Various alleged administrative and financial irregularities worth INR billion have been pointed out in the execution of development works in Bastar District by the State Accountant General (AG), reports The Hindu on January 29. In their inspection, AG officials found that works worth over INR 140 million under the Backward Regions Grant Fund (BRGF) were pending in Bastar District. These works should have been completed during the 12th Finance Commission, between 2005-06 and 2009-10. After this, the term of the 13th Finance Commission began. Works under the 12th Finance Commission could not have been approved after 2009-10, but it has been found while inspecting documents that various works were approved after the expiry of the 12th Finance Commission’s term, the inspection report by the office of the AG, which acts as a distant arm of the Comptroller and Accountant General, said. As many as 6,134 development works were approved between 2007-08 and 2011-12. Of these, 5,562 were completed and 562 works involving INR 100.6 million were not completed, the report said.

An assessment prepared by the Joint Intelligence Committee (JIC) Chairman Ajit Lal, titled as "Left-Wing Extremism: Trends in 2013," has warned of resurrection of a Communist Party of India- Maoist (CPI-Maoist) in the near future due to poor counter-Maoist efforts by the Nitish Kumar-led Bihar government, reports DNA on February 13. The report further said "Any respite, at this stage, such as provided by the feeble anti-Naxal response in Bihar, could be fatal to the gains made by security forces" and could help Maoists "form new battle ready company and units." Taking a dim view of Bihar, the assessment report notes a significant 57 percent increase in terms of killings in the state even though the rise in the number of incidents was only 5 percent.

The Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist) has been ranked fourth among the top 10 most active non-state armed groups in 2013, according to study released this week by IHS Jane’s Terrorism and Insurgency Centre, reports The Hindu. Among other insurgent groups listed in the top ten rankings are the Taliban (second rank), Bangladesh’s Islami Chhatra Shibir (ICS)- second, al-Qaeda in Iraq (fifth), al-Shabaab (sixth), Colombia’s FARC (seventh) and Syrian Jabhat al-Nusra (ninth). According to the IHS Jane’s latest ‘Global Terrorism and Insurgency Attack Index,’ a total of 258 attacks were claimed by, or attributed to, the CP-Maoist, even though this represented a 29 per cent decrease from the 362 attacks recorded in 2012. Matthew Henman, Manager of IHS Jane’s Terrorism and Insurgency Centre explained that the decrease in CPI-Maoist attacks not only came amid a wider 16 per cent decrease in attacks nationwide, but also a 19 per cent decrease in the number of recorded counter-terrorism operations. “As such, despite progress in the counter-insurgency against the CPI (Maoist), the fall in attacks was also likely somewhat attributable to authorities challenging the group less in its extensive area of operations in the so-called ‘Red Belt’ States,” he added.

The Centre has deputed 70 Indian Police Service (IPS) officers of Inspector General level and 6,000 troops to assist the Election Commission in ensuring free and fair elections in insurgency prone areas of the country, reports DNA on March 19. A majority of these IPS officers will be deputed in the Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist) affected regions of Chhattisgarh, Jharkhand, Odisha, Bihar, Maharashtra and Andhra Pradesh. Their brief is to oversee the deployment of paramilitary forces and coordinate and conduct operations with the help of the State Police to defeat Maoist' designs to carry out political assassinations and enforce their writ among tribals to boycott polls. In addition, 6,000 troops, mainly comprising of Commandos from Greyhound Force of Andhra Pradesh, Central Reserve Police Force's (CRPF) Commando Battalion for Resolute Action (CoBRA) and the Special Task Force (STF) to carry out precision strikes against CPI-Maoist in Chhattisgarh's Bastar region and surrounding border areas of Jharkhand, Odisha and Maharashtra. The commandos will be aided by air reconnaissance carried out simultaneously by four Israeli herons.

The Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist) wants the Election Commission of India to legalise the citizens' right to boycott polls, reports The Hindustan Times on March 20. The Maoists said this during a training camp in Gumla District on the Jharkhand-Chhattisgarh border. They also said the newly introduced None of the Above (NOTA) ballot option was meaningless, as those who disapproved of all candidates did not go to the polling booth and instead bogus voters were made to cast ballots. "Election boycott is a fundamental right and strength of the public. Hence, the people must be permitted to exercise this right without any hindrance," said Deenbandhu, 'regional secretary' of Bihar-Jharkhand-North Chhattisgarh Special Area Committee. However, he warned, "If the Security Forces thrust polls upon the people, we will retaliate just like we did on March 11 in Chhattisgarh killing 15 security men." Further, Maoist 'commander' Sylvestor said "Do not risk your lives accompanying Police to the polling booths, instead protest and walk out if you are forced to do so. We do not harm civilians." Deenbandhu said they are ready for talks with the government provided a favourable atmosphere was created. He added "We have burnt our fingers many times in the past. We lost our top central committee leader Cherikuri Rajkumar alias Azad and politburo member Koteshwar Rao alias Kishenji who went that extra mile to broker peace and were instead killed in cold blood." He also asked the governments to immediately release all prisoners of war (Maoists) lodged in various jails and then initiate the peace process.

The Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist) is operating through 128 frontal organisations in Haryana, Delhi (National Capital Region), Uttarakhand, Punjab, Uttar Pradesh, Haryana, Bihar, Orissa, Chhattisgarh, Jharkhand, Gujarat, Tamil Nadu, West Bengal, Andhra Pradesh, Karnataka, Maharashtra, and Kerala, says a recent Intelligence Bureau (IB) analysis, reports The Daily Mail on May 21. Though IB's internal report has established growing Maoist activities in Punjab, there is no information about the exact number of frontal organisations active in the state. While no arrests have been made recently, the Jalandhar Police in January 2009 arrested Jai Parkash Dubey from Phillaur, a senior Maoist, who was trying to revive the Naxalism-[Left-Wing Extremism (LWE)] in the State.

The Union Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA) is looking at an advanced mine detection system used by the western forces in Afghanistan, to tackle Improvised Explosive Device (IED) threats in Left-wing extremism-hit areas, The Times of India reports on August 21. IED attacks account for a major chunk of casualties suffered by the counter-Naxal forces. Stressing the need for employing the latest technology to defeat IED menace, the MHA has, in its latest action plan to fight Left-wing extremism, proposed mine detector AN/PSS 14, developed by US-based L3 Cyterra and used widely in Afghanistan, for the counter-Naxal grid. It has recommended that Institute of IED Management at Pune managed by Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF) be asked to study the system and make suggestions. The action plan also seeks better LWE solutions from low intensity conflict division of Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO). Among the other important ideas included in the proposed LWE action plan are state-level monitoring committees, comprising officers from the State Government, State Police, Union Home Ministry and Central para-military forces to review progress of anti-Maoist operations on a monthly basis. Also, the plan calls for focus on 35-40 worse-affected districts, where competent IAS/IPS officers may be posted. Officers who do well in the four years may be rewarded with preferential postings, foreign deputations and foreign courses. Taking a leaf out of Punjab's success in beating Sikh militancy, the action plan seeks experimenting with a single IG/DIG exercising command over both the state police and Central forces to ensure better coordination and response against the Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist). Besides, the plan suggests placing inter-state border junctions in select places like Jamui-Giridih and Sukma-Malkangiri under the jurisdiction of DIG/commandants of Central forces. It is to be seen how states view this suggestion, law and order being their exclusive domain. Projecting road connectivity as a game-changer, the Centre has suggested insurance subsidy for contractors, workers and machinery as well as incentivising timely completion of projects. A revised surrender policy and a cabinet sub-committee to expedite compensation to LWE victims, doubling of expenditure limit for civic action programes to INR 2 million and distribution of free TVs to residents of remote Naxal-hit villages are some of the other measures proposed to make the fight against LWE more effective. Importantly, the action plan endorses Kerala's demand for a Counter Insurgency and Anti-Terrorist Training facility, taking note of Maoists' plans to revive their south-west zonal committee at the Kerala-Tamil Nadu-Karnataka border.

The Union Cabinet on August 21 approved the proposal to install mobile towers in nine Naxal-affected states by state owned Bharat Sanchar Nigam Limited (BSNL) at the cost INR 32.16 billion that will be borne by the Union Government, reports NDTV. "The Cabinet has approved setting up of 1,836 new base transmission towers (BTS) in Left Wing Extremist affected districts. People in these areas and security forces have asked to improve the mobile connectivity in these districts," Telecom Minister Ravi Shankar Prasad said after a Cabinet meeting. He said 363 towers under the project have already been set up for which subsidy will be given from the Universal Services Obligation Fund. "The project implementation cost through the open tendering process is approximately Rs. 3,568 crore against the revised cost estimate of approximately Rs. 3,216 crore," Prasad said. The project to install mobile towers at 2,199 locations was to be completed by June but its progress was stuck due to difference in actual bids and project cost approved by then UPA government. The government has identified areas in Madhya Pradesh, Chhattisgarh, Andhra Pradesh, Bihar, Jharkhand, Maharashtra, West Bengal, Odisha, and Uttar Pradesh.

