The road transport ministry is finalising a proposal to develop 1,100 kilometres of road corridor along the Andhra Pradesh border linking it with Maharashtra, Orissa and Chhattisgarh. The latest plan to expand the road network tops up a 2009 project worth INR 73 billion to build 5,477 km of two-lane roads in the 33 Left Wing Extremist (LWE) hit Districts across eight States. "Areas along the Andhra, Chhattisgarh, Maharashtra and Orissa border are worst-hit by the Naxal [LWE] menace. The road network will bring development there, a part of the Centre's strategy to wean away the Naxalite support," said an official involved with the project. The two-lane corridor will cost approximately INR 25 billion.

Having met barely 10 per cent of its road-construction target in the eight Naxalite [Left Wing Extremism]-hit States, the Government plans to enlist locals as workers and settle for “semi-kuchcha” or simple motorable surfaces in place of the metalled ones that are standard for national highways, reports Indian Express. In two years, just 251 kilometres of roads have been built of a total of 5,477 kilometres to be completed by March 2014. So far INR 7.24 billion has been spent. “Workers taken to such sites do not continue with their jobs due to threats from extremists. That’s why we are considering engaging locals and providing only a motorable surface (without bitumen) to ensure faster construction,” Road Transport and Highways minister C P Joshi told .

Asserting that nothing could be achieved through violence, President Pratibha Patil on June 24 exhorted the Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist) to shun violence, think practically and come forward for talks, reports Indian Express. “Chhattisgarh is among the states which are facing the problem of Naxalism [Left-Wing Extremism]. Many precious lives have been lost in the recent past in many unfortunate incidents related to Maoist violence,” she said in her address to the Chhattisgarh Assembly. “Violence won’t take you anywhere. It gives only destruction and pain. Even the biggest problems can be resolved through talks,” she said and appealed to the Maoists and “others engaged in violence” to come forward for talks and join the “mainstream of development process” to usher in the progress of tribals.” Maintenance of peace is essential for nation’s progress,” she added. The President also said there was a need to monitor whether the fruits of development were reaching down to all sections of society.

The new Union Home Secretary R. K. Singh, who took over from incumbent Pillai, described Naxalism (left-wing extremism) as one of the major challenges faced by the country and stressed on strengthening of operational skills and development programmes to counter the threat, reports Times of India. "I believe Naxalism is a big challenge before us. We will confront the challenge....to get success, it is necessary to work with the state governments in close partnership. We will try to work more closely with state governments," he added. Singh said the Central Government would continue to focus on beefing up the police and the paramilitary forces besides strengthening intelligence inputs. "We have strengthened our forces. We will strengthen them further, providing them more training.
