0n April 6, 14 Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist) cadres and three Security Force (SF) personnel were killed during a three hour-long encounter between a group of 300 CPI-Maoist cadres and around 30 SF personnel at Mungner village in the Dhanora tehsil (revenue unit) of Gadchiroli District, Times of India reported. The slain SF personnel were identified as Gopichand Netam, Dnyaneshwar Seph and Kalidas Wadde. Several commandos were injured during the encounter. The encounter took place when the SFs, led by Commander Munna Singh Thakur, were patrolling in the Dhanora area as a part of their regular operation. According to the Additional Director General of Police, Pankaj Gupta, "The heavily armed Naxals (left-wing extremists) were in advantageous position in the hilly terrain. Commander Thakur's experience came handy in the crisis situation. The Naxals were tackled in a strategic manner by using the ammunition judiciously. Thakur ensured that the commandos advanced and try to corner the Naxals. The Naxals had rained bullets and also hurled mortars at the commandos. One of the commandos lost his life while trying to prevent the Naxals from fleeing with the bodies of their slain colleagues."

In the morning of April 6, around 150 suspected cadres of the Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist) attempted to explode a Government school using dynamite at Ketaki village in the Aurangabad District, The Hindu reported. However, the school building was not damaged as the explosion was not powerful. The Maoists took away a generator of the school before the Police reached the spot. According to Police sources, the ongoing attacks on schools by the Maoists have been an attempt to foil the State administration's bid to house Central Reserve Police Force and other para-military forces in schools for deployment in Maoist affected areas during the Parliament elections scheduled to be held in April-May.

Quoting intelligence sources, DNA reported that the Maharashtra Chief Minister Ashok Chavan in a meeting on April 9 directed the State Home department to chalk out an action plan on an immediate basis to tackle the Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist) menace in the State. "Eighteen Policemen and 16 civilians have been killed in 12 Naxal (left-wing extremists) attacks in last three months. We need tight security to ensure that the elections can be carried out peacefully. Apart from the support from Chhattisgarh, the Naxalites are believed to be assisted by their counterparts from Sri Lanka and Nepal," a senior official of the Home department told Chavan during the meeting. The State Government demanded four helicopters and four battalions of central security agencies to be used for the election in Maoist infested areas. Chavan also asked the Home department to seek the Army's help if needed. "An action plan should be immediately chalked out and followed rigorously to ensure elections are conducted peacefully," he added. The Chief Minister has also written to the Union Minister for Home Affairs, P. Chidambaram, for 12 companies of the paramilitary forces exclusively for Gadchiroli and Gondia Districts to counter the Maoists, added Times of India.

On April 15, eleven Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist) cadres were killed and one Border Security Force (BSF) personnel injured during a seven hour long encounter at Dhansa Ghati in the Rohtas District, Patna Daily reported. The encounter occurred when more than 150 armed CPI-Maoist cadres surrounded the BSF camp and opened fire at the Security Force personnel. The injured SF personnel was identified as Arjun Shekhawat. The incident happened just one day before the commencement of Parliamentary election in the District. "The aim of the Maoists, besides damaging the BSF position, was to loot arms and ammunition and to derail the poll process as Sasaram goes to poll on April 16. It appears that during their retreat, the Maoists took away the injured and bodies of the dead colleagues," BSF sources said, adding, "This is for the first time in the series of recent Maoist attacks that they were made to retreat after suffering substantial casualties without causing much damage to the BSF." According to the Additional Director General of Police Neelmani, "Maoists used three rocket launchers. Two launchers failed and one rocket hit a wall."

Cadres of the Communist party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist) attacked the paramilitary Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF) camp at Mahupada near Banki Police Station in the Sundergarh District in the wee hours of April 16, reports The Statesman. The Maoists attacked the camp of the paramilitary force from two sides and consequently there was a heavy exchange of fire, which lasted for more than an hour. “Once we got wind of their action we immediately took position and retaliated with full firepower and this caught them off-guard as they were not expecting an early response. But the guards were on high alert. And experience has shown that once they face stiff resistance they simply withdraw to save their bullets and cadres”, said an unnamed CRPF official posted at Rourkela.

Orissa Police on April 21 claimed to have arrested a Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist) ‘commander’, identified as Udaya alias P. Rama Rao, along with his three associates after a raid on their hideout in the Gudari forest of Rayagada District, reports Telegraph. "Udaya is the third in the rank in the Vansadhra division and a link between (the Maoists’) Andhra committee and the Orissa unit," District Superintendent of Police Ashish Kumar Singh said. Two of the associates arrested, Surendra and Jadu, are "hardcore cadre", Singh said, adding Padmana is an area committee member who provided logistics support to Udaya and others. Udaya was one of the masterminds behind the murder of Swami Laxmananda Saraswati, a Hindu right-wing leader, and four of his associates in Kandhamal on August 23, 2008, Singh said. Since being sent to Orissa in 2001 to expand the Maoist network, Udaya was involved in over 20 cases of murder, rioting and looting of Government armouries in the Udaygiri and Nayagarh Districts, Singh added. Some of the weapons seized from Udaya and others bore marks of the Nayagarh District armoury. Udaya, who has been with the CPI-Maoist for 18 years, originally belonged to the insurgents’ Srikakulam division in neighbouring Andhra Pradesh. The Maoists refer to Kandhamal, Rayagada and Gajapati as the Vansadhra Division.
