After the recent Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist) attacks led to the death of Police personnel in Gadchiroli District, the Maharashtra Government has come up with an INR one billion plan to strengthen the State Police department in the Maoist-affected Districts on June 2, Indian Express reported. State Home Minister Jayant Patil said in the Legislative Assembly that, “INR one billion allocation will be made in the Budget for restructuring the Police department by setting up anti-Naxalite centres from Nagpur to Gadchiroli and combing the Nagpur, Gondia and Gadchiroli Police ranges under a DIG (Deputy Inspector General). In the next one week, approvals will be sought and work will begin.” He also said the plan includes increasing the armed outposts in the border areas from the existing five to 15, adding that, “We have realised that armed outposts in the border area need to be increased. There have been instances of Naxalites (left-wing extremists) attacking and moving to the neighboring State to evade identification.” These armed posts will have 60 State Reserve Police Force personnel unlike the regular 12 men. The borders will also be protected by construction of periphery wall and will have watchtowers at regular intervals, he added.

Quoting the State Home Ministry officials, Times of India has reported that the Orissa Government plans to deploy 11,000 armed Policemen to combat the insurgency. At least half of these forces would reportedly be ready for on-field operations in the next two years. "The situation is extremely bad. In many interior pockets even Police Stations are closed after dusk and Government officials are avoiding to go to office. Travelling in Malkangiri, Koraput, Rayagada, Gajapati, Kandhamal Districts in particular are shunned by people unless there is emergency," said an unnamed senior Koraput District official. The Director General of Police Manmohan Praharaj said on June 2 that "Geographical location and remoteness of the places are impediments to effective policing there. We have both short and long term plans to counter the Naxal (left-wing extremists) violence."

While unveiling the draft of special action plan sent by the Union Government to combat the Maoist insurgency, the Director General of Police (DGP), Manmohan Praharaj, said on June 5 that fighting Maoists in 17 of the 30 Districts in Orissa has become tough due to a lack of infrastructure, reported Zee News. "We are facing difficulties in training security men to fight Maoists in jungles and difficult terrains of Malkangiri and other places," said the DGP. While rejecting suggestions that Maoists rule over entire Malkangiri, he admitted that "a small part of Malkangiri" close to Andhra Pradesh and Chhattisgarh borders in high altitude remained difficult for the security personnel. "Some places in Malkangiri remain under control of the ultras," he added, saying, "Besides constructing helipads and other facilities, the police are planning to set up security hubs and mobile camps in the region." Of the 17 Maoist affected Districts, Malkangiri and Rayagada would be covered under the special plan, fund for which would be provided by the Union Government. He further said that for tackling the spurt in violence in Malkangiri, one battalion (nearly 1,000 personnel) of Central forces, deployed in northern part of the State, would be mobilised to the southern region mostly in undivided Koraput District. Commenting on a long term solution to the insurgency, Praharaj said besides recruiting about 400 local tribal youths, the State Government was also considering special steps to improve the socio-economic condition of local residents. The DGP also said, "Once the capacity building is complete in Orissa, things will be easy for the security personnel to contain violence in Malkangiri and other places," adding, "No Police informer is killed. They kill innocent people and name the victim as Police informer. We have no informer from among the public."

According to Times of India, Jayanta Mahato, a leader of the ruling Communist Party of India-Marxist (CPI-M) party, was killed by cadres of the Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist) at Dirghosa forest in the Salboni area of West Midnapore District in the morning of June 6.

PTI reports on June 7 that left-wing extremists generate INR 15 billion income through collection of 'levy' in the seven worst affected States of Jharkhand, Chhattisgarh, Andhra Pradesh, Orissa, Bihar, West Bengal and Maharashtra, said security agencies. The extremist’s literature and documents seized by central security agencies and State Police forces during their operations have revealed intricate details of "levy" extorted by groups which run in several hundred crores every year. The 'levy' is not only paid by the contractors working in the areas dominated by the extremists but also by the industrial houses including some of the nationally reputed ones, the officials said. Though the Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist) still remains the prominent Naxalite group in Jharkhand, there are other splinter groups which too have now started imposing 'levy' besides indulging in kidnapping, looting and narcotics trade, which results in around INR 3 billion as annual income from the State.

