According to Times of India, the Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist) has attacked mobile telephone communication systems in six States, particularly in the last three years. During this period, the Maoists have blown up as many as 62 mobile telephone towers in six Maoist-affected States. Sources in the Union Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA) said the highest number of towers, 20, was destroyed by the Maoists in Chhattisgarh where during 2008 alone 14 mobile telephone towers of both private and Government networks were attacked by the insurgents. In Bihar, the Maoists blew up 14 towers in 2008. Four other States which faced Maoists attacks on mobile telephone towers are Orissa, Jharkhand, Andhra Pradesh and Maharashtra. "Maoists believe many police informers use mobile network to inform security forces about their movement and activities which resulted arrest of several of their leaders and that is why they try to target the towers," an unnamed official said. Jharkhand, which did not see any attack on mobile towers till 2007, saw nine such attacks which disrupted the communication network in several Maoists-affected regions. In 2005, the Maoists had blown up eight mobile towers while in 2006, they targeted just five. Further, in 2007, the Maoists destroyed six mobile towers and in 2008, 43 towers were attacked.

Andhra Pradesh Home Minister K Jana Reddy has said that not more than 150-160 cadres of the Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist) could be present in the State, reports Times of India. Speaking to reporters after a high-level review meeting on the post-election law and order situation at the State Secretariat on May 4 he said, "We have very effectively tackled the Maoists over the past few years and now they have been reduced to nothing. At best, there could be some 150-160 cadres of the outlaws hiding underground in the state." He further said that talks initiated by the Congress government in late 2004 proved effective in tackling left-wing extremist menace. "Though the talks failed, we could very effectively curb Maoist activity in the state. Many of them have given up arms and surrendered before the police", he said.

According to Express Buzz, Uday, the secretary of Bansadhara divisional committee, revealed during interrogations after being arrested from Gudari jungles in Rayagada District on April 21 that the Oriya-Telugu feeling has created rift among the Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist) cadres operating in Orissa-Andhra Pradesh border. While hardcore Maoists Basant, Ajad and Uday belong to Telugu community, Sabyasachi Panda is the lone Oriya and his ascendancy in the hierarchy has not gone down well among the cadres. Speaking to media persons on May 13, Superintendent of Police A.K. Singh said because of this rift, the Orissa cadres have no stability and are working under duress. He hoped that more Maoists would surrender as the State has one of the best surrender policies.

The Communist Party of India-Marxist-Leninist (CPI-ML) has called for a bandh (shutdown) in the Andhra Orissa border (AOB) region on May 20 and 21 in protest against the alleged fake encounters being carried out by the Andhra and Orissa governments. In a statement released in Visakhapatnam on May 14, the AOB special zone secretary Bhaskar said the outfit would observe a protest week from May 15 to 21 and demanded the release of the arrested cadres. “The chief ministers of both Andhra Pradesh and Orissa are giving much priority to multinationals in the name of development which only gave scope for exploitation of the poor”, he said.

The Hindu reports that the Union Government will soon launch a new scheme, 'Modernisation of Forest Administration', to improve the forest administration and simultaneously tackle the growing menace of Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist) cadres in Orissa, Jharkhand, Chhattisgarh, Madhya Pradesh and Bihar, said the Union Minister of State for Environment and Forests Jairam Ramesh on June 7. He said as many as 186 tribal-dominated Districts in the country were affected by the Maoist insurgency and that there is a close connection between forest areas and Maoists. These 186 Districts comprise 30 per cent of India's land area and 60 per cent of the country's forest area, the Union Minister noted. "We are working on the details of this scheme and the Centre will extend full financial assistance to the State Governments in implementing it. Andhra Pradesh has not been included in the scheme as it has been relatively successful in tackling the Maoist menace," he added.

The Maharashtra Director General of Police (DGP), S. S. Virk, said on August 5 that the Government will launch a joint operation along with the other left-wing extremism-affected States to get rid of the insurgency, according to PTI. The Government will launch a joint operation with Chhattisgarh, Madhya Pradesh, Orissa and Andhra Pradesh soon to curb the growing Maoist insurgency in the bordering areas, Virk told the media after his visit to the insurgency-affected Gadchiroli District. The DGP hinted that the joint operation would start after the monsoon, as it would be difficult for forces to cope with the jungle terrain during incessant rains. He, however, refused to discuss the issue in detail.

