Jharkhand government will raise a special task force to combat the growing threat of Maoists in the State, The Hindu reported. The State cabinet, chaired by Chief Minister Madhu Koda, has sanctioned INR 104.89 crore to create the special force.

A police officer in the rank of inspector-general will command the 1,989-personnel strong force. A Deputy Inspector of Police, two Superintendents of Police and 22 Deputy Superintendents of Police will assist him in the campaign to crush Maoists in Jharkhand.

The Task Force on Naxalites on December 13 underscored the need for more synergy between the affected States and the Centre to effectively deal with left-wing extremism, according to New Indian Express. The Task Force meeting in Bhubaneswar was presided over by M. L. Kumawat, Special Secretary (Internal Security) in the Union Home Ministry. The meeting discussed security preparedness as well as intelligence gathering network in all the affected States. Nodal officers on Naxalites and intelligence representatives from nine States – Orissa, Andhra Pradesh, Chhattisgarh, Maharashtra, Madhya Pradesh, Uttar Pradesh, Bihar, Jharkhand and West Bengal – attended the meeting. Talking to the media after the meeting, Kumawat stressed that the synergy was required in all fields, including development works and security aspects. Naxalite violence, Kumawat informed, has considerably decreased in the recent times. In Orissa, incidents have come down significantly as is evident from only two deaths of security force personnel last year in Naxalite violence, he pointed out. He refuted claims that in some areas of the States the Naxalites run a parallel administration. “The State is mighty and democratically elected governments can never be wished away like that”, he said. There was, however, no commitment from the Centre to the demands of the states for deployment of more Central Reserve Police Force personnel. Instead, the States were asked to fill up the vacancies in different ranks of police administration.

Speaking at the Chief Ministers' Conference on Internal Security in New Delhi on December 20, Patnaik demanded sanction of five more IRBs for Orissa.

Stating that Maoists are the single largest security challenge to India, Prime Minister Dr. Manmohan Singh urged chief ministers to cripple the extremists with all means at their command, reports Statesman. Addressing the chief ministers' conference on internal security on December 20 in New Delhi, he reiterated the need to upgrade the country's internal security machinery and called for superior policing techniques to defeat the Maoist insurgency. "Not a day passes without an incident of left-wing extremism taking place somewhere or the other. There also seems to be a consolidation of various groups with better coordination and strike capabilities," said Dr. Singh. He added: "I have said in the past that left-wing extremism is the single biggest security challenge to the Indian state. It continues to be so, and we cannot rest in peace till we have eliminated this virus. We need a coordinated response to this challenge. The answers to the problem are well known. We need to cripple Naxalite forces with all the means at our command." Referring to the Dantewada jailbreak on December 16 in Chhattisgarh where nearly 300 prisoners along with Maoists escaped, Singh lamented the paucity of policemen to counter the fast-emerging challenges including hinterland terrorism. "I hear that there were only three personnel at the Dantewada jail. Inadequate, ill-equipped, ill-trained, poorly-motivated personnel cannot take on the Naxal extremists who are increasingly better equipped and organized….

They are targeting vital economic infrastructure so as to cripple transport and logistic capabilities and also slow down any development activity," he said. Singh urged the chief ministers to strengthen core policing, fill up vacancies in police forces and show better leadership and resolve to face up to the challenge.