The Hindu reports that the Union Government will soon launch a new scheme, 'Modernisation of Forest Administration', to improve the forest administration and simultaneously tackle the growing menace of Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist) cadres in Orissa, Jharkhand, Chhattisgarh, Madhya Pradesh and Bihar, said the Union Minister of State for Environment and Forests Jairam Ramesh on June 7. He said as many as 186 tribal-dominated Districts in the country were affected by the Maoist insurgency and that there is a close connection between forest areas and Maoists. These 186 Districts comprise 30 per cent of India's land area and 60 per cent of the country's forest area, the Union Minister noted. "We are working on the details of this scheme and the Centre will extend full financial assistance to the State Governments in implementing it. Andhra Pradesh has not been included in the scheme as it has been relatively successful in tackling the Maoist menace," he added.

According to Indian Express, a ‘divisional commander’ of the Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist) and his wife surrendered before the Orissa Police on June 8. The Ghumusur ‘divisional commander’ Akash alias Dora alias Ghasiram Majhi and his wife Jharana, who is also a Maoist, surrendered before the Raygada District Superintendent of Police. “He was a very senior member in the Maoist hierarchy of Orissa, next only to Sabyasachi Panda, the chief of the rebels in Orissa,” said Sudhanshu Sarangi, Inspector General of Police (anti-Naxal operations). Akash, a resident of Kharikapadar village in Rayagada District, joined the Maoist ranks seven years ago and rose to become the outfit’s Ghumusar division commander a few years ago. “He was involved in over 12 Maoist attacks in the State including several high-profile attacks but of late he had grown disillusioned with the Maoists. We were in touch with and had been trying to persuade him to surrender,” said a senior Police official. Akash will reportedly get homestead land and other benefits as per the Orissa Government’s surrender policy for the insurgents.

Times of India reports that the Centre believes that West Bengal's indecision on outlawing the CPI-Maoist is hampering counter-insurgency operations in the Red corridor. "While the Bengal government accuses the Centre of not sending adequate paramilitary forces to counter Maoists, the ministry of home affairs has urged the state to impose a ban on the outfit. Till this is done, the menace cannot be controlled. But instead of considering a ban, the state government has even withdrawn its Police forces from the areas where Naxalites are operating. Under the circumstances, central forces who do not know the terrain or the people will be of little help," a Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA) source said.

The Centre on June 22 banned the Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist), terming it a terrorist organisation, The Hindu reported. It invoked Section 41 of the Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act against the extremist outfit. The CPI-Maoist came into existence following the merger of the People’s War Group (PWG) and the Maoist Communist Centre (MCC) in September 2004. The ban was to avoid any ambiguity though all formations and front organisations of the PWG and the MCC came under the purview of the ban. Union Home Minister P. Chidambaram said the merged organisation would continue to be listed as a terror organisation. “When I looked into the matter a couple of days ago, I said that may be the position in the law. In order to avoid any ambiguity, let us add the CPI (Maoist) by name in that schedule of the Act.”

According to The Hindu, the Centre has asked the Government of West Bengal to declare the Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist) as an "unlawful association" under a 1908 Act as its scope is much wider than the Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act (UAPA) enacted in 2008. Union Home Ministry officials said the West Bengal Government has been advised to declare the CPI-Maoist as outlawed because of the fact that the UAPA, under which the Centre outlawed the outfit on June 22, is essentially directed against unlawful associations that support secession. "The Criminal Law Amendment Act, 1908 (CLAA) has a very different objective. It is directed against associations which encourage or aid person to commit acts of violence or intimidation. The power is vested in the state government to declare an association as unlawful," a Union Home Ministry official said.
