Times of India reports that the Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist) cadres set ablaze three jeeps of the irrigation department and damaged a school building and an inspection bungalow of the water resources department at Garhi village under the Khaira Police Station in Jamui District in the night of March 1. According to locals, a group of over 100 Maoists, including women, raided the village around 8.30pm and asked shopkeepers to down their shutters and leave the place immediately. Soon thereafter, the Maoists demolished the Government and school buildings with the help of four JCB machines of a private road construction firm and bulldozed the buildings, they added. Jamui Superintendent of Police (SP) Ramnarayan Singh said the Maoists set ablaze the three vehicles of the water resources department, which were parked near the office at Garhi village. The SP said the Maoists might have driven away a few JCB machines from project work sites in the area to use them for damaging the buildings.

DNA reports that in a meeting chaired by the Chief Minister Naveen Patnaik on March 2, it was decided that the State Government would not withdraw Security Forces (SFs) from areas dominated by the Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist), though it announced to halt combing operations since February 20 following abduction of Malkangiri District collector R Vineel Krishna and junior engineer Pabitra Majhi, a senior Home Department official said. "According to commitments made to the mediators, the State Government will not take any coercive step till peace prevailed," Chief Secretary BK Patnaik said earlier. Besides 12 battalions of central para-military forces (seven battalions of Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF) and five battalions of Border Security Force (BSF), adequate number of Odisha Police's elite anti-Naxalite [Left Wing Extremism] force - Special Operation Group (SOG), India Reserve Battalion (IRB), District Voluntary Force (DVF) and Special Police Officers (SPOs) were also deployed for anti-Maoist operations. Now with the State Government deciding not to execute Operation Green Hunt, these Forces would keep a watch on the movement of Maoists and their activities, the official said. "Presence of BSF and CRPF in Maoist-hit areas is itself an indication that the State Government will act if required," the official added.

Hindustan Times reports that suspected Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist) cadres abducted and killed Neyamat Ansari (40), a functionary attached to a local organisation campaigning for the right of labourers, working under the Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee Scheme (MNREGS), at Jerua village in Latehar District in the night of March 2.

The victim’s sister has lodged a complaint with the local Police Station accusing a Maoist squad of having a hand in this. However, Director General of Police (DGP) G S Rath said, “Ansari had a tainted past, and reportedly Maoist links.” He added that the killers were yet to be identified and “we are probing.”

men and women of Khunti and adjoining Districts came for various physical tests, like racing, long jump and high jump, as part of the Police recruitment process. Police officers at the recruitment camp said they had expected a good number of applicants, but were surprised by the number of women who also appeared for the test.

To protect its choppers from the Maoists attacks, the IAF chief said Garud Commandos have been deployed on these helicopters to retaliate whenever such a situation arises. "Four IAF choppers are operating in Raipur, Dantewada, and Jagdalpur areas. We also used to operate UAVs in these areas to track the LWE but they have been withdrawn," IAF chief P V Naik told reporters in New Delhi. The IAF chief said the choppers "carry a Garud Special Force member on board who mans the gun, which is not the integrated part of the helicopter." On the withdrawal of UAVs from anti-Naxal operations, Naik said, "beyond a certain season, it loses its surprise element... And these UAVs were not meant for what they were being used for." He said the IAF withdrew the UAVs after it found that it was not able to meet the requirements. On the Rules of Engagement (RoE) in LWE-affected areas, the IAF chief said very "stringent" rules have been provided to the IAF for firing back when its choppers come under attack from the LWE.
