Pakistan Prime Minister Imran Khan on November 1 announced that Sikh pilgrims from India would not need a passport to travel to Kartarpur and no fee would be charged from them on the opening day of the corridor on November 9, reports Tribune India. “For Sikhs coming for pilgrimage to Kartarpur from India, I have waived off two requirements: i) they won’t need a passport-just a valid ID; ii) they no longer have to register 10 days in advance. Also, no fee to be charged on day of inauguration and on Guruji’s 550th birthday,” Khan tweeted. The Kartarpur Corridor will connect the Dera Baba Nanak shrine in Gurdaspur District of Punjab in India with Darbar Sahib at Kartarpur, located at Narowal District of Punjab province in Pakistan. On October 24, India and Pakistan signed an agreement on the Corridor that will allow Indian pilgrims to undertake visa-free visit to the Gurdwara, the shrine of the Sikh religion’s founder Guru Nanak Dev in Pakistan.

The US State Department’s ‘Country Reports on Terrorism 2018’, published on November 1 said the Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT) and the Jaish-e-Mohammad (JeM) continued to be a threat to India, reports New Indian Express. The report added that the Pakistani authorities have failed to uniformly implement the Financial Action Task Force (FATF) Action Plan on money laundering and counter-terrorism financing regimes and the UN sanctions related to designated entities and individuals. As such, terror group LeT and its affiliates continued to make use of economic resources and raise funds, it noted. “Pakistan criminalises terrorist financing through the Anti-Terrorism Act, but implementation remains uneven. In June 2018, the FATF placed Pakistan on its ‘grey list’ for deficiencies across its anti-money laundering and financial transaction regimes, specifically citing concerns over Pakistan’s failure to fully implement the UN Security Council ISIL and al-Qa’ida sanctions,” the report said.

A cadre of the Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist) carrying a cash reward of INR 300,000 on his head, surrendered in Dantewada District of Chhattisgarh on November 2, reports The Times of India. The Superintendent of Police (SP), Abhishek Pallava, said, the surrendered cadre, identified as Baman Mandavi (26) turned himself in before the Police, citing disappointment with the Maoist ideology and exploitation of lower-ranking cadres by senior Naxalite [Left Wing Extremist, LWE] leaders.

A high alert has been issued to security forces across the country by central intelligence agencies, warning of possible ‘lone wolf’ attacks by Islamic State (IS) operatives targeting high-risk dignitaries in the run-up to the Republic Day celebrations in January, 2020, The Hindu reports on November 3. Earlier, a communication issued by the Union Ministry of Home Affairs (UMHA) to all the States on November 1, stated that the overall security scenario in the country remained a cause for concern on account of the threat emanating from Pakistan and the Afghanistan-Pakistan belt. Pakistan’s Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI) continued to provide infrastructural and other financial/logistical assistance to terror groups, particularly the Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT) and the Jaish-e-Mohammad (JeM), operating in that country, the note said. “The reported nexus between home-grown terror outfits and Pakistan-based extremist organisations in terms of procurement of weapons, technology and training has added a new dimension to the threat scenario,” it added.

Armed Naga cadres are likely to be absorbed into a newly formed security force under the terms of Naga peace agreement, reports The Sangai Express on November 4. The peace agreement is likely to be finalised within a fortnight. Weapons held by all Naga rebels are to be preserved and displayed in a newly established Naga Revolutionary Museum. Additionally, Autonomous Councils will be formed in Naga-dominated areas in Manipur, Arunachal Pradesh and Assam. A bicameral Naga body to decide on local cultural issues will be formed under the peace deal that seems to have brought both New Delhi and the rebel organisations, which missed an October 31 deadline for signing the accord, on board. Additionally, Y Wangting Naga of National Socialist Council of Nagaland-Reformation (NSCN-R) stated that “The final agreement is expected to be signed in the next fortnight provided the drafting of the agreement is completed”. He also added that “Nagas will continue to pursue the demand for a separate flag and constitution through political and democratic means”. He also added that “We must realize the contemporary political situations and reality”, when asked about why the Naga groups had agreed to drop their earlier inflexible stand on the integration of Naga-inhabited areas, a separate flag and constitution. A Senior Security official stated that “There was a lot of pressure that brought to bear on NSCN-Isak-Muivah (NSCN-IM), reports The Sangai Express. The official also added that Tatmadaw of Myanmar was also vigilant along the border to prevent armed cadres moving base to contiguous areas along the Indo-Myanmar border. The NNPGs and social groups like the Naga Mothers Association (NMA) also mounted pressure on the NSCN(IM) to soften its stand.

