120 Pawan Hans pilots are threatening to go on an indefinite strike from December 16, reports India Today. The pilots are protesting Pawan Hans 'forcing them' to fly in Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist)-hit areas. Five management pilots, of the rank of deputy general managers have already set the ball rolling, putting in their papers in protest. The Pawan Hans Helicopter Pilots Guild has already sent a notice to the chairman and managing director and informed all clients including ONGC, Governments of Maharashtra, Chhattisgarh, Odisha and the Vaishno Devi Shrine Board to make alternate arrangement. "We are not trained military pilots. We are commercial pilots being forced to fly in adverse environment in anti-Naxal operations. We are neither trained nor equipped to fly in a war like zone. Our helicopters are not armour plated, we have no bullet proof jackets, helmets or even a personal weapon and there have been instances of our helicopter coming under Naxal fire," R.K. Mahajan, secretary general of the Helicopter Pilots Guild told Headlines Today.

Differing with Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister N Kirankumar Reddy’s thesis that bifurcation of the state will lead to a spurt in Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist) activity, Director-General of Police (DGP) B Prasada Rao on December 2 said one cannot predict the scenario as Maoism has been rising its ugly head across the State border even when the state is united, reports Deccan Herald. Interacting with media, the DGP said occasional incursions of Maoists were noted near Chhattisgarh, Maharashtra and Odisha borders. “It can happen again even though we are in touch with the police forces in those states,” Prasada Rao said. He also refused to subscribe to the chief minister’s argument that most of the top Maoist brass belonged to Telangana region.

Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist) cadres killed a senior reporter of a local daily at a weekly market in Basaguda village of Bijapur District of Bastar region on December 6, reports The Indian Express. Sain Reddy, in early 50s, was working with Deshbandhu, one of the oldest newspapers of Chhattisgarh. Around 1.30 pm, 3-4 youths attacked him with axes and other sharp weapons. He died on way to hospital. In a statement, Bijapur journalists expressed outrage and called for Bastar bandh (general shutdown strike) on December 7. "We condemn the incident and will soon declare our plan of action," said S Karimuddin, president of Bastar Patrakar Sangh (Bastar Journalists’ Association). Karimuddin said Reddy, the native of an interior village, was caught in the police-Maoist conflict. About six or seven years ago, Police had arrested Reddy suspecting him to be a Maoist informer. He was released later as Police could not find any evidence against him. Some years ago, Maoists burnt down his village home, forcing him to flee to Andhra Pradesh. He returned after some time and was working with Deshbandhu since then. "We owe allegiance to none, still both sides suspect us," added Karimuddin, who knew Reddy for decades.

Naveen said 21 Maoists were killed in 57 incidents till November as against 10 in 2012. Responding to Leader of Opposition Bhupinder Singh’s allegation that the State Government is unable to utilise funds sanctioned under security-related expenditure (SRE) scheme, the Chief Minister said the State has already spent INR 3.23 billion from its own resources in SRE scheme during 2012-13. “It is a matter of regret that the Government of India has not reimbursed INR 1.79 billion in spite of several requests from the State,” he remarked. Meanwhile, Naveen Patnaik dismissing the opposition parties including Congress and the Bharatiya Janata Party’s (BJP) allegations that the crime records of the State proved inefficiency of Government in maintaining law and order situation, the CM said the situation in the State is by and large peaceful. There have been no communal incidents or major agitational activities by the students in the State.

The Centre has rapped the Bihar Government for its alleged failure in controlling Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist) activities and said situation in the State has become alarming and there is complete breakdown in coordination between the State Police and Central forces, reports The Hindu. Union Home Minister Sushilkumar Shinde also advised Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar to examine successful counter-insurgency models of other States and adopt such structures in Bihar too. “We have noticed a complete breakdown in coordination between the State police and the Central forces as well as with the neighbouring states like Jharkhand,” Shinde wrote in his letter to Kumar. Expressing concern over deteriorating Left Wing Extremism situation in Bihar, Mr. Shinde said the CPI (Maoist) have looted 38 sophisticated weapons and ammunition from the Bihar Police this year and that was the largest number in the country. “There is a worry that the Maoists have identified Bihar Police for snatching weapons and ammunition since the state police personnel appear to be poorly trained in tactics. The State has also witnessed the killing of 27 security personnel this year, which is a very high number,” he said.

Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist) cadres blew up an Airtel mobile phone tower at Bage Bar village under Kothi Police Station in Gaya District on December 14, reports The Times of India. The tower was blown up on the eve of the Maoist-sponsored bandh (shut down strike) to register protest against the ongoing ‘Operation Greenhunt’. The bandh virtually crippled life in Dumaria, Imamganj, Banke Bazar, Raushanganj, Mohanpur and Gurua Police Station areas of Gaya District and Nabinagar, Amba, Deo and Madanpur areas of neighbouring Aurangabad District. The impact of the bandh under Gurua Police Station area of Gaya has caused concern in administrative circles as, in recent times, Maoist activity in the Gurua area was much less and earlier bandh calls given by the Maoists were largely ignored by the villagers. It is being seen as resurgence of Maoists in the area.
