The organisers said that a conclave 'Bastar Dialogue 1' will be held in Jagdalpur on October 12 and 13 at the end of the march to discuss future strategies. Symbolically, the marchers will take the same path taken by Maoists 40 years back to enter Bastar from Andhra Pradesh through Dandakaranya forest, said organiser Shubhranshu Choudhary. The peaceniks will walk along the National Highway-30, which connects Telangana to Chhattisgarh. The organisers have termed this as the first step towards what they call the new peace process.

Police arrested two Naxalites [Left Wing Extremists, LWEs] of the New Sastra People’s Morcha (NSPM), a splinter group of the Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist), and seized huge cache of arms and ammunition, including a local-made pistol and carbine, from their possession, from Atka village under Bagodar Police Station limits in Giridih District of Jharkhand on October 2, reports The Pioneer. Giridih, Superintendent of Police (SP), SK Jha said, “Two NSPM, rebels Umesh Kumar Mandal and Khagesh Mandal, were arrested during a raid conducted by a special police team at Atka area in Bagodar, following a tip off.” Umesh hailed from Atka village in Giridih District while Khagesh belonged to unknown village in same District. The SP further said, “others cadres managed to give the Police party a slip, leaving behind arms and ammunition that the police later seized.” The seized arms and ammunition included one local made pistol with magazine, four mobiles set,10 live cartridges of different bores, besides other items. It is to be noted that, the action against the NSPM cadres assumes significance amid wide spread speculation about so-called patronage by State Police, allegedly for NSPM aiding the Security Forces (SFs) in their fight against the CPI-Maoist. The NSPM gained complete control over ‘levy’ (extortion money) collection from flourishing coal and local business trade in Bagodar area in District after chasing out CPI-Maoist cadres a few years ago.

The Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist) have claimed that Odisha Chief Minister (CM), Naveen Patnaik's Government is cheating tribals in the State, reports Business Standard on October 3. The Maoists, who held a meeting Visakhapatnam District of Andhra Pradesh on the Andhra-Odisha Border (AOB) region on October 2, said the Gurupriya Bridge in Malkangiri District of Odisha, which Patnaik claimed will bring development to the region, has caused large-scale losses to tribals. "The Odisha government has constructed the bridge to loot the minerals in the region. To generate surplus electricity from the Balimela reservoir, the Odisha government has been storing more water in the dam. As a result, huge tracks of land under seven panchayats in the area have been inundated and thousands of farmers have suffered crop losses," the Maoists said. According to reports, more than 2,000 people attended the meeting which was held on the border abutting Sileru area in Vizag in the Visakhapatnam District. Addressing the tribals, the Maoists also said that if the Odisha Government fails to decrease the water level in the Balimela reservoir, they will support the people's agitation.

According to highly places sources, though there were inputs about possible entry of Rohingya into the North East, no such movement has so far been noticed on the ground, reports Assam Tribune on October 8. Sources also state that though an input was received about two weeks back about the possibility of exodus of substantial number of Rohingya into the North East authenticity could not be substantiated. However, not deciding to take any chance, the Central agencies and police forces kept a close watch on the situation and no such movement of Rohingya from either Myanmar or Bangladesh were noticed. The Railways have also been alerted to keep watch on possible movement of Rohingya from the region to other parts of the country. Sources said that so far, the North East is not facing any threat from possible mass exodus of Rohingya as it would not be easy for them to enter the region from the locations where they are staying in Myanmar and Bangladesh. Sources pointed out that in the past, a few Rohingya managed to enter the region either through the India-Myanmar border or through the international border in Bangladesh through Tripura. But their number is not large and around 30 of them were caught in different parts of Assam and are now in jail. Even during the mass exodus of Rohingya from Myanmar following the crackdown by Myanmar Army last year, very few managed to enter India and majority of them fled to Bangladesh. during the mass exodus of Rohingya from Myanmar following the crackdown by Myanmar Army last year, very few managed to enter India and majority of them fled to Bangladesh.

