The Government has no plans to give general amnesty to the militants in Jammu and Kashmir and Maoists who give up violence and arms struggle, the Lok Sabha (Lower House of Parliament) was informed on January 2, reports Daily Excelsior. “There is no proposal for general amnesty to the militants,” Union Minister of State for Home Affairs Kiren Rijiju said in a reply to a written question in Lok Sabha. The reply came in response to a question on whether the Government has any proposal for extending general amnesty, along with a lucrative rehabilitation package, to the Maoists and militants who give up violence and arms struggle.The Minister said the Central Government was following a multi-pronged strategy to deal with Left Wing Extremism (LWE) and the situation in Jammu and Kashmir and Northeastern States. The multi-pronged strategy comprises security-related measures and development-related initiatives. “In Jammu and Kashmir and NE States, the Central Government is also following a policy of talks with those groups who abjure the path of violence and seek resolution of their demands peacefully within the framework of the Constitution of India,” he said.

Under the Pradhan Mantri Gram Sadak Yojana (PMGSY) scheme, the Kanker District Police cleared a six kilometres road route traversing a 650-metre inclined, forested and rocky landscape and the road became operational on January 12, reports New Indian Express. The connecting road is set to link inaccessible settlements of the tribals who live in the inhospitable terrain barely 15 kilometres away from the Kanker District headquarters. “Ever since Independence our villages had remained deprived of a route to connect us with the main roads. Every election we raised our demands for road connectivity, but all we got were promises and no action,” said Lachhanu Mandavi, the Patel (elected chief) of Marrapi village. The road connects more than 2,000 tribal families in around half-a-dozen remote and undeveloped villages, including Marrapi, Useli, Kalmuchhi, Marme-Kanali and Nilegondi.

The Odisha Government has sought deployment of two additional battalions of Central Armed Police Forces (CAPF) in Left Wing Extremist (LWE)-affected Districts in the State, Minister of State (MoS) Home Affairs Hansraj Gangaram Ahir said on February 6, reports The Indian Express. The MoS for Home Affairs also said the “level of violence” in Kalahandi District does not warrant it to be included under the category of ‘Worst Affected Left Wing Extremist (LWE) Districts’. The Odisha Government has requested the Centre to include the District in this category. “The Government of Odisha has requested for two additional battalions of CAPF for deployment in LWE affected areas,” Ahir said in a written reply to the Lok Sabha (Lower house of Indian Parliament). Further, the MoS said deployment of CAPF in LWE-affected States is a dynamic process based on the situation, availability of forces and other ground realities. Currently, eight battalions each of Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF) and Border Security Force (BSF), as well as one battalion of CoBRA (Commando Battalion for Resolute Action), are deployed in Odisha to assist the State Police in anti-LWE operations, he added. To a query on whether the Odisha Government has requested enhancement of bandwidth of mobile towers under LWE scheme, Ahir said that in December 2017 the Department of Telecommunications (DoT) approved enhancing bandwidth from 512 kbps to 2 Mbps at all VSAT (Very Small Aperture Terminal) sites under the first phase. “This includes all 144 VSAT sites of Odisha,” he said.

Tasked with developing a 250 kilometres new ‘red corridor’ in the jungles of Chhattisgarh and Madhya Pradesh, the 60-strong ‘Vistaar Dalam (extension brigade)’ of Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist) is on the move and was spotted on the border of Kawardha (Kabirdham) District of Chhattisgarh and Mandla District of Madhya Pradesh, reports New Indian Express on February 17. The group of 10-20 armed Naxals [Left Wing Extremism (LWE)], which included women, was seen multiple times in the area near Motinalla village in Mandla, according to the reports. “All anti-Naxal forces, including police in Mandla and Balaghat Districts have been alerted following specific Intelligence inputs about recent movement by the Vistaar Dalam cadre near Motinalla,” said Inspector General of Police (IGP, Intelligence) Makarand Deuskar, in Bhopal. The movement of the ‘Vistaar Dalam’ assumes significance, as it comes close on the heels of the gunning down of two wanted Naxal extremists, Vinod and Sagar on February 9 in a joint operation by Madhya Pradesh-Chhattisgarh Police and the quick reaction teams of the Indo Tibetan Border Police (ITBP) on the Balaghat-Rajnandgaon border. The report of the movement of the ‘Vistaar brigade’ was also reported a month after Ramesh, a ‘deputy commander’ of one of two platoons of the brigade, was killed by the Police in the same area on January 15. The security establishment has been on its toes since then apprehending reprisal attacks by the Naxals.

