According to Times of India, security force personnel with the help of Indian Air Forces choppers searched the hills and dense forests of the Nayagarh and Ganjam districts and recovered a truckload of arms and ammunition lying abandoned in the Gosama hills of Ganjam district on February 18. The abandoned objects included around 400 rifles and more than 60,000 cartridges. However, most of the sophisticated AK-47 assault rifles looted during the Nayagarh attack on February 15-night was not part of the recovered items. The recovery is nearly 40 percent of the weaponry that the Maoists looted in the attack, Chief Minister Naveen Patnaik informed the State legislative assembly. "There are three IAF helicopters helping us intercept the ultras on the run. We are pursuing them inside the jungle, along the hills and in the villages in 10 to 12 different operation zones from Kalingaghati to Bhanjanagar and Gallery to Chakapada "said an unnamed police officer."

Naveen Patnaik on February 19 announced a series of measures that his government had decided to take up to counter extremism, according to Kalinga Times. Patnaik announced in the State Legislative Assembly that all police stations and armouries will be fortified and vacancies filled up expeditiously at the earliest. About 1300 posts of Constables and Sepoys and 300 other ranks will be created for the OSAP (Special Security) Battalions for guarding of the newly fortified police stations. The strength of the Special Operation Group will be increased by sanctioning 1000 additional posts. Five India Reserve Battalions (IRBs) will be created after obtaining sanction from the Government of India. The Special Intelligence Wing for Naxalite (left-wing extremism) activities will be strengthened by suitably augmenting it. One post of Superintendent of Police (Technical) will be created for this Wing. The Director General of Police will be authorised to give appointment to the next of kin of the deceased police personnel in the anti-Naxalite operations and attacks commensurate with their qualifications and eligibility. And, more districts will be covered under the scheme of Security Related Expenditure with the approval of the Central government.

While replying to an adjournment motion on the law and order situation moved by the Opposition in the wake of the Maoist attack and arms loot in Nayagarh on February 15-night, Chief Minister Naveen Patnaik on February 21 claimed that the Maoist violence in Orissa was much less when compared to the neighbouring States, reports Kalinga Times. "The naxal violence profile in the State remains much less compared to the neighbouring naxal affected States like Chhattisgarh, Jharkhand, Andhra Pradesh and Bihar," Patnaik said in the State Legislative Assembly. "Whenever we discuss Nayagarh, are naturally reminded of horrifying incidents of neighbouring States such as the Dantewada incident of July 2007 in Chhattisgarh in which 23 persons were killed, the Ranibodli incident of Chhattisgarh on March 15, 2007 where 54 police personnel were killed, the incident of Chilkhari in Jharkhand on October 27, 2007 where the son of Babulal Marandi, former Chief Minister of Jharkhand was killed," Patnaik said in his statement. "While 52 incidents involving 15 deaths (13 civilians and two security personnel) took place in our State during the year 2007, 538 incidents involving 350 deaths (180 security personnel and 170 civilians) took place in Chhattisgarh, 421 incidents involving 150 deaths (11 security personnel and 139 civilians) took place in Jharkhand," Patnaik added.

Orissa Chief Minister Naveen Patnaik urged the Union Home Minister Shivraj Patil on February 29 to consider the State government's proposal for long term deployment of two battalions of the para-military Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF) in the State to deal with the left-wing extremism, reports Kalinga Times. Patnaik, who met Patil in New Delhi, also sought the Central Government's assistance in raising an additional five India Reserve Battalions (IRB) in the State. The Home Minister has reportedly agreed to the demand of giving adequate CRPF force and five IR Battalions. Patnaik further asked Patil to provide services of experienced para-military personnel of different categories on deputation basis from Assam Rifles, Indo-Tibetan Border Protection Force, Border security Force (BSF) or CRPF for interim deployment and training of the newly recruited personnel. The Chief Minister urged the Centre to include six more districts namely, Deogarh, Kandhamal, Jajpur, Sambalpur, Dhenkanal, and Nayagarh under the Security Related Expenditure Scheme and requested the Centre to increase the scale of allocation of funds to at least INR 20 crore per annum. Patil was also requested to increase allocation under the Police Modernisation Scheme for Orissa from INR 27 crore to INR 60 crore and sanction at least INR 10 crore for the Commissionerate of Police set up for the twin cities of Bhubaneswar and Cuttack. The Home Minister agreed to provide necessary support for training of the Police personnel and increase the allocation of funds.

