An assessment report on ‘red terror’ prepared by the State police said that left-wing extremism, Naxalism has grown in Bihar in the past two years especially since the creation of the State of Jharkhand. The report refers to the growing threat consequent to the merger of the People’s War Group (PWG) and the Communist Party of India, Marxist-Leninist, CPI-ML (Party Unity). It says, "the People’s War in Bihar is more systematic, calculative and expansionist of all the Naxalite outfits. This organisation is well versed in explosive techniques and generally targets police personnel ruthlessly". The report has also pointed out to the demoralisation that set in the Bihar police after the PWG entered the State and has stressed on the need to sensitise the police force to the security aspects. Besides, the report expresses concern over the increasing cases of landmine blasts, deaths of police personnel and loss of police weaponry. The report also notes that both the PWG and the Maoist Communist Centre (MCC) have been growing at the cost of mainstream moderate Left parties, like Communist Party of India Marxist-Leninist CPI(ML), the Communist Party of India (CPI) and the Communist Party of India, Marxist CPI-M, among others. It sees a dangerous trend of more violent organisations "eating into" the bases of the moderate Left, predicting a more "bloody battle in the future".

In a major operation, police unearthed huge ammunition dumps and seized sophisticated weapons belonging to Naxalites and other extremist organisations in Warangal, Nizamabad and Karimnagar districts on March 26. Giving this information to the media on March 27, State police chief P Ramulu said Warangal district police seized among other things eight DBBL guns, one .303 rifle, 200 rounds of AK 47 ammunition in the forest area near Dubbagudem hidden by the Communist Party of United States of India (CPUSI). The arms and ammunition were meant to be used against the government, he added. In Nizamabad district, police recovered 586 grenades stored in three huge drums and 194 grenade bases belonging to the People's War Group (PWG) Naxalites. Stating that the Naxals had acquired them from Bihar, Ramulu said Bihar police were being alerted. Another huge dump containing 110 AK 47 rounds, 506 .303 rounds, two DBBL guns and PWG literatures was unearthed by police from Singampally forest area in Karimnagar district, he added. The seizure of some double barrel guns in Karimnagar had the markings of ''Khalsa''. This has strengthened suspicions that the PWG could have opened a gun running channel with Punjab terrorists. ''We will alert the Intelligence Bureau about this for further enquiry,'' said Ramulu. Reports also the arms seized in Karimnagar district could have come from a factory in Jammu and Kashmir. Separately, Ramulu said those supporting and abetting Naxals would come under the purview of the newly passed Prevention of Terrorism Bill. He said more stringent laws were needed to crush the Naxalites. The police chief added that 106 Naxalites had surrendered in 2002 due to various reasons, which included disillusionment with the movement, while 169 extremists were arrested. There might be 650 to 700 underground armed Naxals active in the state, he added.

Media reports, quoting official sources, said the economic blockade enforced by left-wing extremists––Naxalites of the Maoist Communist Centre (MCC) and the People’s War Group (PWG), in Jharkhand caused Rs 1.50 billion loss to the State. The Naxal groups had called the blockade from May 5 to protest the Prevention of Terrorism Act (POTA) as well as to denounce the ban on them. Reports said the Coal India Limited (CIL) and the Bharat Coking Coal Limited (BCCL) were the worst affected by the blockade and had together suffered a loss of approximately Rs 800 million. The Indian Railways bore the brunt of the Naxalites’ ire during the blockade and its losses added up to approximately Rs 500 million, said reports.

Inspired by Maoist insurgents in Nepal, Naxalites in Chattisgarh and Jharkhand have stepped up violence, police sources claimed. Lack of adequate manpower and the Union government’s alleged neglect of reforms in the areas have been cited as reasons for this. Reportedly, the Naxals have introduced new tactics of dare devilry against the police. A Special Armed Force (SAF) camp in Balrampur district was burned down just before the visit of State Home Minister Nand Kumar Patel. Besides, a forest department office was set ablaze earlier in May (this month). A number of killings of civilians, supposedly police informers, were also reported recently.

Reports said, on August 17, a Naxalite cadre recruited in April 2002 into the Banswada-Yellareddigua Local Guerrilla Squad (LGS) of left-wing extremists––Naxalites––of the People’s War Group (PWG), surrendered to the Nizamabad district police chief, on August 16. His commitment to Naxal ideology was allegedly not steadfast and was also not able to put up with the tough life in the forests. He had reportedly surrendered, on August 16, after he was ‘convinced’ of the futility of extremist ideology and on gathering that the state–through the police––was undertaking several development works in his native Bhavanipet village, Lingampet Mandal (administrative unit), Nizamabad district. Only recently, residents of the village had driven away the Naxals after police undertook relief activity following a fire accident in the village, which had brought them closer to the state and its authorities, who are opposed by the Naxalites.

According to media reports, addressing the annual senior police officers’ conference in Hyderabad on September 4, State police chief P Ramulu said the activities of the PWG are on the rise, particularly in the coastal Andhra region. He said, "The attacks on Anakapalli and Chodavaram police stations, both located in urban areas last month, clearly showed that Naxalism has spread across the State and it is time the Superintendents of Police tone up policing in the so-called peace areas." According to police sources, during the last two years, coastal Andhra witnessed 12 landmine blasts, 27 killings of police personnel and 124 other extremist-related crime, besides snatching of 39 weapons, as against a steep reduction in similar crime in the Telangana region. The statistics were revealing a clear shift in PWG-focus from Telangana to non-affected areas in Andhra Pradesh. Chief Minister N Chandrababu Naidu, who also participated in the conference, reportedly told the police officers to go on ‘hot-pursuit’ of the extremists, and assured them of all help from the government in that direction.

Speaking to media persons in Ranchi, Inspector General of Police (Zonal) Rajeev Kumar said, "It takes just 30 minutes to plant a landmine... The subordinate personnel have been sensitised about the threat perception to their lives arising out of landmine blast. They have also been asked to anticipate such dangers and avoid easy identification". He added that the Naxalites "have switched over to landmine blasts as encounters had proved disastrous". Also taking a leaf out of the policy of Andhra Pradesh government, the Jharkhand government would now be hiring private vehicles for patrolling in Naxalite-affected areas, as police vehicles are too easily identifiable. Meanwhile, media reports said growing incidents of Naxal-related violence have forced the government to review the rehabilitation policy announced in the year 2001. A total of 270 persons, including 121 police personnel, were killed in Naxal violence in the State in the last two years, reports said. Reports indicate that the policy has failed to lure Naxalites back to the social mainstream.

According to media reports, the left-wing extremist—Naxalite—People’s War Group (PWG) has claimed to have built seven new guerrilla zones spread across several States and its endeavouring to form more such bases in other ‘strategic’ places.
