Hundreds of posters prepared by the Union Home Ministry have been put up in Rayagada District of Odisha to wean youths away from the Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist), reports The Times of India. The posters were spotted in villages of Muniguda block (administrative division) on August 1 and focus on the sufferings of those involved with the Maoists. "Maoists target rural youths because they can be easily lured into the extremist movement. So to make the rural youths aware about the evils of the Maoist organization, the posters have been put up," said a senior Police officer posted in Rayagada District. In the poster, a tribal youth narrates about his torture in the Maoist camp after joining the Maoists. "I was a poor and unemployed youth, so I joined the Maoist organization. I took part in several Maoist offensives, murdered people, exploded several government buildings but still I am poor. I am unable to send my children to school and plough my land," read a poster pasted at the Muniguda block headquarters. "I am being controlled by others and have lost my liberty. Now I hate violence and want to lead a normal life. I want to appeal to all my fellow villagers not to allow Maoists into their respective villages and not to join their organization as it will only increase their sufferings," it added.

a 17-year old girl, who had joined the Maoists two years ago, surrendered before Angul Police after being disillusioned at the camp, reports The Times of India. "Life is quite boring in the Maoist camp," said Budhuni Munda alias Shanti, who used to carry luggage of other members. Shanti of Barunadihi village on the Keonjhar-Jajpur border had joined the Maoist camp in September 2010 when Sushil, ‘area commander’ of Kalinganagar Maoist division, was on a recruitment drive for the Maoist unit headed by him. She said she was never sexually abused nor directly committed any crime.

according to a report in The Times of India, Maoists are setting up parallel governments, janata sarkars, in the interior pockets of Andhra-Orissa Border (AOB), buoyed by the success of a similar exercise in the Dandakaranya region of Chhattisgarh. The Gumma area committee in Malkangiri District set up a janata sarkar in the interior villages of AOB on August 5 when the Maoists distributed rice to 800 tribal families. The rice was reportedly collected from contractors and businessmen. They assured the tribals that they would construct cement concrete roads to the interior villages and appoint teachers to the schools with their own funds. They also assured the tribals that medical facilities in PHCs (public health centre) would be provided by them very soon. Gumma area committee secretary Rukdhar, top leader Golla Ravi alias Madhav alias Sridhar along with five other key leaders were present at the rice distribution programme, sources said. The tribal welfare programmes would be implemented regularly, Maoist leader Rukdhar said. He said that education was a basic necessity to develop the tribal areas and stated that he would appoint doctors to provide necessary medicines to the tribals, who are susceptible to malaria and other water-borne diseases. "All these facilities are provided by us in the forests of Dantewada, Bijapur and Sukma districts in Chhattigarh," he told the gathering.

The Security Force (SF) personnel found three landmines near Sikhapalli weekly market within Malkangiri Police limits in Malkangiri District on August 8, reports The Times of India. "The Maoists [Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist)] had planted landmines targeting Boder Security Force (BSF) and Special Operation Group (SOG) personnel because the spot is used by jawans to rest during combing operations," Superintendent of Police (Malkangiri) Akhilesh Singh said. He said all the three landmines would have exploded at the same time because they had a single connection. "We could not recover the landmines because it was already evening. The explosives will be defused on Thursday," he said. Meanwhile, security has also been tightened in Malkangiri District for Kranti Diwas that the Maoists celebrate in memory leader Kranti Ranveer, who was killed in Police firing while attacking Motu Police Station on August 9, 2001.