With 250 militants waiting on the launch pads across the Line of Control (LoC) in Pakistan occupied Kashmir (PoK) for sneaking in into Kashmir, this year the infiltration of militants into the Valley is already on increase, reports Daily Excelsior on October 8. According to Multi Agency Centre (MAC) figures, so far this year 96 militants have infiltrated into Kashmir while last year, 123 militants had sneaked in 406 infiltration attempts. In 2015, 33 militants infiltrated into Kashmir in 121 attempts while during 2016, 119 militants intruded into Kashmir in 371 attempts. General Officer Commanding (GOC) 15 Corps, Lieutenant General A K Bhatt, said that 250 militants are waiting on the launch pads along the LoC in PoK ready to sneak in ahead of winter. Sources said that these militants are mostly waiting in Athmuqam, Tehjian, Wandalkulle, Jura and Shardi launching pads. The militants are also attempting to sneak in through Uri and Nowgam sector where from it is very difficult as there are less gaps in the infiltration grid in these sectors. Sources said that the next two months are crucial as militants commanders across in PoK will try to push in as many militants as they can ahead of winter when the mountain passes close due to snowfall. However, Security Forces (SFs) are vigilant and have intensified their patrolling to foil such attempts. The report adds that, not only infiltration is on increase this year, the recruitment of militants is also on rise. According to official figures, 141 youth were recruited into militancy this year so far while for the last year the figure was 126 for whole year; in 2016 it was 88; in 2015, the number was at 66; 2014 it was 53; 2013 it was 16; 2012 it was 21; 23 in 2011 and 54 in 2010. Besides this large numbers of youth have registered themselves with the militant organizations but are waiting for their latter’s nod, sources claimed. This year SFs have achieved major successes against the militants and killed 41 infiltrators on the LoC while in the hinterland 111 militants were killed so far including top commanders of militant outfits. Despite these successes, 300 militants are still operating in Kashmir. According to sources, there are around 150-170 militants operating in North Kashmir. They are operating in small groups in Rafiabad, Zainagheer, Sopore, Hajin, Bandipora, Baramulla, Palhalan Pattan, Kunzar Tangmarg, Lolab Kandi and Rajwar in Handwara areas. These militants mostly belonged to Hizb-ul-Mujahideen (HM), Lashkar-e-Toiba (LeT), Jaish-e-Mohammed (JeM) and Al Badr. In Sopore which was for long time militancy free, Jaish has established its bases while LeT is in the peripheries of Sopore, Hajin in Bandipora, Rafiabad in Baramulla District and Handwara in Kupwara District.

Indigenous People’s Front of Twipra (IPFT), has threatened to launch an intensive movement if an Assam-like National Register of Citizens is not implemented in the border state, reports The Shillong Times on October 9. The tribal-based party, which has been spearheading the demand for NRC since a long time along with other indigenous parties, is however sticking to the cut-off date of March 25, 1971 for preparation of the citizens register.IPFT spokesperson, Mangal Debbarma sated that ‘We want 1971 as the cut-off year unlike some of the other tribal parties which are demanding 1949 and 1951 as the cut-off years on the basis of which the NRC has to be prepared. Tripura has bore the brunt of illegal influx for too long and if such a citizen’s register is not implemented, we will be compelled to launch an intensive movement’. Ever since Assam had published the complete draft NRC on July 30 this year which saw over 40 lakh not figuring in the draft,the other north-eastern states, apprehending influx, have been demanding safeguards, including mechanisms such as ILP (inner line permit). In Tripura, tribal parties such as the Indigenous Nationalist Party of Tripura and the Tripura People’s Front too have been demanding a citizen’s register on the lines of Assam.

A student organisation of Assam’s Barak Valley (Bengali dominated region) on October 14 said that it would continue to raise its voice in support of the Citizenship (Amendment) Bill, 2016, a day after a blast in Guwahati which was as a warning to Bengali organisations campaigning for settling Hindu Bangladeshis in Assam and opposing the NRC update, reports The Telegraph on October 14. All Cachar Karimganj Hailakandi Students’ Association ‘founder-president’ Pradip Dutta said, ‘If they [ULFA] are thinking that Bengalis will become afraid after the blast, they are living in a fool’s paradise. They are unaware of the history of Bengalis. They do not know about the sacrifices made by Bengalis for Independence. They also have no idea about the 1961 agitation in which 11 people had laid down their lives for Bengali language’. He also alleged that ‘large numbers of illegal immigrants have been included in the draft NRC. “The names of more than 95 per cent applicants in places like Goalpara, Dhubri, Karimganj and Barpeta have appeared in the draft NRC. These places are full of illegal immigrants and hence, the final NRC will not be error-free’.