Chhattisgarh Governor Anusuiya Uikey said she would like to see the surrendered cadres of Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist) integrated with the mainstream, following which surrendered Maoist cadres of the State wanted an interaction with the Governor, reports The New Indian Express on November 4. As per the report, this is the first time that the State has a tribal Governor with politically rich experience. “She is interested in areas of governance and welfare related to the Fifth Scheduled Area. She even visited disturbed areas of Dantewada, Narayanpur and Bastar,” said Sonmoni Borah, Principal Secretary to the Governor. The Governor’s initiatives at ‘people-connect’ and ‘people-centric’ exercises, are being now popularly cited, helping change the perception and break the stereotype of the Raj Bhawan being just a ‘symbol of power’ and at best of times, and ‘unapproachable’. “The Governor met 126 Maoists who had surrendered during the last seven years in Dantewada. She was forthright in discussing with them issues related to the CPI-Maoist and their immediate concerns. She discussed the surrender and rehabilitation policy that can be implemented much more effectively to encourage other armed rebels to lay down their arms,” Abhishek Pallava, the superintendent of Police (SP) of Dantewada District said. Her interaction with surrendered rebels resulted in many them joining the Dantewada Police Force as Danteshwari Fighters (women commandos) to take on Left Wing Extremism (LWE). Uikey also promised the surrendered Maoists that she will take up their cause with the Union Ministry of Home Affairs (UMHA) and secure the necessary support for them.

Indian intelligence agencies have spotted terrorist training activities in Narowal, the border District, and Sheikhupura District in Punjab province of Pakistan, reports The Times of India on November 4. As per the report, the intelligence alert has been received less than a week from the opening of the Kartarpur corridor for Indian pilgrims. The said corridor connects Dera Baba Nanak Sahib in Gurdaspur District of Punjab in India with the Kartarpur Sahib Gurdwara located in Narowal District of Punjab province in Pakistan. Sources in the intelligence agencies said terrorist training camps are situated at Muridke (Sheikhupura), Shakargarh (Narowal), and Narowal Districts of Punjab province in Pakistan where “substantial number of men and women are reportedly camping and undergoing training”. The said details emerged at a recently held joint meeting of all top security agencies of the country to discuss issues related to border management in Punjab. The biggest challenge, the agencies said, is the opening of the Kartarpur corridor as anti-India activities are likely to be carried out by hostile elements in Pakistan, especially “those likely to come into contact with pilgrims at the shrine”.

A statement released by Pakistan Foreign Office (FO), said that “Pakistan completely rejects baseless reports in a section of the Indian media, attributed to ‘intelligence sources’.” It said Pakistan’s Kartarpur spirit is aimed at facilitating Nanak Naamlevas (followers), especially Sikhs, to visit one of their most revered places of worship and promoting inter-faith harmony. “The content of the media reports in question is part of a malicious propaganda campaign in India that cannot be condemned enough; we have no doubt that such mischievous attempts would be rejected with the contempt that they deserve”, the FO further said.

The Security Forces (SFs) busted a militant hideout and recovered huge quantity of incriminating material at Brath in Sopore in Baramulla District in Jammu and Kashmir on November 4, reports Daily Excelsior. NDTV adds that the hideout was an underground bunker used as a training centre for terrorists. According to sources, the arrest of Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT) operative Tariq Channa led SFs to the hideout located at an orchard in Brath. An underground shelter measuring 17 feet in length and six feet in width, it was tailor-made to train terrorists in handling explosives. "It's a concrete bunker. We recovered ammunition, among other items, upon raiding the place," an unnamed senior police officer said. According to the officer, the LeT operatives would use the shelter to hide from SFs as well. "There is a lot of pressure on terrorists and nobody is supporting them in villages anymore," he claimed, citing how people no longer turn up in large numbers at their funerals. Tariq Channa had been hiding in the underground shelter with two others for many weeks until his arrest on November 2. A probe revealed that the orchard belonged to the maternal uncle of another LeT terrorist, Sajad Haider. Police described Sajad Haider as a high-level terrorist responsible for holding recruitment drives in South Kashmir. "This is where he used to train new recruits before sending them off to join the ranks of terrorists," an unnamed officer said. "There was a lot of support for terrorists in 2017, when they would even make hartal calls from mosques. Public support was visible on the streets in 2018 too, but it was diminished. The support's there even now, but it's more tacit than overt," another unnamed police officer said.

