A Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF) trooper was injured in a pressure bomb blast, triggered allegedly by Maoists, in Dantewada District on April 3, reports The Hindu. The incident took place at Dubba Kunna forests under Katekalyan Police Station limits while Security Forces (SFs) were returning after an anti-Naxal [Left-Wing Extremism, LWE] operation in the region, Dantewada SP Kamlochan Kashyap said. When the SFs reached a forested patch of Dubba Kunna, the trooper inadvertently stepped over an Improvised Explosive Device (IED), which triggered the blast, the SP said. “Constable Gurwinder Singh belonging to the CRPF’s 195th battalion sustained injuries in the explosion,” he added.

Eight suspected Maoists, including a teen-aged girl, were arrested from separate places in Bastar Division on April 4, reports The Times of India. Four cadres were arrested from Kanker District and four others in Sukma District, a senior Police official said. In the first incident, a team of District Force was carrying out a search operation in Badgaon Police Station area when they spotted four persons in forests of Latamarka village, the Police said. On interrogation, they admitted involvement in the Naxal [Left-Wing Extremism, LWE] movement, he added. They were identified as Saten Ram Kumeti (26), Rati Ram Jade (23), Vimla Uike (23) and a 17-year-old girl, the official said. Kumeti was wanted in cases of abduction and attempt to murder in the region while three others, including Vimla and the minor, were allegedly involved in offences like rioting, loot and attempt to wage war, he said. In the second incident, a joint squad of Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF) and the District Police Force arrested four Maoists from Nilavaram village under Gadiras Police Station limits, the official said. Of them, Katti Guddi alias Madkam Ganga was carrying a reward of INR 2,000 on his head, he said. All four were active members of Dandakaranya Adivasi Kisan Majdoor Sangthan (DAKMS), a front of the CPI-Maoist, and were allegedly involved in various crimes including creating disturbance during panchayat (village level local self government institution) election in 2015.

Three villagers were killed allegedly by Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist) cadres in separate incidents in Bastar region of Chhattisgarh on April 6, reports The Hindu. While two villagers, who were abducted from a village in Kondagaon District, were allegedly killed by Maoists after holding a ‘Jan Adalat’ (kangaroo court), another was killed in Kanker District. “The victims, identified as Budhru and Manku, tribals from Kudur village under Mardapal police station limits, were brutally beaten to death,” Kondagaon Superintendent of Police (SP) JS Watti said. As per preliminary information, three villagers from Kudur area were abducted by Maoists on April 4, and two others picked up on April 5. Subsequently, the Maoists held a ‘Jan Adalat’ around 15 kilometres from Kudur in Tilam-Becha area, which falls in Narayanpur District, the SP said. “The Naxals [Left-Wing Extremists, LWEs] executed two villagers and released three,” he said. Becha area is said to be the strong base of the Maoists, which lies on the tri-junction of Bastar-Kondagaon-Narayanpur Districts around 400 kilometres away from Raipur.

Heavy exchange of fire took place twice between Hawk Force of State Police and an armed squad of Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist) at Balaghat District of Madhya Pradesh on April 7, reports The Times of India. Though the exact location of encounter is yet to be confirmed, intelligence officers at Police headquarters said first firing took place near a forest area under Patra Police outpost under Roopjhar Police Station. Commandant, who was leading the force, ordered retaliation as the Maoists fired on the Security Forces (SFs). However, no casualty was reported from either side. Previous encounter was reported from Machhurda forest area, located 30 kilometres from District headquarters during routine patrolling. Armed Forces were heading towards the forest from the area under Birsa Police Station, when Maoists opened fire for the first time. "It seems to be a chance attack instead of an ambush. That was a transit point for Maoists to enter Maharashtra," said Police officer monitoring anti-Naxal [Left-Wing Extremism, LWE] operations.

As many as 61 Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist) cadres, including seven women, most of them lower rung members, surrendered in Bastar District on April 13, citing “disappointment” with the ideology of the CPI-Maoist, reports The Hindu. “The rebels turned themselves in before senior police and administrative officials at Jagdalpur district headquarters,” Bastar Superintendent of Police (SP) R N Dash said. Of them, Phulo Madkami, who was carrying a reward of INR 300,000 on her head, was active as regional committee supply member of the Maoists and a prominent cadre in the region, the SP said. Another cadre, Jibo Kawadi, was carrying a reward of INR 100,000 on his head, while the rest belonged to different lower rank squads of the outfit including Janmilitia, Sangham and Chetna Natya Manch (CNM), a cultural wing of the Maoists, Dash said. Police claimed that with this surrender, Katekalyan Area Committee of Darbha Division of the Maoists, which has allegedly been instrumental in executing several deadly attacks in south Bastar, has collapsed. At least 34 of the surrendered Maoists belong to Mudenar village which comes under Katekalyan area committee of the ultras. With the surrender, it appears that this area committee has completely vanished, the officer said. They all will be provided with facilities as per the surrender and rehabilitation policy, he said, adding 247 Naxals [Left Wing Extremists (LWEs) and their supporters have surrendered in Bastar district in the past three months.

