A decade after the Bijapur encounter in Chhattisgarh, an official report, tabled in the State assembly on March 14, has revealed that the eight tribal villagers killed in the operation at Edesmetta village under Jagargunda Police Station limits in Bijapur District the intervening night of 17 and 18 May 2013 were not “Maoists” [Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist)], reports news18.com. A judicial probe report, which was tabled by Chief Minister Bhupesh Baghel, said the security forces had opened fire on tribal people celebrating Pandum festival in panic. According to the report, the Security Forces passing through Edesmetta village in Bijapur district on the intervening night of May 17 and 18, 2013, had spotted a gathering and suspected that they were Maoists. Soon after the force members took position and opened fire on the crowd. The judicial probe had found that there was no aggression from the tribals as there was no evidence that they opened fire. The probe had categorically mentioned that the firing did not take place in self-defence. The enquiry commission had deduced that the firing took place in nervousness and was a direct result of mistaken identity from the side of security forces. A proper training, modern communication gadgets and state of art equipment could have averted the incident.

Naxal [Left Wing extremism, LWE] violence in the country has reduced by 77 per cent, from an all-time high of 2,258 in 2009 to 509 in 2021, Union Minister Nityanand Rai told the Lok Sabha (Lower House of the Indian Parliament) on March 15, reports The Pioneer. The Minister of State Home Affairs (MoSHA) said the Central Government has been supplementing the efforts of States as envisaged in the 'National Policy and Action Plan (NPAP) to address Left Wing Extremism', which was launched in 2015. He said the steadfast implementation of the NPAP policy has resulted in consistent decline in violence and constriction of its geographical spread of the Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist). "The incidents of LWE violence have reduced by 77 per cent from an all-time high of 2,258 in 2009 to 509 in 2021. Similarly, resultant deaths — civilians and security personnel — have reduced by 85 per cent from all-time high of 1,005 in 2010 to 147 in 2021," Union Minister Rai said.

The violence perpetrated by the Naxals [Left Wing Extremism, LWEs] has been reduced by 41 per cent and deaths by 54 per cent in the country in 2020 as compared to 2013 and the arc of such incidents has been considerably restricted with just 30 Districts accounting 88 per cent of all Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist) violence, reports The Times of India on April 26. According to the annual report of the Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA) for 2020-21, the Naxal violence was reported from 226 Police Stations in 53 Districts spread across nine States in 2020 as compared to 328 Police Stations in 76 Districts spread over 10 States in 2013. “The last six years have seen a significant decline in Left Wing Extremism (LWE) violence as well as the geographical spread of the LWE. The declining trend which started in 2011 continues in 2020 as well. “There has been an overall 41 per cent reduction in violent incidents (1,136 to 665) and 54 per cent reduction (397 to 183) in LWE related deaths in 2020 as compared to 2013,” the MHA annual report said. In comparison to 2019, the 2020 also saw the same level of violence with marginal decline (670 to 665) in incidents of violence and the resultant deaths by 9 per cent (202 to 183). The casualties to Security Forces (SFs) declined by 17 per cent (52 to 43). At the same time, the developmental outreach by the central Government has seen an increasingly large number of LWE cadres shunning the path of violence and returning to the mainstream. In 2020, Chhattisgarh with 315 incidents and 111 deaths remains the worst affected State, followed by Jharkhand (199 incidents and 39 deaths), Odisha (50 incidents and 9 deaths), Maharashtra (30 incidents and 8 deaths) and Bihar (26 incidents and 8 deaths). The overall improvement in the LWE scenario can be attributed to greater presence and increased capacity of the SFs across the LWE affected States, better operational strategy and better monitoring of development schemes in affected areas, the report said. The MHA said the geographical spread of LWE violence has also been shrinking considerably and the arc of violence has been considerably restricted with just 30 Districts accounting 88 per cent of the LWE violence. The CPI-Maoist continues to be the most potent among the various LWE outfits in the country and accounted for more than 86 per cent of total LWE violent incidents and 96 per cent of resultant deaths. Amidst increasing reverses, the CPI-Maoist has also been making efforts to expand to new areas along the inter-State borders without any significant success, the report added.

The Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist) have come out in support of the workers going on strike in Chhattisgarh, reports bhaiyajinews.com on August 20. The Maoists have supported the strike of the Employees-Officers Federation, which will start from August 22, by issuing a form. This press note has been issued by CPI-Maoists’ Dandakaranya Special Zonal Committee, ‘spokesperson’ Vikalp. In this press note issued by the Maoists, it has been said that “Our committee wholeheartedly supports the proposed indefinite strike from August 22 on behalf of the Chhattisgarh Employees – Officers Federation for its legitimate demands, and will not end the strike till the demands are accepted. calls for continuation of the movement. There is a call to all the employees, officers, teachers of the state to actively participate in the said indefinite strike. Along with this, an appeal has been made to all the trade unions, farmer organizations, public and democratic, human rights organizations of the state to help as much as possible in making the said strike a success. In the press note, the federation was called upon to thwart the government's attempts to break the strike, to mislead the strikers, to divide the leaders, to lure, to threaten the dismissal, and to keep the strikers strong. The zonal committee justifies your demands. According to the principle of equal pay for equal work, the demand for dearness allowance at par with central employees is justified. Since the central, state governments are fixing the salaries and allowances of government employees and officers on their terms and in the interest of domestic, foreign corporate houses and imperial financial institutions like IMF [International Monetary Fund] and World Bank, therefore imperialist financial institutions including domestic, foreign corporate houses Make the institutions, the Brahminical Hindutva fascist BJP [Bharatiya Janata Party] government at the Center the target of your agitation."

The Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist) is trying to retrieve its lost ground in Telangana, reports The New Indian Express on August 21. According to intelligence reports, there is a perceptible increase in the activity of the Maoists in the Bhadrachalam Agency area as well as in the Mulugu and Jayashankar Bhupalpally Districts in recent days. CPI-Maoist party ‘secretary’ Kankanala Raji Reddy has taken the responsibility of strengthening the party’s cadres. Bhadradri Kothagudem and Mulugu District Police have noticed the movements of Maoists and found some items including essential commodities and tents in the forest area in both the Districts yesterday (August 20) which were suspected to have been left behind by the ultras. The Intelligence Department has reportedly warned the Police of the heightened activity of the Maoists. They sent a report to them that about 10 Maoists were moving in Mulugu and Gundala of the Bhadradri Kothagudem forest area for the last few months. In fact, the input jolted the Police out of their reverie that due to their crackdown, the activity of the Maoists has come down in Telangana. According to sources, during the Maoist martyrs’ week celebrations which were held from July 28 to August 3, the Maoist leadership convened a meeting and reportedly focused on increasing the party’s footprint in Bhadradri Kothagudem, Mulugu, and Jayashankar Bhupalpally Districts as they are very close to Chhattisgarh where Maoists have a strong presence. The sources said that the Maoists cross Godavari River between Venkatapuram of Mulugu District and Cherla of Bhadradri Kothagudem Districts and enter Bhupalpally and Mulugu Districts from Chhattisgarh State.

