In the morning of April 6, around 150 suspected cadres of the Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist) attempted to explode a Government school using dynamite at Ketaki village in the Aurangabad District, The Hindu reported. However, the school building was not damaged as the explosion was not powerful. The Maoists took away a generator of the school before the Police reached the spot. According to Police sources, the ongoing attacks on schools by the Maoists have been an attempt to foil the State administration's bid to house Central Reserve Police Force and other para-military forces in schools for deployment in Maoist affected areas during the Parliament elections scheduled to be held in April-May.

About 60-armed cadres of the Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist) attacked the base office of SPML Road Construction Company under Chandramandi outpost of Chakai Police station, about 40 kilometers from the headquarters of Jamui District, at around 11.30 pm and abducted eight of its security guards in Jamui District in the night of September 2, reported Times of India. Two of the guards, however, managed to escape during an encounter that later took place between the extremists and Police. The Maoists raided the SPML plant at Hariondhi village and damaged pay loaders and three trucks, the Additional Director General (Headquarters) Neelmani said. The Maoists also set ablaze six vans and damaged the store where construction materials were kept. Neelmani said though Special Task Force personnel, assisted by district-armed policemen, engaged the Maoists in an encounter for some time, the extremists managed to escape into the thick forest lining the Jamui-Chakai Road. During the exchange of fire between Police and Maoists that went on for about half an hour, two of the abducted guards managed to slip away. The other six were taken away by the Maoists, who threatened the company with dire consequences if it did not pay levy. The non-payment of levy demanded by the Maoists from the private firm owner was allegedly the reason for the attack, the officer added. Meanwhile, sources said SPML has suffered losses worth INR 2 crore in the Maoist attack. PTI reports that over 400 Maoists were involved in the attack.

A makeshift structure, once used by the state irrigation department, was blown up by the Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist) cadres at Bansua village near Sonua block (administrative division) in the West Singhbhum District in the night of October 17, reports Telegraph. Confirming the incident, West Singhbhum SP Akhilesh Kumar Jha said the structure had been put up six years ago, but was abandoned later. “The incident took place past midnight, but we only got to know of it early this morning. We immediately started long-range patrolling in Sonua and Goelkera jungles as well as combing operations in Bansua village to apprehend the rebels responsible,” Jha added. He also said that Police or paramilitary forces had never used the structure for anti-insurgency operations in Saranda or Sonua. He said the extremists might have blown up the structure anticipating its use by the Police in future. Further, an intelligence source said, “Right from the time the Naxalites entered Saranda forest nine years ago, they have blown up each and every forest guesthouse in the area. They wanted to ensure that the police or paramilitary forces did not use forest guesthouses or lodges to take shelter.”

The Hindu reports that the military wing of the Maoist-backed People's Committee against Police Atrocity (PCPA) - Sidhu Kanu Gana Militia - vandalised property belonging to the State Government in two separate incidents in West Midnapore District late on October 29 and October 30. A group of armed men attacked the Silda Range Office in the Binpur block late on October 29 and ransacked and set ablaze six buildings. The group assaulted the officer-in-charge and looted money. It left behind posters demanding the unconditional release of PCPA convener Chhatradhar Mahato and other leaders of the outfit. In another incident on October 30, a group ransacked the Panchayat (village level local self government institution) office at Makli in the Goaltore area and later set it ablaze. Superintendent of Police Manoj Kumar Verma said the PCPA was behind both attacks and that they were being investigated. "The Police had been claiming that the PCPA is an offshoot of the Maoists and was involved in all kinds of violent activities. But only after they launched the so-called armed wing was it proved that there is no difference between the Maoists and the PCPA supporters," Verma said.

The extremists were believed to have planted the landmine beneath a culvert to restrict the force movement on combing operation, continuing for two days following Maoists attack at Relhatur, a nearby village, on December 19. The Maoists reportedly had damaged three Government buildings, including the local panchayat (village level local self Government situation) office, at Relhatur. Around 100 armed Maoists stormed into Relhatur village and blew up the panchayat office and its adjoining panchayat store building. An eyewitness said the Maoists were shouting anti-Government slogans, daring villagers to call the Police. The extremists also pasted hand written posters at nearby villages of Rengeda and Topadih. The people of Mahupada, Jharbeda, Relhatur, Sanbalijore and Nangalkata village had earlier left their houses out of fear and staged a dharna (protest) before K Balang Police Station and NH No 215 demanding security. The villagers had returned only three days ago, after security camps were opened in their villages. The District administration had held a “civil action” programme at Relhatur on December 17 and announced several development programmes and appealed to villagers to cooperate with police to tackle the menace in their area. Superintendent of Police (Rourkela) Diptesh Patnaik said additional Police force with senior officers will be rushed to Relhatur and joint combing operation will be intensified.