The Union Ministry of Home Affairs (UMHA) on November 4 handed over three militancy-related incidents reported from Kishtwar (Kishtwar District) in Jammu and Kashmir to the National Investigating Agency (NIA), reports Daily Excelsior. After receiving the UMHA order, the NIA registered three First Information Reports (FIRs) in the three cases transferred to it by the UMHA from Kishtwar police. The cases handed over to the NIA by the UMHA included killing of the top Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) functionary Chanderkant Sharma and his Personal Security officer (PSO) Rajinder Singh on April 9, 2019, inside the District Hospital Kishtwar; snatching of AK-47 rifle from the Deputy Commissioner Kishtwar’s PSO, Daleep Kumar, at his residence in Kishtwar town on March 8, 2019; and another weapon snatching incident involving PSO of People’s Democratic Party (PDP) district president Sheikh Nissar on September 13, 2019, near the town after three militants barged into the house and held the family members hostage. Prior to these three terror incidents in 2019, the militants had on November 1, 2018, gunned down BJP leader Anil Parihar and his brother Ajit Parihar near their house in Kishtwar. The case of Parihar brothers was handed over to the NIA by the UMHA within days of the killings. “With today’s order of handing over investigations of three terror attacks to the NIA, all four major terror incidents which took place in Kishtwar during last one year, beginning with the killings of Parihar brother, have gone to the NIA,” sources said, adding that since one group of the Hizb-ul Mujahideen (HM) militants was involved in all four cases, the Centre was of the view that investigations should be carried out by the single agency for speedy probe. According to sources, seven to eight militants were still believed to be active in Kishtwar district, some of whom belonged to South Kashmir while others were locals. Three militants were killed by the SFs at Batote in Ramban District in October when they were heading from Kishtwar District to South Kashmir. They were involved in the terror incidents of Kishtwar. Sources said out of one and a half dozen militants arrested in Kishtwar during last couple of months, majority of them were involved either directly in the terror attacks or had helped the militants in carrying out the attacks. The arrests have proved useful in containing the militancy in Kishtwar, which had been revived by the militants of the HM, Lashkar-e-Toiba (LeT) and Jaish-e-Mohammed (JeM) after more than a decade of peace with the killings of Parihar brothers. Recently, Kishtwar and Doda District police had announced handsome reward on five top militants operating in the districts.

There is an increase of more than 37,000 new voters this Assembly Election in comparison to the number of total voters enumerated for the Lok Sabha (Lower House of Indian Parliament) election held in April-May this year in Palamu District of Jharkhand, reports Daily Pioneer on November 5. A press note issued from the District, Public Relation Office (PRO), read there were 14, 21, 729 voters for the Lok Sabha election which is now 14, 59, 278 voters. District Returning Officer cum Deputy Commissioner, Palamu, Shantanu Kumar Agrahari, said the increase in number of voters is a happy sign, but it will be far happier moment when eligible voters do come out of their houses and cast votes, which is due here on November 30. Sources said the increase in voters has so far not seen any greater number of booths which was 1,795 in Lok Sabha election and this figure is same this Assembly Election. The Superintendent of Police (SP), Ajay Linda, said areas falling in Chetma, Dagra, Kooh Kooh Pathra, Naudeeha Kala Pahar etc. are all under strict eyes of the nearest Police Stations and security camps there. “I rode on a bike in areas falling on the border of Bihar and saw the locations of the booths, clusters, routes and retreats,” the SP said adding that he inspected geo positions at Salaiyya where he went on bike a far off pace just meters away from Bihar and spoke to people there to bolster their confidence in voting. Sources said the adjoining States like Bihar, Chhattisgarh, Uttar Pradesh, West Bengal and Odisha, where incidentally there is no election and hence problem of sneaking in of rebels from Bihar, Chhattisgarh and Odisha is too high. Commenting on this, Linda said, “We will do all on the borders that we have with Chhattisgarh Bihar and UP to foil any entry of rebels and criminals as well.” The SP conceded that a vast area in Palamu is highly prone to ambush and booby traps but hastened to assure that Security Forces (SFs) will abort any design of rebels.