The Naxalite [Left Wing extremist, LWE] footprint in Gadchiroli, one of the two Maharashtra Districts that have historically struggled with LWE, is shrinking, with a significant drop recorded in their activities over the past five years, Police said, reports The Free Press Journal on September 26. "In the past seven or eight years, many Naxals have been killed in different encounters and their numbers, presence and capabilities have reduced,” Gadchiroli, Superintendent of Police (SP), Ankit Goyal said, adding, “Secondly, they used to forcibly recruit some locals while others used to join of their own accord. Now we have observed that the number of people getting recruited from Gadchiroli is negligible." Goyal said that until about seven years ago, “in a dalam [the rebels are organised into groups called dalams], 15% used to be outsiders while the rest were locals. Now the percentage of people from Gadchiroli has fallen drastically.” The District Police chief attributed this to factors such as better administrative outreach, rising confidence in the administration, and improved infrastructure. “The Police Dadalora scheme, in which we implement government schemes and give jobs to locals, has helped,” he said, adding, “In two years we have given more than 6,000 people jobs or self-employment opportunities. In places deep in the jungle, this has more impact." According to the Gadchiroli Police’s data, 137 extremists were killed in encounters till Aug 31, 2022, while the number of Dalam (armed squad) members fell to 120 from 180. “Police killed 54 Naxalites in the past two years while several others were arrested,” an officer said. “Similarly, 196 Naxalites were arrested from 2017 till August 31 this year while 91 others surrendered in the same period." Goyal, the Police chief, said senior Naxalite cadres are now confined to the south Gadchiroli region. They are identified as Girdhar, Prabhakar and Rupesh.

The banned Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist) are again trying to get back their foothold in Telangana while Police have also become active in thwarting their efforts, reports Deccan Chronicle on September 29. About 15 years ago, cadres of CPI-Maoist had been quite active in Telangana, especially in agency and forest areas. They terrorised people, particularly contractors and public representatives, and collected “donations” from them. But following concerted strategies implemented by Police after formation of Telangana State, the banned extremist organisation lost its grip and shifted base to neighbouring Chhattisgarh State. However, several incidents in recent past indicate that they are trying to make their presence felt again. One of them is an encounter last August between Police and members of the Maoist group in the forest region of Damera Thogu and Chimalapadu in Gundala Mandal (administrative subdivision) on borders of Mulugu and Bhadradri Kothagudem Districts. There were no casualties or injuries on both sides. Recently, Venkatesh, ‘secretary’ of ‘Bhupalpally-Mahabubabad-Warangal-Peddapalli (BMWP) division committee’ of Maoists, released a letter demanding that Ramagundam Member of legislative Assembly (MLA) Korakanti Chander Patel return ₹45 crore allegedly collected by him and his henchmen from unemployed youth to get them jobs in Ramagundam Fertiliser Company Limited (RFCL). Venkatesh alias Kakanala Raji Reddy alias Dharmanna, went on to mention names of MLA's relatives, followers and company contractors who had allegedly benefitted. He warned each of them to reimburse the money collected to unemployed youth or face consequences. In the interim, intelligence department has cautioned officials of Godavari catchment area to be cautious as two Maoist groups – Adelgu and Mangula, have infiltrated into Telangana State. Deputy Superintendent of Police (DSP), Sadaiah of Mahabubabad District said after a long break, Maoist groups that had shifted from Telangana to neighbouring States are trying to enter the State again.

The Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF) has established three new forward bases in the remote Naxal [Left Wing Extremism, LWE] violence affected areas of Chhattisgarh and Jharkhand as part of its strategy to strike deep into the Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist) strongholds, reports Outlook India on November 22. While one each Forward Operating Base (FOB) has been established in Chhattisgarh's Sukma and Bijapur districts, the third has been created in the West Singhbhum district of Jharkhand. These FOBs will serve as a base for the security forces to launch coordinated operations in the surrounding areas and will also help in cutting off the Maoist supply lines, a CRPF spokesperson said. The bases in Chhattisgarh are located in Dubbakonta under Chintagupha Police Station jurisdiction in Sukma and Nambi that lies within the Usoor Police Station limits in Bijapur. "Both the locations used to be strongholds of Maoists. The establishment of these new camps in the most interior areas will give an edge to the security forces as these will serve as a launch pad for offensive operations against Maoists close to their hideouts," the spokesperson said.