A forest guesthouse and a jeep were set ablaze, allegedly by Naxalites-[Left-Wing Extremists (LWEs)], at the Tadvai mandal (administrative unit) headquarters between Warangal and Eturunagaram in Telangana, on the intervening night of 15-16 April, reports The Hindu. The guesthouse was recently renovated and some huts were constructed by the forest department to encourage tourism and attract visitors to the State. The facility had remained defunct for many decades fearing Naxal attacks in the thick forests. However, as the Naxalite movement seemed to have declined, the Forest Department recently renovated it. A note, written in red ink, purportedly by Karimnagar-Khammam-Warangal Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist) party committee ‘secretary’ Damodar, said the Telangana State government should stop taking away the podu lands of Adivasis (tribals), which are acquired in the name of development, end open-cast mining and stop arresting people leading the “people’s movement.” The note also gave a call to people to join the “movement.”

Calling the Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist) a ‘serious challenge’ to the Indian democracy, the Union Minister of Home Affairs (UMH) Rajnath Singh on April 16 said the Centre was committed to extend every possible help to the Left-Wing Extremism (LWE)-affected states to root out the menace, reports NDTV. The Minister made the assurance while chairing a high-level meeting of Chhattisgarh Police and paramilitary officials at the New Circuit House, a state public relations department official said. Chief Minister Raman Singh was also present at the meeting. "Naxalism is a serious challenge to the democracy. To root out the Maoist menace, the Centre is committed to extend every possible support to Naxal-hit states including Chhattisgarh," the officer quoted the Minister as saying in the meeting.

A Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist) couple, identified as Dasru Pungati alias Vikram (35) and his wife Nirmala (38), allegedly involved in the gun-battle at Chhote Baithiya Border Security Force (BSF) post in Chhattisgarh’s Kanker District on April 12, were arrested from Burgi Pipili village in Gadchiroli District on April 18, reports Indian Express.

The Intelligence Bureau (IB) has raised concerns over growing incidents and recovery of huge number of Improvised Explosive Devices (IEDs) in Naxal-[Left-Wing Extremism (LWE)]-affected areas and has asked the Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF) to be extra vigilant and strictly follow the procedures while operating in the area, reports The Times of India on April 19. According to a report prepared by IB, a total of 1,702 IEDs weighing nearly 5908 kilograms were recovered from 10 LWE-affected States in 2015, prompting security agencies to tell their ground forces to be extra vigilant. During 2014, 523 IEDs were recovered and were half the weight of the bombs seized in 2015. 2015 also accounted for the recovery of the highest number of detonators--20,871--used to trigger these IEDs. In 2014, the numbers were 6,643. A senior official working in the anti-LWE operations domain said that in the first three-and-a-half months this year (2016), there was again a spurt in IED related casualties and injuries. "While nine personnel lost their lives, 13 have been injured and two had to undergo amputation during this time period. About 250 such improvised bombs have been recovered this year," he said. "Gun battles are reducing between security forces and Naxals. It has been analysed that Maoist cadres are low on weapons and obviously no match with the security forces when it comes to fire power. Hence, IED attacks of the deadly variety are increasing," the official added.

The Union Ministry of Home Affairs (UMHA) has expressed “serious concern” over attempts of some Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist) cadres to carve out a base for themselves in the tri-junction of Tamil Nadu, Kerala and Karnataka, reports The Hindu on April 20. In a recent report on Naxalism-(Left-Wing Extremism), the UMHA said though the CPI-Maoist had not achieved much success in its attempts to establish a stronghold in the tri-junction due to a well-coordinated action plan of security agencies, the efforts “to open a new theatre in south India is a cause for serious concern.”In Andhra Pradesh, a neighbouring State, the report said Maoist violence had gone up by 94 per cent in 2015-16 as a result of bauxite mining in Visakhapatnam. “There has been active support to people’s movement against mining in Niyamgiri Hills (Rayagada and Kalahandi districts of Odisha) and agency area of Visakhapatnam district in Andhra Pradesh.
