Arjun Prasad, Station House Officer (SHO) of the Amas Police Station has been put under suspension on the charge of dereliction of duty during the Naxal [Left Wing Extremism (LWE)] operation on the all important GT Road on the night of May 24, reports The Times of India. At least 32 trucks were torched by the Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist) cadres in one of its major operation on the always busy National Highway. The Police came in for criticism for its allegedly lethargic and delayed response that virtually gave a free run to the Maoists who were in total command of a 2 kilometres long stretch of the highway between Bishunpur and Taradih villages of the Amas Police Station area. Confirming the suspension of the SHO, Gaya Senior Superintendent of Police (SSP) Manu Maharaj said that he would not tolerate any lapse on the part of the Police. The SSP also said that raids were being conducted to nab the ultras involved in the incident that grabbed national headlines. No arrest has so far been made in this connection, said the SSP. However, bandh (general shut down) called by the Maoists was almost total in the Naxal infested Dumaria, Imamganj, Banke Bazar and Raushanganj Police Station areas of Gaya District.

The Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist) East Division Committee on August 8 called for a bandh (shutdown strike) on Independence Day, August 15, reports The Times of India. They also urged the people to boycott I-Day celebrations and instead hoist black flags on the day. In a press note issued to the media, the East Division Committee alleged that in the past 68 years after independence, the poor had continued to remain poor and it was only the rich that prospered in the country. The Maoists alleged that various parties that formed the government since independence were violating the special acts for tribal areas such as 1/70, 1996 PESA, 5th and 6th schedules, 2006 Forest Rights Acts to make way for corporate bigwigs like Tata, Posco, Birla, Vedanta, Essar, Anrak and Jindal to earn from these regions. The Maoists said the government was implementing phase-III of ‘Operation Green Hunt’ to oppress the anti-mining agitations of the tribals.

The Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist) has called a bandh (general shutdown strike) in Malkangiri (Odisha) on September 25 in protest against the recent surrender of villagers in the District to Police, reports The Times of India. Over 500 people in four villages surrendered to Police in less than three weeks. In a letter to mediapersons on September 15, secretary of the Maoists' Malkangiri division committee Poonam Chandra urged the locals to cooperate with them on the bandh. "Police are misleading villagers by using priests, traditional healers and quacks against us. The surrender of villagers is staged and managed by security personnel to weaken the Maoist movement," the letter said. Police have dismissed the Maoists allegations as baseless and said villagers are withdrawing support of their own will.

The Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist) on October 11, has called for a bandh (general shut down strike) in the Vizag Agency areas of Visakhapatnam District on October 12 and 13 demanding the Telugu Desam Party (TDP) government withdraw move to mine bauxite in the Agency area. In a handwritten note sent to reporters in the Agency areas reportedly by CPI-Maoist East Division secretary Kailasam, the Maoists said the TDP was solely responsible for the abduction of three TDP tribal leaders from GK Veedhi mandal (administrative unit). TDP mandal party president Mamidi Balayya Padal, senior leader Vandalam Balayya and District committee member Mukkala Mahesh were taken away from their homes at Kothaguda village in GK Veedhi mandal on October 5, by a group of Maoists. While charging the Maoists with using the bogey of bauxite mining the TDP government was trying to push through its MNC driven agenda of mining in the ecologically sensitive region, Kailasam said. The government was not taking note of the series of protests by tribals on the bauxite mining issue. Worse, the police acting as stooges of its political masters were trying to muzzle the dissent by cutting off the public address system when a former legislator was speaking at a recent meeting in Koyyuru. The Police tried to stall another public meeting on the issue at Darakonda, the Maoist leader noted in his letter.

The Community Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist) on December 6 gave a call to the people in Agency area to observe ‘protest week’ from December 21 and a bandh (general shutdown strike) on December 26 against the State and Central Governments’ move to take up bauxite mining in Agency area, reports The Hindu. Secretary of CPI-Maoist’s Andhra-Odisha Border Special Zonal Committee (AOBSZC) Chandramouli in a press release sent to reporters in Agency area on December 6 urged the people to take up arms to assert their rights over the forest. They must fight with inspiration from Alluri Sitaramaraju and support Manyam Pithuri Sena of the party and form revolutionary people's committees to take up armed struggle. He said that temporary stalling of GO No. 97 that facilitates bauxite mining in Jerrela area was a ploy of Chief Minister N. Chandrababu Naidu to douse the anger of people and to buy time to increase the attacks on people and to dump more police forces. He was trying to bring division among the Girijans by offering them false packages though he was aware of the fact that bauxite mining would bring great harm to the livelihood of the Girijans and displace a large number of them and also cause extremely serious environmental problem. But the Chief Minister and Central Government are determined to hand over the natural wealth to Anrak company, the Maoist leader said. He also said the Telugu Desam Party (TDP), Congress, the YSR Congress, which is an offshoot of the Congress, and the Left parties have the track record of trying to go against the wishes of people. The party wanted the Girijans to drive away the TDP and BJP leaders from the Agency area.