According to Russel Travers, US’s Acting Director of the National Counter-terrorism Center, Office of Director of National Intelligence, the Khorasan group of the Islamic State (IS-K), that operates in South Asia, attempted a suicide attack in India in 2018, swarajyamag.com reports on November 7. "Of all of the branches and networks of IS, IS-K is certainly one of those of most concern, probably in the neighbourhood of 4,000 individuals or so," said Russel. "They have attempted to certainly inspire attacks outside of Afghanistan. They attempted last year to conduct a suicide attack in India. It failed," Travers said when asked by Indian-origin Senator Maggie Hassan about the ability of IS-K to carry out terrorist attacks in the region. Reportedly during her visit to Afghanistan and Pakistan, Hassan said she heard firsthand the concerns of the US military about the growing and very real threat of IS-K, the ISIS affiliate in Afghanistan.

Indian Minister of State for Home Affairs G Kishan Reddy on November 7, called for a global concerted effort to fight against the global menace, reports aninews.in. "It was a distinct pleasure to speak at the 'No Money for Terror' Ministerial Conference on Terrorism - Financing at Melbourne (Australia). Needless it is to say that India has suffered from cross border terrorism and therefore, I emphasised on the need for a global concerted effort," Reddy said in a tweet. The minister stressed India's concern over the "tacit support" that some nations are extending to terror groups breeding on their soil, in an apparent reference to Pakistan. He, at the session, also stated that India, being a victim of cross-border terrorism, advocates zero-tolerance towards terror. The minister further proposed four points for inclusion in the resolution to tackle the global menace saying all nations must expedite the finalisation of a Comprehensive Convention on International Terrorism under the United Nations (UN). "Proposed 4 crucial points for inclusion in the resolution to be adopted here, which includes branding terrorism as the biggest threat to peace, security and development," the minister said in another tweet. All countries which participated in the meeting should also effectively enforce the standards mandated by the Financial Action Terror Force (FATF) and UN listings, the minister said.

Cease fire agreement (CFA) violations by Pakistan along the Line of Control (LoC) in Jammu and Kashmir (J&K) were the highest in October 2019 among the first ten months of the calendar year 2019, Army officials said on November 11, reports Outlook. In the period between October 30 and 31, however, the number of ceasefire violations was 39, one of the highest recorded for any single day this calendar year. As per data compiled by the Army, there were 351 Pakistan-initiated CFA violations along the LoC in various sectors of Jammu and Kashmir in October 2019. The only other month in which CFA violations had crossed the 300-figure mark was August, the month in which Parliament withdrew special status to Jammu and Kashmir by reading down Article 370 of the Constitution. The number of incidents had been recorded at 307 in August 2019. Officials also added that in the first 11 days of November, as many as 97 Pakistan-initiated CFA violations have already been reported. "Ceasefire violations have gone up several folds after August 5 when Article 370 was abrogated. This is indicative of the fact that Pakistan has been trying to push in infiltrators through the LoC under covering fire. Several infiltration attempts have been thwarted though retaliatory firing by Indian troops," an unnamed Army official said. "The biggest challenge for Army troops in containing infiltration attempts would be around four months later than this date when snow hardens and attains the heights of the fences along LoC. This makes crossing over across the LoC easier for infiltrators," added the official. Till date, the total number of CFA violations has crossed the 2,500 mark this calendar year as compared to 1,629 incidents in the entire 12 months in the year 2018. This year, number of ceasefire violations had been the lowest in the months of June and January during which 181 and 203 incidents, respectively, were recorded.

ZUF in a statement said that Zeliangrong people have been struggling for a single administrative and political system for a common homeland. It also stated that “In the absence of state players, it was for us to protect our people from such terror activities. Peace talks and the protection from government of India was a license for NSCN (IM) to commit all atrocities and unleash reign of terror on Zeliangrongs. The intolerable situation had compelled the formation of a Youth Force to protect our people from enemies to further divide the Zeliangrong people.”

Firstpost on November 11 reported that encounters between government forces and militants in Jammu and Kashmir have declined in number post August 5, 2019, as the forces remain occupied in preventing public protests against the scrapping of Kashmir's special status. Police officials cited the involvement of the forces in "law and order" duties to prevent public protests as a reason for the decline in anti-militancy operations. They however also added that the lack of communication with informants — due to the snapping of mobile services — has also affected the flow of information about the presence of militants. Police officials said that while the gun battles have declined militants have become active in Srinagar city (Srinagar District) as well where their presence was far sparser earlier. The movement of militants in the city has also increased following Article 370 revocation, they added.