The Government has removed 44 Districts from the list of 126 Naxal [Left Wing Extremism (LWE)]-hit Districts while adding eight Districts, including three in Kerala, as a pre-emptive measure, reports The Times of India on April 16. The number of worst-affected Districts has also gone down from 35 to 30, with three Districts in Jharkhand and two Districts in Bihar no longer in the list.The revised list of Districts affected by Maoist violence and activity was approved by the Union Ministry of Home Affairs (UMHA) as part of its redrawn Security-Related Expenditure (SRE) scheme norms effective from April 1, 2018. The re-categorisation of Naxal -hit Districts, which was done in consultation with the affected States, took into account several parameters including violence, extent of LWE activity as well as movement/presence of Maoists.The new list of LWE-hit areas now includes 90 Districts, of which only 58 had seen violence in the past year, spread across 11 states. In its earlier avatar, the SRE scheme extended to 126 districts, an outcome of redrawing of divisions across the 106 Districts originally listed, and 10 states.The eight newly-added Districts include Malappuram, Wayanad and Palakkad in Kerala, all of which border the Maoist-infested tri-junction running through Karnataka and Tamil Nadu. This is the first time that Kerala has been included in the list of Maoist-affected states. The other new LWE-hit Districts are Mandla in Madhya Pradesh, West Godavari in Andhra Pradesh, Kabirdham in Chhattisgarh and Angul and Boudh in Odisha.While the 44 Districts removed from the list of LWE affected Districts are spread across all 10 Naxal -hit states, five Districts in Bihar and Jharkhand have managed to shed the ‘worst-hit’ tag. These are Dumka, East Singhbhum and Ramgarh in Jharkhand and Nawada and Muzaffarpur in Bihar. Also, Bhadradri Kothagudem in Telangana, which was earlier part of Khammam, is now classified as a Naxal -hit District.

Chhattisgarh Chief Minister (CM), Raman Singh, who has been battling Left-Wing Extremists (LWEs) in the State for the last 15 years, says he is ready to talk to Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist) -- but only if their top leadership comes to the table, reports Business Standard on April 18. CM, Raman Singh, says the fight against Maoists is the “toughest fight in the world” and asserts that left-wing extremists can still claim dominance in only “15-20 per cent areas” in just two Districts — Bijapur and Sukma. “The battle against Maoists is the toughest fight in the world. This is a fight where our own people (Maoists) roam around wearing lungis and suddenly start firing. What will a jawan do under such circumstances? They (Maoists) keep themselves surrounded by women and children and innocent villagers. We can’t do anything. We can’t kill everybody,” CM, Raman Singh, told Indo-Asian News Service (IANS) in an interview.

Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist) documents recovered by Police reveal that the Maoists have admitted to their failure in targeting the Security Forces (SFs) and mobilising militia, reports The Hitavada on July 4. The documents, which are apparently proceedings of a few meetings held at sub-zonal or zonal level committees of the CPI-Maoist, stated “We have failed in hitting the target of Tactical Counter-Offensive Campaign (TCOC) in four commands. Two companies took some effort. But, due to small technical mistakes and error of judgement at the level of ‘commanders’, we have lost good opportunities.” The Maoists have also attributed failure in carrying out their annual TCOC to a variety of reasons other than technical mistakes and error of judgment at the level of ‘commanders’. These include failure in mobilising ‘militia’ (fighting force in forest areas), problems with gathering of Intelligence on Police movement, insubordination within party units etc. In one of the documents, instances of junior-level Maoist cadres refusing to obey the orders of seniors have been mentioned. From the documents, it is evident that the senior-level Maoists are worried about juniors refusing to do sentry duties. In some cases, when the senior Maoists scolded the juniors, they preferred not to communicate with each other, resulting in lack of co-ordination within units while moving through the jungles and avoiding face-off with the Security Forces (SFs). One of the CPI-Maoist documents mentions that “All the single-target actions this year under TCOC have failed completely,” with increased visibility and mobility of Police forces especially in Gadchiroli District and expressed worries about own operations.

Many of them have surrendered in recent months,” UHM Singhsaid while campaigning in Chhattisgarh.According to the Home Ministry’s countrywide figures, 131 Maoists were killed, 1,278 arrested in Police operations, while 58 surrendered so far in 2018. In Chhattisgarh, Maoist violence dipped overall in 2018, but it recorded a spike since the election was announced.“From 90 districts earlier, now there are only 10 or 12 districts that are under the threat of Maoists across the country,” UHM Singh said, adding that the outfit would be rendered ineffective in the “next two to three years.”

The Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist) is observing the ‘People’s Liberation Guerilla Army (PLGA) Week’ from December 2 only to lure tribal youth into its fold, Superintendent of Police (SP), Visakhapatnam Rural, Attada Babujee said, reports The Hindu on November 30.Tribal people would not benefit from such programmes, Babujee said in a release on November 29.“As per reliable sources, the Maoists are planning to create disturbances in the Agency area during the PLGA Week in an attempt to show their presence,” the SP said. In the recent past, several Maoists, including a top woman leader Meena, had been killed. And the AOB (Andhra Odisha Border) region had witnessed many arrests and surrenders, he said. “The Maoists are now focusing on hitting back and regaining strength,” the SP observed. The Maoists were spoiling the future of the youngsters in the Agency by luring them into unlawful activities, Babujee alleged. “During the observance of the PLGA Week, or bandhs, tribal people will have no access to the mandal headquarters. Patients will be the worst-hit in such circumstances. This apart, innocent tribal people are targeted and eliminated after branding them as informers,” Babujee alleged.

Jharkhand Director General of Police (DGP), DK Pandey expressed confidence that Left Wing Extremism (LWE) in Jharkhand is on its last legs and it would be wiped out soon, reports The Pioneer on December 17. He also claimed that the menace has been controlled 80 per cent and mentioned that the time is suitable for ending it. "Eighty percent of extremism here has been contained, curbed and finished. Extremism in Jharkhand is to be essentially understood and thought of in right context and not in any way outlandish one. Here its dimension is different,” said the DGP. He also cited an incident of arson which took place in Chatra District where four vehicles of NTPC were put on fire by the Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist) cadres last week. DGP said this arson was carried out by a group of Bihar led by Karu Yadav. Top Maoists’ leaders have pushed him in here to create disturbance. "Jharkhand police will abort their nefarious and evil designs. Our police have also re-drawn its strategy to checkmate and fail and foil the plan of the Maoists. They will be contained and their sinister designs will be smashed” added the DGP. He also said Maoists are making all out efforts to sneak in Jharkhand from Bihar and Odisha side of borders. "Some have come here too but our men are after them. Days are not far off when they will be neutralised them completely. We need to further tune in our intelligence. It has to be smart and pin pointed. It will render the lives of the Maoists further miserable as our police are reaching out in those areas which some time back were a forbidden one. Our foot steps are everywhere. Those outlaws too hear our sounds of boots,” said the DGP. “We seek people’s cooperation. We know Maoists base has eroded completely. They are not getting any big support from the people which they used to command in the past. I ask people to help police fighting these criminals with clinical precision,” he added.
