Addressing the annual press conference in Hyderabad, Andhra Pradesh police chief P Ramulu said left-wing extremists—Naxalites—of the People’s War Group (PWG) are shifting base to coastal Andhra and other parts of the State because they suffered a major setback in their traditional stronghold, the Telangana region, in 2002. He said a comparative analysis of the pattern of PWG violence over the past two years would prove they have been loosing grip over the Telangana region. An increasing number of their cadres were killed in encounters and in internecine clashes, and several of their leaders were arrested or had surrendered in the region. As a result, the PWG had started shifting base to coastal Andhra and other places in 2022. In addition, there has been a surge of Naxal activity on the Orissa border, too, he said. The strategy of the police to encourage surrenders is also believed to have played a major role in demoralising PWG leaders. In 2002, as many as 544 PWG Naxalites, including three district committee secretaries, surrendered to the police. PWG violence in the State has decreased by 32.12 per cent during 2002 over the previous year. As against 940 offences, including 191 committed during 2001, 638 offences––including 106 murders––were committed in 2002. Naxalites killed 15 police personnel and 16 political leaders in 2002 while the number was 39 and 23 respectively, in 2001. 81 Naxalites of the PWG were killed in encounters while 1,128 were arrested in 2002.

According to media reports, villagers in Maddikunta, Nizamabad district detained three left-wing extremists—Naxalites—of the People’s War Group (PWG) for six hours after the Naxalites disrupted the Janmbhoomi (self help programme) in the village on January 4. Reports said three armed PWG Naxalites came to the village and asked the nodal officers conducting the gram sabha (village meeting) to cancel the meeting and return. After the officials left, womenfolk of the village expressed their ire against the Naxalites accusing them of depriving people of help under various welfare schemes. They demanded that the Naxalites call back the officials and organise the meeting. While detaining the Naxalites, the villagers also accused them of hoarding 10 bags of rice in the name of famine raid and demanded details regarding the rice collected. Warning the Naxalites not to enter the village again, the people later released them. Later, a police team reached the village and conducted the meeting with the concerned officials.

In a statement issued in Hyderabad, CCC convenor SR Shankaran said the CCC had been repeatedly calling upon the PWG to desist from such brutal actions, which led to heavy loss of human lives. Appealing that this sort of violence should end, the committee suggested that democratic dialogue should take place to bring about a peaceful atmosphere without fear and loss of lives in the State.

Three police personnel were killed in a landmine blast triggered by left-wing extremists—Naxalites—of the People’s War Group (PWG). Three Naxalites were killed in subsequent encounter that occurred between Kothur and Dachepalli villages, Guntur district, on January 5. Official sources said the police personnel were escorting three jeeps carrying officials of the State government’s Janmbhoomi (community development) programme when the Naxals triggered the blast. The officials were going to organize a gramsabha (village meeting) in Naxal-affected Kothur village as part of the Janmabhoomi programme. Soon after the landmine blast, over a dozen police personnel, who were part of the escort team, began to fire in the direction from where the Naxals triggered the landmines. During the encounter, three Naxals, including a woman, were killed. Senior police officials, including the State police chief P Ramulu, rushed to the scene and a combing operation has been launched to track down the Naxalites.

A division Bench of the Andhra Pradesh High Court, on January 7, directed a group of experts to conduct postmortem on the bodies of six left-wing extremists—Naxalites—of the People’s War Group (PWG) killed in two encounters on January 5 and 6, in Guntur district. Responding to a petition filed by Andhra Pradesh Civil Liberties Committee general secretary B Seshaiah, complaining that post-mortem was not conducted on the bodies of the slain Naxalites, the Bench made it clear that the said order would be operative, if the bodies have not been already disposed. The court also instructed that the autopsy be conducted only by a team of doctors. The two encounters followed the killing of three constables in a landmine blast on January 5.