According to Statesman, a recent report prepared by the Union Home Ministry states that the Maoists are steadily spreading their activities in new areas of the West Bengal whereas a majority of the Maoist-infested states have slowly pushed the outfit into a corner over the past four years. In West Bengal, a total of 12 police stations were identified as Maoist-infested in 2006. The number was four in 2003. After 2003, the Maoists have gained ground in the state. In 2004, Maoists made their presence felt in six police station areas and in 2005, the number of affected police stations reached to seven. As the number reached to 12 in 2006, it clearly appeared the state failed to stop the spread of Maoist activities here. In comparison to West Bengal, other Maoist-infested states like Andhra Pradesh, Bihar and Jharkhand dealt with the problem more efficiently. These states not only stopped the spread of Naxalite (left-wing extremists) violence but also “recaptured” some areas where the extremists had earlier made their presence felt, the report indicates. In Andhra Pradesh, the total number of Maoist-infested police stations were 183 in 2003 but it came down to 93 in 2006. Similarly in Bihar, the number of Maoist-infested police stations came down to 69 in 2006. In 2003, the state had a total of 100 affected police stations. Jharkhand also dealt with the problem efficiently. In 2003, the state had 96 affected police stations in terms of Maoist violence but in 2006 the number came down to 85. However, in some states like Orissa and Chhattisgarh, Maoists have spread their activities in new areas during the period. Overall in the country, Maoist activities have been curved significantly. In 2003 the total number of Naxalite affected police stations was 491 but in 2006 the number came down to 395. The report was prepared with the figure available till 2006. Meanwhile, Inspector General of Police (Law and Order), Raj Kanojia, said that till date 13-14 police stations in three districts, Bankura, Purulia and Midnapore West, were affected in the State.

According to New Indpress, the Orissa Government has decided to prepare a holistic plan to combat the increasing Maoist activities in the State. A decision to this effect was taken at a high-level meeting presided over by Home Secretary T. K. Mishra on April 16. The meeting decided that developmental activities as well as security preparedness will be given priority in the plan. In the first phase, the plan will be implemented in the Rayagada and Malkangiri districts as a pilot project. This will be executed in the Sambalpur, Deogarh and Gajapati districts in the next phase. The Centre has made a provision of INR 500 crore for implementation of the programme over a period of five years in all the Maoist-affected States. The plan will be implemented in 81 districts of Andhra Pradesh, Bihar, Chhattisgarh, Jharkhand, Madhya Pradesh and Maharashtra. The Home Secretary said an empowered committee headed by the Chief Secretary has been constituted for preparation of the action plan. The other members of the committee include the Director General of Police, the Development Commissioner, Agriculture Production Commissioner and the Home Secretary. Mishra said the State Government will submit a report to the Centre in this connection soon seeking financial assistance of INR 25 crore for 2008-09. Other than developmental activities, the plan will include fortification of prisons and police stations. Referring to the decision to fortify all armouries in the State, he said this will be completed within six months. While Malkangiri and Rayagada have been included in category-1 Maoist- affected districts, Deogarh, Gajapati and Sambalpur are in category-2. Ganjam, Koraput, Nabarangpur,Mayurbhanj, Keonjhar and Sundargarh are in category-3 districts. Besides, Gajapati, Ganjam,Keonjhar, Koraput, Malkangiri, Mayurbhanj, Nabarangpur, Rayagada and Sundargarh districts have been included in the security related expenditure scheme.

The Union Minister of State for Home Affairs, Sri Prakash Jaiswal, informed the Rajya Sabha (Upper House of Parliament) on April 16 that cannabis cultivation and its trade have become a source of finance for the Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist) in Andhra Pradesh, Bihar, Jharkhand and Orissa, reports Economic Times. Jaiswal said that Maoists also get protection money from narcotics traders who engage in trafficking and also safe passage money from narcotics smugglers. "In its strongholds, the CPI (Maoist) collects 'levy' from licensee cannabis cultivators who cultivate excess land over and above the permitted limits," he added. The Minister also mentioned that there is no specific evidence available to indicate any nexus between the country's left-wing extremists, the Maoists of Nepal and Pakistan's Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI).

On August 2, the Orissa Government demanded four additional battalions of paramilitary forces and at least one chopper to be deployed in operations against the left-wing extremists in the State, reports Zee News. Chief Minister Naveen Patnaik, in a letter to the Union Home Minister Shivraj Patil, said that though Orissa, Chhattisgarh and Andhra Pradesh were facing similar problems, the Union Government had adopted different yardsticks towards each State.
