"We should be freed from this mental torture by speedily disposing of the cases pending against us. We have been kept in jails just on suspicion, and refused bail," letter says.

Telegraph reports that the Odisha Government has decided to raise another 50 Special Operations Group (SOG) to combat the Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist) menace in the State. State Home Secretary U. N. Behera said, “The State has already formed 50 SOG units comprising 1,800 jawans [troopers]. Another 1,800 jawans will be recruited under the SOG units.” “We have plans to recruit another 5,000 constables to fill up the vacancies. The Government has already given the financial approval,” Behera added. Apart from raising the SOG units, the Government is also planning to set up four counter-insurgency anti-terrorists (CIT) schools in the State. Behera said the proposed CIT schools would impart training to the troopers of Odisha Police. The schools would come up at Chandaka, Rourkela and Koraput. Similarly, Police training schools would also come up at Bairi and Sambalpur. The Odisha Government has also decided to urge the Centre to initiate steps in providing an 18-seater chopper to the State. “We have started negotiating with the Pawan Hansh. During our proposed meeting with the cabinet secretary, we have decided to raise this issue,” said a senior officer. Five battalions of the Border Security Force (BSF), seven battalions of the Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF), 50 units of the SOG, four battalions of the India Reserve Battalions (IRB) and personnel of one Commando Battalion for Resolute Action (CoBRA) battalion have been put into service across the Maoists-infested Districts in the State.

Times of India reports that Superintendent of Police (SP) Viresh Prabhu confirmed the death of a top Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist) leader Nagesh alias Shankar Tukka Pungati (38), ‘commander-in-chief’ of North Gadchiroli-Gondia division, along with two other Maoist cadres on the basis of Maoists pamphlets recovered from Malewada Village in Kurkheda Taluk (administrative division) in Gadchiroli District on May 9. Nagesh was killed along with two other Maoist cadres in a fierce encounter in the forests of Khobramendha near Malewada village under Wadsa division of Gadchiroli District in the afternoon of April 19. The two other slain Maoists were ‘platoon party member’ Manglu (17) and PLGA member Manju (17). While Manglu belonged to Bastar area in Chhattisgarh, Manju hailed from Pipli (Burgi) village in Etapalli tehsil (administrative division) of Aheri sub-division of the District. "Nagesh was mastermind of several attacks on security forces. The death of two juvenile Naxalites proves that Naxals are enticing the juvenile youths to join the movement," the SP added. Nagesh had clubbed four different Maoists dalams (squad) and had laid ambush on a patrolling party of Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF) in the hilly terrain of Khobramendha jungles on April 19. However, pamphlets of Maharashtra State Committee of Maoists recovered from Malewada a couple of days back claimed that three Maoists including Nagesh were killed in the Khobramendha encounter. "We will avenge each drop of our comrades by spoiling Operation Green Hunt," the pamphlet added.

Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist) has revived all the international Maoist fora to regroup after the massive onslaught from the Indian Security Forces over the past year, reports Times of India. Months ago, the CPI-Maoist revived the South Asian Maoist forum —Co-ordination Committee of Maoist Parties and Organisations of South Asia (CCOMPOSA) after five years. CCOMPOSA, which was formed in 2001 by Naxalites [Left Wing Extremists] and Nepali Maoists for ideological and strategic exchange, turned defunct after Maoists in Nepal stepped into parliamentary democracy. It led to a rift between Maoist parties in Nepal and India. The forum has now gained relevance once again following major damage to Maoists in India. Police sources revealed that they got some detail about the Maoist unification process after the arrest of Maoist central committee member Varanasi Subramanyam alias Shrikant alias Sukant alias Vimal (58), Secretary of the North Regional Bureau, who had been dealing with the international affairs after arrest of another politburo member Kobad Gandhi. Senior intelligence officers feel that if Indian Maoists once again get touch with their Nepal counterpart, then strategically they will be stronger as they will be able to secure safe passage in Nepal as well as will be able to get weapons from Nepal. Maoist sources have also admitted that to confront with the increasing pace of Indian security forces, they are trying to buy weapon from overseas market and for that both Nepal and north eastern states are very important for them. To open a new Maoist corridor through north eastern states of India, the Maoists have already spread their organisation in different parts of Assam. Tarun Gogoi, Chief Minister of Assam has also expressed his worry over Maoist expansion in Assam.

The Hindu reports that a fresh investigation was ordered into the attack on a camp of the Eastern Frontier Rifles (EFR) at Silda in West Midnapore District in February 2010, in which 24 troopers were killed after the latest recoveries of illegal arms from Purulia village in the same District, State Police officials said on May 22. “The arsenal number on an INSAS rifle that has been recovered today [May 22] matches with that of one of the rifles looted in the Silda camp attack. So far we had been suspecting that Maoists were involved in the Silda attack, but now it seems that members of the Communist Party of India-Marxist (CPI-M) may have been involved,” State Director General of Police Naparajit Mukherjee told journalists. The INSAS rifle was recovered in a police raid carried out at Purulia village in West Midnapore. Police sources said that it was recovered from a field about 1.5 kilometres away from the local CPI-M office. “In the raid conducted in Purulia village, 35 weapons and 147 rounds of ammunition were recovered,” District Superintendent of Police Manoj Verma told The Hindu over telephone, adding that an AK-56 was among the firearms recovered.

This is a cowardly act,” the SP said, adding “Police action will continue,” adds Telegraph. The trucks laden with food grains were on its way to Palamu from Uttar Pradesh and Bihar.

Hindustan Times reports that the Special Intelligence Branch (SIB) of Andhra Pradesh Police, which monitors activities of the Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist) cadres, has reportedly gathered "credible information" about the Maoists carrying their activities under the banner of the virtually-defunct Telangana Political Joint Action Committee (JAC). According to report, several "inactive" Maoists have suddenly started participating in the political Joint Action Committee on the Statehood issue. Though no Maoist leader worth the name is directly involved in the statehood-related agitation, many recent recruits in the force are said to be participating in the programmes under the aegis of the JAC, top police sources said. "When the agitation for a separate state began in late 2009, some Maoist elements joined ranks with the students of Osmania University and indulged in violence. Now, they seem to have 'graduated' to a higher level and started working under the so-called political JAC, though the latter as such exists only on paper," a top-ranking Police official said.

Director General of Police (DGP) G.S. Rath on May 31 chose to paint a grim picture of the overall security scenario of Jharkhand and called the situation “war-like” while referring to the recent spate of Maoist attacks that targeted construction companies and their equipment as well as men in uniform. Speaking about the Maoist ambush in Lohardaga on May 3 in which 11 policemen were killed, the DGP said, “Despite being lured into a Maoist trap my boys valiantly repulsed the Naxalites and no weapons were lost.” He added that though there were no trophies of victory yet, his forces had been venturing into previously inaccessible areas. “A war-like scenario is prevailing. We win some, we lose some. We are having encounters in interior areas with Naxalites,” he said.
