The Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist) leaders are resorting to acts of violence in Bhadradri Kothagudem District of Telangana, said Bhadrachalam, Assistant Superintendent of Police (ASP) Paritosh Pankaj, on May 2, reports Telangana Today. In a statement, ASP Pankaj said, Maoists were committing criminal offences to show their presence and harassing the innocent tribal people of the agency areas. The Naxals [Left Wing extremists, LWEs] have become obstacles to development. The top leaders of the Maoist party were compelling their lower-level cadres to commit illegal activities with the aim of extorting money and troubling innocent tribals in many ways for their selfish interests. Minor boys and girls were being tortured by the Naxals forcing them to join the Maoist party. The ASP noted that many cadres attracted by the ‘Operation Chayutha’ are planning to surrender, but they were being prevented doing so by Maoist top leadership.

Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist) leaders, who claim to be fighting for ‘Jal, Jungle and Jameen’ (water, forest and land), were exploiting lower rank cadres to live a lavish life, stated Superintendent of Police (SP), Vineeth G, in Bhadradri Kothagudem on May 11, reports Telangana Today.

Maoists like Sodi Jogaiah, Rajesh, Sodi Mada and others, killed in encounters, were made to join the Naxals [Left Wing Extremists, LWEs] when they were minor in age and the party top leadership should take responsibility for their deaths, the SP said. Maoist leaders Damodar, Azad, Aruna and others sending ill-gotten money to their family members but meting out injustice to Adivasi families, which were compelled to sacrifice their children for Maoist leaders, SP, Vineeth noted.

To share the movement and secrets of the cadres of the Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist) in the Maoist-hit three districts - Balaghat, Mandla, and Dindori, the state government is in the process of establishing an unarmed force - the Vishesh Sahyog Dasta (Special Support Squad) of local tribal youths, reports The Free Press Journal on May 28. The Dasta (squad) would comprise 150 tribal youths who will act as eyes and ears of the Security Forces (SFs) in the three Naxal [Left Wing Extremism, LWE] affected districts. The Inspector general of Police (IGP), Intelligence, Anurag, said that the idea of the 'Vishesh Sahyog Dasta' is to connect the tribals living in Maoist-hit areas to the mainstream of development. The new system will also be utilised for implementing community policing, and the youths will be encouraged to join police and security services. As many as 150 youths are being recruited under the programme, said the IGP, adding that the first qualification of the recruitment is that the applicant should be domicile of the district concerned. “In all 150 members for the three squads have been selected- 30 for Mandla squad, 40 for Dindori 40 and 80 for Balaghat district. Their appointment terms and conditions are different, they are recruited on contractual basis,” said the officer. Soon after the appointment, their training will begin, said the IGP.