The September 10 encounter between Security Forces and Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist) in Barimunda forest along Ganjam-Kandhamal border and seizure of literature in Telugu hinted at presence of Bansadhara division of CPI-Maoist cadres in the region, reports The Times of India on September 12. Police suspect the division is trying to strengthen its base in the border areas after the arrest of Odisha Maovadi Party leader Sabyasachi Panda from Berhampur on July 17. The Andhra cadres were reportedly active in Rayagada and Ganjam Districts. "We are investigating which group of the outlawed outfit was involved in the exchange of fire," said a senior Police officer. Though Police had information about movement of Chhattisgarh cadres near Kandhamal-Boudh border about a month ago, ultras were spotted for the first time in a forest near Tarsingi in Ganjam District. Police and Maoists were engaged in an exchange of fire in Kantra forest of Boudh on June 28. Besides Maoist literature in Telugu and Odia, Police seized an SLR, two magazines and 30 rounds of ammunition from the camp in Ganjam forest. "There were about three to four ultras in the camp," said Superintendent of Police (SP) (Gajapati) Satyajit Nayak.

National Security Advisor (NSA) Ajit Doval, who was also present at the meeting, is said to be overseeing the exercise of collating the inputs from all intelligence agencies and incorporating them into a cohesive policy, tentatively named 'Strategic and Tactical Paradigm to Combat Maoist Insurgency'.

Close on the heels of the video propaganda by Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist) leader Roopesh through the media, warning of an armed struggle, the Maoist group functioning in the State is strengthening its presence through local recruitment, reports New India Express on October 2. Police doubt that the Maoist group has recruited around 50 persons recently and most of them are from various places in Malabar. Intelligence sources have got information that the Maoist organisation here has brought clothes to stitch around 50 more uniforms for the armed group. Police believe that the new uniforms are for the members of the newly-formed Maoist wings, known as ‘Dhalam’, based at Nilambur and Attappadi. Police suspect that Maoist leader Sinoj died during the training in bomb-making for the newly recruited members. “Maoists usually form a ‘Dhalam’ with 11-15 members. So we can reach the assumption that they have recruited fighters numbering 30 to form two more wings in the state, apart from the one, ‘Kabani Dhalam’, which is already functioning in Wayanad. The Intelligence officials have got information that the total recruitment will be around 50.

According to the latest data available with the Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA) violence in Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist)-affected States is continuing its downward trend of the last five years, reports The Hindustan Times on October 13. “This year, till September 30, we have got reports of 834 incidents and 241 deaths. Last year for the same period, 288 deaths were reported,” said a MHA official. Under the new anti-Maoist strategy, the government is focusing on development with an initiative to create developmental hubs in the worst affected areas. These hubs will have latest heath facilities and educational institutions. Besides, the government plans to raise around 20,000 more men in the paramilitary ranks for anti-Maoists operations exclusively. “By the end of this year, the overall incident and causality figure will be at 15 percent less than last year,” added the official.

The Union Ministry of Home Affairs (UMHA) is likely to discuss the deplorable performance of Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist)-affected States in ensuring the rights and entitlement of the local communities during a high-level meeting, reports The New Indian Express on November 13. The Government had enacted the Scheduled Tribes and Other Traditional Forest Dwellers (Recognition of Forest Rights) Act, 2006. Bihar, which last year (2013) reported 176 incidents, could only distribute 1.67 per cent of title deeds to forest dwellers. Till July 31, Bihar had received 2,930 claims, but only 28 title deeds were distributed. Chhattisgarh, which reported 353 incidents in 2013, had received 7,56,062 claims, but only 3,12,250 title deeds could be distributed. Although Chhattisgarh has performed much better with 43.73 per cent title distribution when compared to Bihar, the State rejected over four lakh claims. Sources said among the states, Odisha was the best performing State in terms of ensuring the rights and entitlement of local communities, distributing 70.71 percent title deeds. Even states such as Maharashtra could only distribute 1,43,283 title deeds out of 3,48.075 claims. Blaming the Maoist menace in certain worst affected areas for the delay in the development activities, sources said the road network of 2,297 km remained incomplete because it fell under the Maoist dominated areas. The Centre had approved INR 73 billion under Road Requirement Plan-I for Maoist-affected areas in 34 Districts. So far, the agencies have completed 3,180 km-long road network.

According to the Global Terrorism Index, 2014 report India was the sixth worst affected country by terrorism in 2013, reports The Times of India on November 18. The Global Index report said "The number of attacks also increased, with 55 more attacks in 2013 than 2012. However, the majority of terrorist attacks in India have low casualties. In 2013 around 70% of attacks were non-lethal. Communist terrorist groups are by far the most frequent perpetrators and the main cause of deaths in India. Three Maoist communist groups claimed responsibility for 192 deaths in 2013, which was nearly half of all deaths from terrorism in India. Police are overwhelmingly the biggest targets of Maoists, accounting for half of all deaths and injuries. This is mainly through armed assaults, which killed 85, and bombings and explosions, which killed 43".