According to The Hindu, Andhra Pradesh is contemplating to seek the Central Government’s approval for inclusion of three more Districts in the State in the list of areas declared as Maoist-affected. These Districts are Srikakulam, Vizianagaram and Visakhapatnam in north Coastal Andhra bordering the State of Orissa. At present, Khammam is the only District in Andhra Pradesh that finds place in the list of 33 districts across the country which has been declared as extremist-affected. Overall, Maoist activity has been on the decline in Andhra Pradesh, but the Government is reportedly seeking declaration of the three north Districts as Maoist-affected in view of the continuing activity in areas adjoining the Andhra Pradesh-Orissa border. Chief Minister Y.S. Rajasekhara Reddy is expected to put forth a request to this effect to Prime Minister Manmohan Singh and the concerned Union Ministers during his visit to New Delhi on August 17. The move, according to official sources, would ensure more focus on the affected areas while enabling the State to secure more funds under the Backward Region Grant Fund.

Police forces from Maharashtra, Chhattisgarh and Andhra Pradesh will be pooled together soon for joint operations to fight the Maoists in the border areas of the three States, said Maharashtra’s Police chief S. S Virk. “What is contemplated here is a joint operation, and I think we should see better operations in time to come,” Virk said at an Idea Exchange discussion organised by Indian Express in Mumbai on October 16, adding, that a specialised anti-Maoist training facility for the Maharashtra Police was also on the anvil and men were already being trained at the Greyhounds Academy in Andhra Pradesh. Virk said special emphasis is being placed on building expertise to fight the Maoists as the Maharashtra Police is at present not equipped for the job.

Times of India reports that cadres of the Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist) are suspected to be regrouping in a big way in Andhra Pradesh. The top Maoist leadership is concentrating on reviving the movement particularly in North Telangana. Intelligence sources claim that there is increased movement in areas where the insurgents have sought refuge along the North Telangana forest border with Maharashtra, Madhya Pradesh and Chhattisgarh. Sources said the CPI-Maoist is planning to restore its strength in North Telangana by launching agitations against open cast mines of Singareni Collieries, an issue which is likely to have local support. Towards this end, the extremists have reactivated its frontal organisation, the Singareni Karmika Samakya, which has a strong presence among the coal miners.

Central intelligence agencies have found fresh evidence of joint training camps and meetings conducted by the CPI-Maoist with the LTTE in the forests of south and central India, Times of India reports on October 26. The central intelligence has warned the States of Andhra Pradesh, Tamil Nadu, Chhattisgarh and Orissa on the alleged intrusion of the LTTE into Indian territorial waters. According to sources, a well-trained 12-member group of the LTTE has recently sneaked into India to join hands with the Maoists. ‘‘They entered north coastal Andhra via Kerala after splitting into three groups, one of which is suspected to have found a safe haven in Vizianagaram area,’’ sources said. Sources also said the Maoists could take the help of LTTE for training their military wing, the People’s Liberation Guerrilla Army.

The Andhra Pradesh Police on December 9 expressed apprehension that the Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist) cadres were infiltrating the ongoing agitation for a separate province of Telangana, according to The Hindu.

The Inspector-General of Police A. R. Anuradha, spokesperson of the State Police said, “We have received Intelligence reports that the movement has gone out of the students’ hands and that Maoists and other professional agitators are moving in.

The Maharashtra Government on Deepener 9 said it would soon launch an anti-Naxal (left wing extremist) operation in coordination with neighbouring Andhra Pradesh and Chhattisgarh, according to PTI. The State has three battalions of Central Paramilitary Forces and Policemen have been provided with necessary training and sophisticated weapons. We would soon launch an anti-Naxal operation in coordination with Andhra Pradesh and Chhattisgarh, Home Minister R. R. Patil told the Assembly. There has been a spurt in Maoist activities in Gadchiroli District. At least 17 Policemen were killed in a Naxal attack in Bhamragarh taluka (revenue division) of the District in October. A young road contractor was killed by a group of Naxalites on November 25, he said. The minister informed the House that 52 Policemen were killed by Naxalites between February and May 2009. The extremists were also disrupting developmental activities and terrorising contractors working in deep forests. There have been instances of the extremists snatching arms and ammunition of Forest Department officials while they were on patrolling duty, he added. As part of streamlining and strengthening the Police force in Gadchiroli, the worst Naxal-hit district has been divided into two parts - Gadchiroli and Aheri, Patil said. About 2,355 new posts of Policemen are being created for the newly set up Gadchiroli Police range. State Reserve Police Force (SRPF) Group No 13, based in Nagpur, will be shifted to Gadchiroli to beef up anti-Naxal defence, he said. Policemen in the newly created range will be equipped with motorcycles, binoculars, bullet-proof jackets, night vision goggles and anti-landmine vehicles among other equipment. Efforts are also on to procure a helicopter, the Minister said. The Government was providing INR five lakh compensation each to the families of those killed by Naxalites on suspicion of being Police informers, he said. Unemployed local youths in the 23-40 age group are being recruited on a priority basis in Police force to deal with the Naxal menace, Patil stated. Policemen posted in Naxal-infested areas are paid one and half times more salary due to difficult condition they operate in. They are also given 30-day special leave and additional allowances, the Minister said.

The Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist) stepping up violence in Visakha Agency area during the last one month or so could be a tactical move, felt Superintendent of Police (SP) Vineet Brij Lal in Visakhapatnam on December 17, The Hindu reports. Talking to reporters the SP said that the Maoists activity was being observed in Pedabayalu and Munchingput mandals (administrative divisions). This could be a new strategy of Maoists as they were mainly concentrated and active in Orissa in the Andhra-Orissa Border (AOB) region and to escape pressure from the Police there after the Narayanapatna incident and another reason might be because the Andhra Pradesh Police were now more engaged with the ongoing agitation on the Telangana issue. During the last few incidents it was noticed that the Maoists, who would come into Andhra Pradesh area from Orissa and retreat after committing a crime, were foraying deeper into the Andhra Pradesh area instead of their usual practice of creating incidents very near the border on Andhra Pradesh side. The Andhra Pradesh Police on their part were conducting orientation for its forces by conducting discussions on their operations to find out strengths and weaknesses. Violence witnessed during some incidents during the ongoing agitation might be related to the Maoists, he said. Visakhapatnam District received two platoons of Andhra Pradesh Special Police force, consisting of 60 members, and with 400 Armed Reserve and 900 civil Policemen, the force was sufficient to deal with the present level of agitation. On the reports that some of the Maoists leaders were moving around in the Agency area, Brij Lal said that the terrain in the District was their advantage and it was not possible to establish the communication network all over the area.

During the last two years, the Maoists disrupted work on laying of 10 roads in the Agency area by burning the vehicles engaged in the work on the plea that the roads were meant for bauxite mining. But the roads were in Pedabayalu, Munchingput and G. Madugula where bauxite mining was not planned. “This is a hypocrisy on the part of Maoists. By disrupting work on roads, they are also denying transport facility to the Girijans, for whom they are claiming to be fighting. They are not allowing road laying as they are scared of losing hold over the area”, Brij Lal said. He called upon the Girijans to chase away the Maoists when road was disrupted. Recently villagers of Boodaralla in Koyyuru mandal did not respond to a call from the Maoists to attend a meeting, he pointed out. The poster on Maoist leaders has photos and details of top leaders like Ganapathi, Ganganna, RK, Jampanna, Bhaskar, Sudhakar and some other active cadres. Reward on the heads of these Maoists ranged from INR 12 lakhs to INR 20,000. There are 67 underground cadres in the District. Poster on the ganja cultivation has photos of ganja crop being raised by the Girijans at the behest of Maoists, who the SP alleged were allowing each Girijan family to raise 200 plants. Some Girijans arrested recently in the ganja cases revealed that the Maoists were receiving some cut from the traders from Kerala and Tamil Nadu who were financing the cultivation and smuggling ganja to other parts of the country, Brij Lal concluded.

The Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist) is trying to resurface in Andhra Pradesh in a big way, the Director General of Police (DGP) R.R. Girish Kumar warned on December 30 but assured that Police were keeping “utmost guard and vigil”, reports IANS. The DGP said that Police were keeping “utmost guard and vigil” to thwart Maoists’ attempts. “There is a move (by Maoists) to resurface in Andhra Pradesh in a big way. Any such attempt will be repulsed with all the force at our command,” he said. Claiming that Maoist activity in the State had ebbed to the lowest in over a decade, the DGP said Police remained vigilant in view of the developments in neighbouring States. “We are monitoring their activities across the border. We hope to reverse any effort to cross over and set up bases in the state,” said Girish Kumar. He claimed to have received information about Maoists trying to regroup in Karimnagar, Adilabad and Warangal Districts. Andhra Pradesh, a former stronghold of Maoists, registered only 56 incidents of Maoist violence during 2009, against 96 last year. The number of incidents was as high as 576 in 2005. No Policeman was killed during 2009 while 34 Policemen were killed in 2008. The number of civilians killed has come down to 15 from 45 in 2008. The DGP said 13 Maoists were killed, 326 arrested and 91 surrendered during 2009. He also said that there were only 13 incidents of exchanges of fire with Police in 2009 as compared with 28 incidents in 2008, adds Indian Express. The State Police, including the elite Grey-Hounds, has received laurels for anti-Naxalite operations, the DGP added.
