operation that ended on July 10, reports The Telegraph.