India’s External Affairs Minister Subrahmanyam Jaishankar met French President Emmanuel Macron in Paris and held a "good discussion" with him on important strategic issues on November 12, reports ndtv.com. The two met at the Paris Peace Forum. Jaishankar, during his address at the Paris Peace Forum, called for coordinated action by nations, bilaterally or multilaterally, to prevent the forces of terrorism and extremism from building presence in the digital domain. On issues related to the governance of cyberspace, Jaishankar said to address the specific security threats, including cyber-attacks on critical infrastructures, countries should consider entering into arrangements for speedy action and mitigation. He said India's support to the Christchurch call to eliminate terrorist and violent extremist content online manifests the country's commitment to work with "like-minded countries to ensure that the entire digital space serves to advance our societies and economies, without endangering our safety and security". The Christchurch Call- named after the New Zealand city in which 51 people from the Muslim community were killed in terrorist attacks broadcast live on the Internet on March 15, 2019 - is an action plan that commits governments, international organizations and internet players to take a series of measures, in particular developing tools to prevent the downloading of terrorist and violent extremist content.

On November 12, The Zeliangrong United Front (ZUF) today stated that it had joined the Naga National Political Groups (NNPGs) to be a part of the peace process in order to secure a better future for the Zeliangrong people living in Assam, Manipur and Nagaland, reports Assam Tribune. The ZUF, in a release issued by its information and publicity wing, said that as the Centre had taken a decision not to admit any more tribal outfits in the process, the ZUF decided to ally with the Nationalist Socialist Council of Nagaland-Unification (NSCN-U) for a political solution to the Naga issue on the one hand and the better future of the Zeliangrong people on the other. The statement issued by ZUF further states that after a careful analysis of the pros and cons, the ZUF joined the NNPGs in the peace talks as an integral part of the NSCN-U or the GPRN (Government of People’s Republic of Nagalim)/NSCN with the assurance that the political aspirations of the Zeliangrong people would be kept alive and pursued through democratic political processes in the post-solution scenario. Stating that the Zeliangrong people have been struggling for a single administrative and political system for a common homeland, the ZUF said the Zeliangrong areas were being encroached on, and colonised by ‘non-indigenous’ Zeliangrong tribes on the pretext of a ‘political conflict’ with India.

From helping in cordon-and-search ops, negotiating obstacles to lobbing grenades at terrorists holed up in buildings, the Indian Army will soon have robots to help it in counter-insurgency operations in Jammu and Kashmir, reports Livemint on November 14. The Ministry of Defence (MoD) has started the process of procuring around 550 robotics surveillance units with minimum 25 years of service life for counter-insurgency ops in Jammu and Kashmir, sources said on November 13. An unnamed senior Indian Army officer told IANS that these robots should be capable of climbing stairs and negotiating obstacles apart from throwing grenades at terrorists in built-up areas. "These robots should be capable enough for water fording with minimum 20-cm depth," the officer said. During cordon-and-search-operations in the Valley, these robots will be the first line of defence, thus helping prevent casualties. "This would avoid casualty to our own troops during initial breach by terrorists," the officer said. The MoD on November 19 had called the Indian industries to make representations of their products about robotics surveillance. The ministry is pushing for indigenization to reduce dependence on imports of defence items.

Addressing the BRICS Plenary Session at the iconic Itamaraty Palace in the presence of the Presidents of Brazil, China, Russia and South Africa, Prime Minister Modi said terrorism has emerged as the biggest threat to the development, peace and prosperity. “According to some estimates, the economic growth of developing nations has decreased by 1.5 per cent due to terrorism,” he said, adding that the scourge has caused USD 1 trillion loss to the world economy. In 10 years, terrorism has claimed the lives of about 2.25 lakh people and destroyed societies, Modi added. “The atmosphere of doubt created by terrorism, terror financing, drug trafficking and organized crime indirectly and deeply harms trade and business.

The National Investigation Agency (NIA), on November 15, filed its chargesheet against 11 persons, including a British national, in the murder case of Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) leader Brigadier (Retd.) Jagdish Gagneja, reports The Indian Express. The NIA also moved an application in the special NIA court in Sahibzada Ajit Singh Nagar city in Mohali District of Punjab for discharging four accused in the case.

