This revelation came on a day when the State Government said that Police reports indicated the presence of Maoists and PSBJC cadres in the violence there.

"Those killed and injured [in the Netai violence] were all supporters of our movement and did not belong to any political party," he asserted.

The bandh mostly hit bauxite mining and transportation as trucks carrying the ore on two routes from Upper Pat and Sereng Dag mines kept off these roads in the District.

State Police in the year 2010 had arrested 569 hardcore Maoists including 47 Maoists above the rank of area commanders across the State. Director General of Police (DGP) Neyaz Ahmed applauded the efforts of Police personnel and expressed satisfaction over the achievements of the Police. "Several top leaders of rebels like Nune Narshima Reddy, Udaiji were arrested and over a dozen of their training camps were busted by the Police," Ahmed said. Meanwhile, the Police lost 24 of its troopers in anti-Naxal [Left Wing Extremism] operations in 2010 as compared to 2009 when it lost 64 of its troopers. "Most of the jawans had died in landmine explosions triggered by Maoists," Ahmed said. "We expect more success in 2011 and we will change the strategy slightly like moving Security Forces to new places and launching operation on border areas, and having more cooperation with Bihar, Odisha and West Bengal," Ahmed said. "During the year-end operations, the police had busted a Maoist laboratory in Bokaro that got vital information which scuttled their (Maoist operational) plans," he added.

Army has asked the Government to finalise "Rules of Engagement" as it gets ready to open a new training facility in Chhattisgarh, but denied the move is linked to combating Naxalites [Left Wing Extremism] in the State. "We have deliberately stayed out of any commitment to tackle Left Wing Extremism, except for giving advice or training," Chief of Army Staff General V.K. Singh said at the annual press conference on the eve of the Army Day. Gen. Singh said the Army was facing problem in training its personnel as there was not enough land available and the proposal to set it up in Chhattisgarh under the Central Command forms part of an integrated plan drawn earlier. Since the Army would be present in the area, it had sought for clarifications from the government on ‘Rules of Engagement' to determine the extent to which its personnel were protected from civil laws. Gen. Singh said the clarification was needed to determine how to engage attackers in case of attacks on the training camp, either by instigation or design. While it is clear that the force does not require any permission to fire in self-defence, the issue is whether resultant causalities on the attackers would attract criminal procedures against the Army personnel and to what extent they are exempt. "We are neither operating in the area nor are seeking protection under the Armed Forces (Special Powers) Act," the Army Chief said. The new military establishments being created in Chhattisgarh include a sub-area command, headed by a Brigadier, in Raipur, a training centre and field firing range in Narayanpur and the Special Forces establishment in Bilaspur.

Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist) has called for a Bharat bandh (all India general shut down) in eight States on February 7 and three days of protests against price rise, the Government's move to further hike petrol price, rampant corruption cases like 2G spectrum allocation and the Centre's offensive against Maoists, according to a statement released by the party's Central Committee (CC) on January 15. In the statement, spokesperson of the party, Abhay said the recent petrol price hike would lead to further inflation and manifest itself as a rise in the prices of food and essential items. He called on party cadres and supporters to protest against the rise in prices and the recent 2G scam. The release also added, "We are making it clear that there would be no bandh during the protest days and that ‘Bharat Bandh’ would be observed in six States West Bengal, Jharkhand, Bihar, Odisha, Chhattisgarh, Andhra Pradesh and three Districts in Maharashtra - Gadchiroli, Gondia, Chandrapur and one District in Madhya Pradesh - Balaghat. Medical services and people attending examinations and interviews will be excluded from the bandh activities."

Jharkhand Police has adopted the latest technology of 3D mapping to take on the Maoists in the State. "The 3D mapping is helping us in getting familiar with the terrain, forests, hills and other places. It helps the Security Forces involved in anti-Maoist operations," Superintendent of Police of anti-Maoist operation Apoorva said. The 3D mapping gives the clear cut position of a place from various directions. "If we launch operation from one side of the hill, we get information of Maoists movement from the other side of the hill. Such information helps in major operations against Maoists," Apoorva said. In addition, Police working in the Maoist-hit areas have been asked to sharpen their personal observation instinct rather relying completely on the modern sophisticated gadgets to detect and uproot landmines as part of its renewed exercise to flush out the Left Wing Extremists (LWE) from the State. "Yes, we want the officers (engaged in the anti-Maoist operations) to specialize on the personal observation front as far as detecting landmines is concerned," said Director General of Police Neyaz Ahmed.

Odisha Government has decided to strengthen its anti-Naxalite [Left wing Extremist] Force, Official sources said. "A proposal to increase strength of Special Operation Group (SOG) and District Voluntary Force (DVF) has been accepted by the State Government," Director General of Police (DGP) Manmohan Praharaj told PTI. Out of vacant 2000 SOG only 1500 has been appointed. Stating that at least 50 SOG units (one unit comprises 30 personnel) were now engaged in anti-Maoist operations, the DGP said it was likely to be doubled. The IG (operation) would soon prepare a blue print on strengthening for augmentation of the anti-Maoist force including the DVF, he said. The decision was taken at a meeting chaired by Chief Minister Naveen Patnaik. With about 18 of the State's 30 Districts affected by Maoists, there were 12 battalions of central para-military force to assist the State Police to fight the Maoists. While Border Security Force has five battalions, Central Reserve Police Force has seven. The decision to further strengthen SOG and DVF came in the wake of the Centre's suggestion to create own striking force against the Maoists, Praharaj said.

A group of around 15 cadres of the Communist Part of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist) set ablaze five vehicles being used in the laying of a road under the Pradhan Mantri Gram Sadak Yojna (PMGSY) at Barada village in the Badagada Police Station limits in Sorada block of Ganjam District on January 17. The Maoists pasted some posters at Barada and Merikote villages before escaping. Through these posters they threatened the contractor to stop using machines in the construction work. They also asked the contractor to pay INR 200 per day as wages to both male and female workers. It is suspected that it is an effort by Maoists to garner support of menial labourers of the area and to disrupt work on improvement of road communication in remote areas. The Maoists also cut down trees near Gajalbadi village to block the road communication between Sorada in the District and Daringbadi in Kandhamal District.

Meanwhile, three Maoists, identified as Malini Hansda (26), Baburam Murmu (20) and Dhiren Soren (18), surrendered in Bankura District, to join the mainstream on January 31, reports Telegraph. Hansda was initially been inducted into the Ranibandh squad of the outfit. She said the “abject poverty in which I grew up caused in me a sense of disillusionment with the existing system” and “became attracted” to Maoist ideology during a trip to her village, Mahadeb Sinan, in late 2009. Police said Hansda had been given training in arms handling and had also attended “ideology classes”. “About a year ago, she was shifted to the Belpahari squad in West Midnapore,” a Police Officer said. Bankura Superintendent of Police Pranab Kumar said Hansda had been tasked with “holding lectures on Maoist ideology, basically brainwashing new recruits”. He added West Midnapore Police wanted Hansda in connection with arms, arson and sedition cases. Hansda said that a few months ago, she became “disillusioned with the hopes and promises that Maoist extremism had once offered”. “I read about the Government’s offer to rehabilitate Maoists who surrender. I discussed the matter with my mother and uncles before surrendering,” she said.
