Superintendent of Police (SP) in Khammam District, Mahesh M. Bhagwat, said while launching a special programme to encourage surrender of the left-wing extremists that some 159 left-wing extremists, including 60 Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist) commanders and squad members, were arrested in the District during 2008, The Hindu reported. 42 left-wing extremists, including eight underground activists of the rank of the District and zonal secretaries and three dalam commanders and 29 dalam cadres, were among those who surrendered in 2008, he said, adding, the Praja Pratighatana faction of the CPI-ML accounted for the highest number of 28 surrenders and 56 arrests and the Godavariloya sub-faction of the Praja Pratightana faction of the CPI-ML was more or less non-existent with the surrender of some important members on December 31.

On January 6, Prime Minister Dr Manmohan Singh said the left-wing extremists are posing challenges of a "different" nature because of change in their ethos, The Hindu reported. "Left-wing extremism has been in vogue for four decades now, but the danger is that over time the nature of the movement has substantially altered. From an ideologically driven movement it has been transformed into one in which military ethos has become predominant," Singh said while addressing the conference of Chief Ministers in New Delhi. He also said the Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist) “is perhaps the only militant organisation in the country which has its own guerrilla army, though as yet, this is of modest proportions. It is perhaps the only militant body today which has a rigid organisational structure. They also have some rudimentary capabilities to manufacture arms. They show increasing sophistication in the way they carry out attacks.”

Reviewing the progress of the Pradhanmantri Gram Sadak Yojana (PMGSY, Prime Minister’s Village Road Construction Scheme), the Minister for Panchayat (village-level self-Government institution) and Rural Development, Ram Vichar Netam, said in capital Raipur the State Government is facing difficulties in implementing the PMGSY in the Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist) affected areas, leading to delay in taking up construction of 441 roads in the State, reports Indian Express on January 7. “Construction of roads in remote Naxalite (left-wing extremist) areas has to be taken up on a priority basis. We will seek the help of Police and para-military personnel to provide Security cover, wherever necessary,” Netam said. More than INR 3.09 billion has been earmarked for the construction of these 441 roads under the PMGSY in the Maoist affected areas but the work either did not begin, or had to be abandoned at some places following threat from the insurgents.

The Hindu reports that a left-wing extremist group called ‘Jharkhand Badshah’ entered a brick kiln at Raichhapala in Sundargarh District on Orissa-Jharkhand border in the night of January 6 and asked the manager to pay INR One million within 24 hours. The group, which had about eight members armed with pistols, also threatened the manager with dire consequences if its demand was not met or the Police was informed.

17 out of the 30 districts of Orissa are affected by left-wing extremist violence at present, Chief Minister Naveen Patnaik said at a meeting of the Chief Ministers of seven Maoist-affected States at New Delhi on January 7, Kalinga Times reported. While Patnaik claimed that his Government had taken a series of measures to contain the insurgency, he said that there was an upsurge in Maoist violence during 2008. The Chief Minister requested the Centre to provide a dedicated helicopter to Orissa for aerial reconnaissance of Maoist-affected areas and for evacuation of injured troops and quick movement of the Security Forces. He also requested the Centre for deployment of six more battalions of the Central Reserve Police Force in the Maoist-affected Districts to effectively control the problem.

In two separate incidents, four persons, including three SPOs, were killed by the Maoists in Bijapur District on January 7. District Superintendent of Police J.S. Watti said suspected left-wing extremists had killed three persons, including two SPOs, in Aramangi village and one SPO in the Belchar village. According to him, the CPI-Maoist cadres are increasingly targeting Policemen and SPOs in Bijapur District "out of desperation." He added: "They are selectively killing Police and SPOs to create a reign of terror in the District as we have eliminated 11 hardcore Naxalites (left-wing extremists) in recent months."