The Union Home Ministry (UHM) has asked security agencies to chalk out a plan for an all-out offensive against Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist) in the “liberated zone” in Chhattisgarh’s Abujhmad forests, spread over 3,900 square kilometres in south Chhattisgarh, that is now completely inaccessible to the Security Forces (SFs), reports The Telegraph on December 12. Ministry sources said the security agencies had at a recent meeting been asked to take the help of the National Technical Research Organisation (NTRO) to procure real-time images of Maoist strongholds inside the “liberated zone”. The NTRO helps operate unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs). An unnamed Intelligence Bureau (IB) official said that UAVs would be used for reconnaissance, and will take real-time pictures of the liberated zone, to launch offensives against the Maoists and to keep an eye out for SFs conducting operations and area-domination exercises in rebel strongholds. According to an IB report, the rebels exercise complete control over the liberated zone and have built several camps where they provide arms training to recruits. “The Maoists have set up several training camps in Abujhmad. They hold regular meetings with their cadres in the presence of their top-rung leaders and plan attacks on security forces,” a UHM official said.

Intelligence agencies have alerted the Tamil Nadu Police on the attempts allegedly being made by Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist) to revive the Western Ghats Special Zonal Committee (WGSZC) that they have been trying to strengthen over the years, reports The Hindu on December 19. Considering its location in the tri-junction forests of Tamil Nadu, Karnataka and Kerala, the Maoists considered the base as strategic to regain strongholds in the area and take forward their agenda. However, the movement weakened following the arrest of Rupesh alias Jogi who headed the WGSZC and his supporters at Karumathampatti near Coimbatore in 2015. According to Police sources, field level officers across the State were alerted that the Maoists had launched a massive recruitment programme targeting youth, particularly students. Dozens of youths, including students of a law college in the southern districts, were already inducted and subjected to a systematic indoctrination of the “Marxism, Maoism and Ambedkar ideology,” a senior Police officer said on December 18. The sources said front organisations that were directly supporting the Maoist ideology and other like-minded groups were planning to organise mass protests against the 10% reservation for Economically Weaker Sections (EWS). While the alert gave specific input on the recruitment and training methodology, there was no mention of the involvement of leaders from other States, the sources said. In a report, the Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA) while explaining the Left Wing Extremism (LWE) scenario in the country laid emphasis on better inter-State coordination since the area of operation of CPI-Maoist was not confined to a single State but was spread over several States. The Government of India had taken many steps to improve the inter-State interactions between the bordering districts of Maoist affected States.

The incidents of Naxal [Left Wing Extremism (LWE) violence have reduced by 77 per cent from the high of 2,213 in 2010 to 509 in 2021, Union Minister of State for Home Nityanand Rai said in Lok Sabha [Lower House of the Indian Parliament) on December 20, reports The Print. Similarly, resultant deaths (civilians and security forces) have reduced by 85 per cent from the high of 1,005 in 2010 to 147 in 2021, Rai said, adding that the declining trend continues in 2022. “Steadfast implementation of the national policy has resulted in consistent decline in violence in Left Wing Extremism (LWE) affected areas. Incidents of LWE violence have reduced by 77 per cent from the high of 2,213 in 2010 to 509 in 2021,” he said replying to a written question. The minister said geographical spread of the violence has also significantly reduced and only 191 Police Stations of 46 Districts reported LWE related violence in 2021 as compared to high of 465 Police Stations of 96 Districts in 2010. He said decline in geographical spread is also reflected in the reduced number of districts covered under Security Related Expenditure (SRE) scheme and the number of SRE Districts reduced from 126 to 90 in April, 2018 and further to 70 in July, 2021. Similarly, Rai said the number of districts contributing approximately 90 per cent of the LWE violence, categorised as most LWE affected districts, came down to 30 from 35 in 2018 and further to 25 in 2021. On being asked about the details of the number of security personnel killed by the Maoists during the last three years; and the details of urban Naxal in custody for unlawful activities as of date, Rai replied that in 2019, 52 security personnel were killed, in the year 2020, 43 were killed, in 2021, 50 were killed and in the year 2022 till November 30, only 15 security personnel were killed in LWE areas. “The government of India’s National Policy and Action Plan addresses Left Wing Extremism in all its manifestations, including urban activities. Law and Order is a state subject, custody details of Left Wing Extremists involved in LWE activities including urban areas are not maintained centrally,” he added.