Eight acts of targeted killings and attempted killings were executed as part of this conspiracy between January 2016 and October 2017 in Punjab. All the persons targeted belonged to specific communities and organizations and the objective of the conspiracy was to destabilize the law and order situation in Punjab and to revive the terrorism in the State. The NIA chargesheet has been filed against 11 persons including, Hardeep Singh Shera, who is the main accused, Dharminder Singh alias Gugni, Pahar Singh, Malook Singh and Ramandeep Singh alias Canadian, UK resident Jagtar Singh alias Jaggi Johal, Gursharanbir Singh Wahiwal, and Harmeet Singh alias PhD who is supposed to be operating from Pakistan.

SI Harish was in the news a few months ago for allegedly beating up a Dalit youth at the Perambra bus stand for waylaying a bus, which had hit and killed the youth’s relative.

Members of Bodoland Janajati Suraksha Mancha (BJSM), met the High Power committee for implementation of clause 6 of Assam accord under Chairmanship of Justice B.K. Sarma (retd) and expressed their views that the clause 6 is not implementable, reports The Sentinel. BJSM delegation, led by its president Janaklal Basumatary, submitted, “First of all the Assam Accord itself is not constitutionally valid as it is not ratified by parliament. For detection of foreigners the NRC update from 1971 is also unconstitutional. By agreeing to the Accord no foreigner can be granted citizenship. NRC [National Register for Citizens] update from 1971 means the foreigners from 1951 to 1971 are granted citizenship by registration which was closed as soon as the constitution was adopted in 1950 under Art.5 of the Constitution. Therefore, the Citizenship Amendment Act., allowing the foreigners citizenship on the basis of Assam Accord is unconstitutional, because it allowed citizenship to foreigners by registration from 1951 to 1971 arising out of NRC update from 1971 instead of 1951”.

Pakistan itself does not deny this situation,” he said. “Now, tell me: which country would be willing to talk and negotiate with a neighbour who openly practices terrorism against it… We need actions that demonstrate a real willingness to cooperate… For example, there are Indians wanted for terrorist activities living in Pakistan. We are telling Pakistan: hand them over to us,” he said, in a clear reference to criminals like underworld don Dawood Ibrahim, who is believed to be hiding in Pakistan.

With various terror groups “unable” to execute a major terror strike in the aftermath of scrapping of Article 370 from Jammu and Kashmir (J&K) and the Supreme Court’s verdict on Ayodhya, there is a “high probability” of a “lone wolf attack” in any of the metros across India, according to the latest assessment made by Intelligence agencies after reviewing the security scenario post the two major developments, asianage.com reports on November 17. Based on the assessment, a note is being prepared and sent to all states shortly to take adequate measures. The agencies feel that while a host of measures has been taken to ensure that terror groups do not succeed in planning and executing a major strike, they say that the threat of a lone wolf attack in such a scenario is looming large. Sources in the security establishment told that though retaliation in the form of a major terror strike was expected soon after Article 370 was abrogated from J&K, the strict restrictions which included a ban on the Internet ensured that the communication between terrorists and their handlers across the border was snapped. The increased security measures taken by agencies have made it “difficult” for planning and executing terror strikes, they said.

The Centre (Union Government) has issued ‘shoot at sight’ orders for Security Forces (SFs), especially the Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF), deployed in Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist)-hit areas, after a ‘serious and new threat’ of drones by the Naxalites [Left Wing Extremists, LWEs] came to light, reports India.com on November 18. The development comes after drone-like objects were spotted flying over CRPF camps in Kistaram and Palodi areas in Sukma District of Chhattisgarh south Bastar region about a month ago. The directive was issued by a unified command of security and intelligence agencies at the Centre. According to reports, ‘small red and white light’ emitting drones were seen flying near the Kistaram and Palodi camps at least four times in three days last month. The drones, according to reports, drew the attention of the security personnel who took offensive position and an alert was sounded across all nearby CRPF camps, fearing Naxal trouble. “At least on three occasions, personnel have reported an unidentified object flying over the camps in the past one month. Because of its whirring sound and lights, it is suspected to be a Netra drone commonly used in weddings,” an unnamed CRPF officer said.