On January 12, The Hindu, quoting the Narcotics Control Bureau (NCB) officials, reported that large scale illegal cultivation of opium and ganja (marijuana) takes place in the left-wing extremist affected areas especially in States like Bihar, Jharkhand and West Bengal. It also said that at places where the Maoists do not directly get involved in the illicit cultivation, they charge money for providing protection to those involved in the practice. “Illicit cultivation does take place especially in those areas where the local administration is not strong enough. Three main States where it takes place as per the inputs that we receive are Bihar, Jharkhand and West Bengal,” an unnamed senior NCB official said. Zee News adds that of the total 107825 kilograms of ganja seized in the country in 2007, the States where it was seized in heavy quantity included Nagaland (15,489 kilograms), Madhya Pradesh (14,815 kilograms), Maharashtra (12,551 kilograms), Chhattisgarh (7,470 kilograms) and Andhra Pradesh (7,059 kilograms). "They (Naxals) operate in very remote areas which usually have thick forests. What happens inside those forests is anybody's guess. But yes, they do charge protection money of all illegal business carried out in their areas," another senior official said, adding, "narcotics business is highly profitable. Since the areas where the Naxals and insurgents operate from are usually out of bounds for local Police and other security agencies, it is difficult to curtail this source of income."

He added that the State is expecting to receive INSAS rifles, bullet proof jackets and helmets shortly.

"Naxalism (left-wing extremism) has increasingly become analogous to acts of terrorism which are characterised by outrightly irrational and heinous conduct, and are completely devoid of any semblance of human rationality," said Justice M. M. Punchhi, chairman of the Commission on Centre-State Relations (CCSR), while addressing policy-makers from six States in the central and eastern region at a two-day workshop in Bhubaneswar, Samaylive.com reported. At the same venue CCSR member V. K. Duggal said that the Centre has prepared an INR 120 billion scheme for dealing with the extremist problem.

All seven States affected by left-wing extremism (LWE) have agreed on a "joint action" to confront the menace "firmly and decisively" and the Centre will provide them full support in terms of Security Forces and funds, said the Union Minister for Home Affairs (MHA), P. Chidambaram, during a meeting with the Chhattisgarh Chief Minister Raman Singh in Raipur on January 19, Indian Express reported. He said Chhattisgarh, Orissa, Jharkhand, Andhra Pradesh, Maharashtra, Bihar and West Bengal had so far adopted different approaches but what was needed was a joint plan where the "principal focus is on confronting the extremists." "Left wing extremists have to be confronted squarely and boldly. We have to deal with them firmly and decisively,” he added, saying, "I will be visiting all these States to know better about the problem of left wing extremism, Chhattisgarh being the first where I have visited today."

Seeking doubling of Central force deployment in extremist-infested areas of the State during the consultation meeting of the Commission on Centre State Relationship (CCSR) in Bhubaneswar on January 21, the Orissa Government has described the left-wing extremist problem to be "much bigger" than cross-border terrorism, The Hindu reported. As the problem was serious, it was unjustified to leave the responsibility of tackling the menace on the State Government alone, Orissa Panchayati Raj Minister Raghuath Mohanty said, while presenting the State's case favouring a two-fold increase in deployment of Central forces in the Communist Party of India- Maoist (CPI-Maoist) infested areas. He said, "In many ways, Naxal (left-wing extremist) problem is much bigger than cross border terrorism...Therefore, the nation should tackle it with the same degree of seriousness as in case of terrorism. It was shocking to find that the Centre reduced the funds meant for modernisation of Police in Orissa." The Minister also said that the amount had come down to INR 350 million from previous year's allocation of INR 600 million. He added that it has become difficult to arrange executing agencies and contractors to implement road connectivity works in Maoist affected Districts. He also mentioned that the Maoists try to ensure that no connectivity programme was implemented in tribal areas which have turned into havens for the outlawed outfits. "Executing agencies and contractors are unwilling to work in Naxal-infested Districts", he said, adding, efforts to provide road connectivity to all such areas had failed.