The latest situation report on the Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist) prepared by the State Government indicates that the Maoists are importing cadres from neighbouring Chhattisgarh and Jharkhand to the Sambalpur-Deogarh-Sundargarh (SDS) Division, reports The Pioneer. They are trying hard to revive the SDS Division, which has been in limbo after the tough action initiated by the Police. According to sources, young boys and girls of these areas are reluctant to join the Maoist organisation, for which the top CPI-Maoist bosses have asked trained cadres from the neighbouring States to strengthen the SDS Division. While violence by the Bansadhara, Ghumusara and Kalinga Nagar Divisions of the CPI-Maoist is under control, the Maoist continue to pose problems for Security Forces (SFs) in Nuapada, Bolangir and Bargarh Districts, where they are reportedly on a spree of expansion activities, said sources. According to statistics, 71 incidents of Maoist violence have occurred in the State taking a toll of 18 civilian lives and 12 SF personnel till the end of July this year. Killing of civilians has been the highest in Koraput District where nine people were slain by Maoists this year, closely followed by Malkangiri, where five civilians were killed. SFs arrested 98 Maoists while 16 surrendered this year till last July.

The Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist) has expelled its top Odisha leader, Sabyasachi Panda alias Sunil, saying he betrayed the group and the “great cause of the toiling masses”, reports The Indian Express. The 43-year-old Panda, who has a bounty of INR 2 million on his head, was the secretary of the Odisha State Organising Committee of the CPI-Maoist and operated in Rayagada, Gajapati, Kandhamal and Ganjam Districts. He is the main accused in the 2008 killing of Vishwa Hindu Parishad (VHP) leader Laxmanananda Saraswati, which led to riots in Kandhamal. He was also responsible for the abduction of two Italians in March this year. “Our central committee is expelling Sabyasachi Panda from the party and declaring the fact to our party comrades in Orissa, the entire revolutionary masses and the revolutionary camp in our country. We are appealing to the Orissa comrades, mass organisations and revolutionary-democratic masses to condemn Panda’s enemy-like opportunistic stand towards our party, movement and leadership,” said a press release issued on August 10 by Katakam Sudarshan alias Anand, politburo member, on behalf of central committee. Panda’s expulsion came a month after he wrote a 16-page letter to CPI-Maoist general secretary Muppala Lakshmana Rao alias Ganapathy, saying the Maoists were resorting to mindless violence. He had also released the letter to the media. Referring to Panda’s charges, the CPI-Maoist said he was in league with the ruling classes and hurled baseless allegations. “He released this letter with the evil intention of liquidating the party and the revolutionary movement,” the release said. Sources said a Telugu cadre may replace Panda to bring cohesion in the Maoist rank and file in Odisha. Police sources said Panda, however, may have already severed his ties by forming the Odisha Maovadi Party.

Gopu Gopikrishna alias Sandesh alias Suryam, a Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist) leader, was arrested by the Visakhapatnam (Andhra Pradesh) rural Police from Malkangiri District in Odisha on August 12, reports The Times of India.

Sources added that the Maoists have formed a committee and focused on the Bonda-Gupteswar area so that their cadres can travel without any hassles into Odisha and Chhattisgarh.

Two days after the Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist) said it had expelled him from the party, Sabyasachi Panda, former secretary of the Odisha State Organising Committee of the CPI-Maoist, on August 12 said the party should "review its actions, admit mistakes and mend itself", reports The Times of India. "The party will be doomed if it doesn't do so," he warned. In an audio tape circulated to media persons, Panda said he had no ties with the CPI-Maoist since last seven months and had formed a new outfit, Odisha Maoist Party. "We don't believe in violent confrontation with adversaries," he said, condemning the "mindless violence" being perpetrated by the CPI-Maoist. In the past few weeks, he had released two audio tapes to the media identifying himself as secretary of the Odisha Maoist Party, but didn't say anything about his severing ties with the CPI-Maoist. The latest statement came close on the heels of the CPI-Maoist expelling him on the grounds that he was a "renegade" who had an "enemy-like opportunistic stand on the outfit as also the movement and leadership". Panda's wife Subhashree, released from jail in April 2012, said her husband faced threats from the CPI-Maoist as well as from Security Forces. She had earlier said Panda could surrender if the Government withdraws cases against him. However, Panda hasn't said anything about his possible surrender.