Replying to a question in Rajya Sabha (Lower House of Indian Parliament) on November 20, Union Minister of State for Home G Kishan Reddy Reddy said 586 incidents of terrorism had been reported in Kashmir from January 1 to November 10, in which 36 civilians were killed and 183 injured, reports Indian Express. While the corresponding data for last year is similar — 614 incidents of terror, in which 39 civilians were killed and 183 injured — the figure, however, has almost doubled since 2016 and 2017, when less than 350 terror incidents were recorded. According to Reddy’s reply, the victims this year included 13 civilians from Uttarakhand, Bihar, Chhattisgarh, Punjab, Rajasthan, West Bengal, Uttar Pradesh and Haryana. “The government has adopted a policy of zero tolerance towards terrorism. The security forces are taking effective and continuous action in countering terrorism, as a result of which a large number of terrorists have been neutralised in the state of Jammu and Kashmir during the past few years,” Reddy said in his reply.

Indian Express reports on November 22 that a senior official of Mizoram Home Department stated that “The roadmap for repatriation submitted to the Supreme Court was very clear that Bru migrants would be resettled back in their own villages or villages under nearest police stations. I don’t feel there is any question of changing this roadmap, which was agreed upon by the Supreme Court of India and the Government of India. There is no question of settling them in Dampa Tiger Reserve.” Earlier, Mizoram Bru Displaced Peoples Forum (MBDPF) general secretary Bruno Msha had stated that they have scaled down their demands like a Bru Autonomous District Council (ADC), cluster villages, rearrangement of resettlement locations, etc. to just two points.

Bruno Mshe, general secretary of the MBDPF stated that “The Bru people sheltered in the relief camps are not happy with the special package provided under the agreement signed in New Delhi in September, 2018. We have sacrificed as many as four demands, including that of an autonomous council, in the wake of the rigid stand taken by Mizoram Government”. He also added the Dampa Wildlife Sanctuary has been chosen as “we were forced to leave the wildlife sanctuary way back in 1986”. “As there is not a single tiger left there, the Government could rehabilitate us there easily”.

Government of India is looking at concluding peace talks with the 23 Kuki and Zomi groups which have had Suspension of Operation agreements with the Indian government for the past decade, reports Indian Express on November 23. A B Mathur, Government of India interlocutor for the Kuki talks stated that “Talks are under way. We are hoping to arrive at an agreement soon. We cannot put a timeline on it as it is a complex issue, and we are looking at the charter of demands the groups have placed before us”. P S Haokip, ‘president’ of one of the biggest Kuki outfits — the Kuki National Organisation (KNO) expects the talks to conclude by early next year. While the KNO’s armed wing the Kuki National Army (KNA) — is one of the strongest in the region, there are 17 other armed groups, including the Kuki Revolutionary Army (KRA) and Kuki National Front (KNF), which fall under its umbrella. Another six-armed groups come under the United Revolutionary Front (UPF). According to the 2011 census, there are 6.6 lakh Kuki and Zomi living in Manipur. A solution with the Kuki-Zomi groups is as essential as one with the banned Naga groups, as villages belonging to Naga and Kuki tribes are often contiguous. The Kuki insurgency has also been seen as a backlash to the Naga movement, with Kuki arming themselves against Naga aggression.

Two civilians, identified as Mohan Gupta, and Suraj Soni, were killed by Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist) cadres in an attack at Pipra Bazar in Palamu District of Jharkhand on November 23, reports The India Express. Two others identified as Golu and Raj Kumar Soni sustained bullet injuries in the attack. Maoist literature, including calls to boycott the Assembly polls, were recovered from the spot. Director General of Police (DGP), K N Choubey, said the Maoists opened fire in Pipra Bazar on November 23, killing Mohan Gupta, a former Maoist who had become a ‘police informer’. "Gupta left the outfit a few years ago and became our informer. He was also trying to build a career in politics. Though he was not in the fray for these polls, we believe he was supporting Akhilesh Singh Bhola, a candidate from an unrecognized party," he said. Choubey added. Local police said the Maoists reached the marketplace on two motorbikes and sprayed bullets from their AK-47s. Suraj Soni, a fruit-seller, was killed by stray bullets in the indiscriminate firing, while Golu and Raj Kumar Soni sustained injuries. In the pamphlets left behind by the Maoists at the site, the outfit's Madhya Zonal Committee asked the people to boycott the state polls. "We have seized the pamphlets, but are yet to verify the contents. Prima facie, it seems that Maoists were behind the attack," Choubey said. Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) district president Narendra Pandey said Gupta's wife Sandhya Devi is a BJP worker, but Gupta had no links with the party.

In the letter, Jagan had alleged that the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) coming to power at the Centre for the second time has set loose the Hindu Fascist forces. As a result, attacks on Dalits, Adivasis and religious minorities have become rampant across the nation. He also said - on August 26, a meeting of the Chief Ministers of Maoist-affected States was held in New Delhi under the chairmanship of Home Minister, Amit Shah. The meeting announced a three-year action plan towards creating a Naxal [Left Wing Extremist, LWE]-free India. The agenda of creating a ‘Naxal-free India’ was in fact meant to create a Fascist nation and to give strength to exploitative, feudal, bourgeois and capitalist forces. “The youth of the country should join the party and resist such forces,” he further added.

Punjab Chief Minister (CM) Captain Amarinder Singh, on November 25, advocated peace with Pakistan to ensure progress, but made it clear that India would not allow Pakistan’s Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI)-backed forces such as the Sikhs for Justice (SFJ) to disturb India’s stability, reports The Tribune. Punjab CM’s statement came when he was addressing the Indian diaspora on the occasion of the 550th birth anniversary of Guru Nanak in London. In an informal chat with mediapersons, the CM said the SFJ was a hardcore terrorist group with no ideological basis. He said its sole motive was to promote ISI agenda of dividing Sikhs and India. Referring to the terror modules busted in Punjab over the past few years, he said both Centre and State were dealing with the threat with an iron hand. Also, addressing the diaspora, the CM called for cordial relations with neighbours to promote peace, in line with Guru’s teachings. “Both countries have been through a lot, and it is time to let go of the past and move forward in the spirit of friendship to ensure progress,” he said. Further, calling the Kartarpur corridor a beginning of better relations between the two countries, the Punjab CM hoped it would set the stage for opening of other important religious shrines in Pakistan to Indians.

The Kerala Police reportedly flagged the possibility that the Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist) might have gained considerable influence in urban localities since 2016, reports The Hindu on November 26.

They had strung up banners and distributed copies of their mouthpiece. An unnamed senior official said the Maoists appeared to draw urban youth to their cause by exuding a latter day ‘Robin Hood’ image of taking from the rich to provide for the poor.

The Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist) released a letter conveying that the Telangana Rashtra Samithi (TRS) Government continues to ignore the plea of the Adivasi communities to get rights over ‘Podu’ land in Telangana, reports The Hans India on November 28. The letter bearing the name of the ‘secretary’ of the JMWP (Jayashankar, Mahabubabad, Warangal and Peddapally) Division Committee, Venkatesh said that though the Adivasis have been in possession of ‘Podu’ lands for many years, the TRS Government is refusing to recognise their rights. Instead, the government is resorting to hit the livelihood of tribal communities by damaging the crops in the name of planting saplings under its flagship programme ‘Haritha Haram’. This apart, the Adivasis are subjected to harassment in the hands of forest and Police personnel. The letter also mentions that the TRS Government which failed to fulfill its election promises has given a free hand to people's representatives, capitalists and landlords to rob the people. The letter further said that since Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) retained power for the second successive time, it has been promoting Brahminical Hindu fascist agenda. Against this backdrop, the onus is on youth to stem the rot by joining the CPI-Maoist. The letter urged the people to join them in large numbers during the armed wing of CPI-Maoist, People's Liberation Guerrilla Army (PLGA) Week that begins from December 2.

Jammu and Kashmir (J&K) Police stated that Militants are using satellite phones for communication across J&K in the absence of Internet and pre-paid mobile services in the Valley, reports The Economic Times. A senior Police officer said, “Vague location of this satellite phone was traced to somewhere in Anchar area, therefore, CASO (cordon and search operation) was launched.” Last week, a CASO was conducted in Anchar area on the outskirts of Srinagar on suspicion that a satellite phone was being used in the area. Earlier this month, J&K Police had recovered a satellite phone from two encounter spots in northern Kashmir. Sajad Shah, Superintendent of Police (SP) of J&K Police, said, “We conducted a speculative CASO in Anchar area. There was no specific input, but we didn’t want to take any chance.” Another Police officer said that a local was detained from the area and the CASO was a “mopping operation” and that militants have gone back to using the traditional Thuraya satellite phones.