State Anti-Naxal Operation (ANO) unit chief Sharad Shelar spoke to the students of Gadchiroli District and motivated them to aspire for higher posts in Government and non-Government sectors by attaining higher education and focusing on their careers, reports The Times of India on October 14. “Instead of following the misguided paths of the rebels, the students should focus on their own career and aim for better education. They need to help in developing their native district where violence has curtailed progress and compelled it to remain a backward region,” he said. “The Maoists [Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist)] ensure their children are well educated and settled but want to carry on violence at the expense of the tribal youth,’ he said.Shelar addressed the students at the premises of the Unconventional Operations Training Centre (UOTC) at Suraburdi.Around 82 students from remote corners of Gadchiroli District had come to Suraburdi, in the outskirts of Nagpur city during their Maharashtra tour. The tour also included Mumbai, Pune, Thane, Aurangabad and Shegaon among other places. The students also visited Deekshabhoomi and Dr Babasaheb Ambedkar International Airport.

National Socialist Council of Nagaland-Khaplang (NSCN-K) ‘general secretary’ Secretary Isaac Sumi has expressed that NSCN-K and Government of India (GoI) are on the verge of creating a conducive atmosphere for resumption of the peace talk, reports Nagaland Post on October 15. GoI is treading towards an agreement which will end violence and bloodshed in the region and Khango Konyak and Isaac Sumi led NSCN-K authorities are optimistic about the resumption of the much awaited peace talks after NSCN-K unilaterally abrogated the cease fire on March 27, 2015. The Union Ministry of Home Affairs (UMHA) desired to continue the ceasefire agreement which was signed between the Centre and the Khaplang group on April 2, 2001 but after 14 years the Khaplang group unilaterally abrogated the Ceasefire pact in March 2015. An unidentified NSCN-K functionary stated that ‘NSCN (K) fighting for the ‘naga nation’ was unhappy with the so called peace talks because of the fact that Naga Nationalism finds no mention in any such talks and under the garb of cease fire the Centre wanted to thwart the very essence of ‘naga nationalism’ and so it was abrogated. There was nothing to talk on the Naga Nation from their end. They were not listening to us on the Nationalism aspect. Had the GOI been sincere; it should had been the core issue in such talks’. GoI on it’s part cancelled the pact with the NSCN-K on April 2, 2015 considering the involvement of the outfit with other rebel groups in insurgency activities and also for violating the ground rules of cease fire, reports Northeast Today on October 15.

The Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist), on October 16, called for a boycott of the Telangana Assembly elections scheduled for December 7, reports Newkerala.com.In a statement sent to the media, the CPI-Maoist called upon people not to participate in what it termed 'fake' elections and fight for a "democratic Telangana".Issued in the name of CPI-Maoist's Telangana State Secretary Hari Bhushan, the statement found fault with the policies pursued by all political parties. Alleging that the ruling Telangana Rashtra Samithi (TRS) has not fulfilled promises made in the last Assembly elections, it said that since public resentment was growing, Chief Minister (CM), K. Chandrasekhar Rao went for early elections by dissolving the Assembly nine months before its term was to expire. Hari Bhushan also slammed the Maha Kutami or Grand Alliance and the Bahujan Left Front (BLF). He said nothing could be achieved with the unity of the Congress and the Telugu Desam Party (TDP). He said he believes that parties like the Communist Party of India (CPI) and the Telangana Jana Samithi (TJS) joining hands with the Congress and the TDP in the name of Maha Kutami is tantamount to mobilising votes for bourgeoisie parties.The letter alleged that the Left parties have given up solving people's basic problems and the revolutionary movement to vie for positions of power.

Letters, seized during the searches, show that the Left-Wing activists arrested in the Elgar Parishad case had connections with some top Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist)leaders, the prosecution told a court in Pune on October 19, reports The Pioneer.District Judge K D Vadane is currently hearing bail applications of activists Surendra Gadling, Shoma Sen, Vernon Gonsalves, Arun Ferreira and Sudha Bharadwaj, arrested in June and August this year (2018).Pune Police has evidence of their involvement in a larger conspiracy to undermine the sovereignty of India, public prosecutor Ujjwala Pawar said, opposing the bail pleas."The seized letters reveal a conspiracy of the banned CPI (Maoist) to abet frequent protests by instigating Dalit sentiments in various parts of the country," she said.The Maoists and their sympathisers thought that these protests will "gradually break down the law and order and it will have political ramifications," she added. Pawar also read out some letters allegedly referring to top Maoist leaders who carry rewards on their heads."One of the letters mentions 'comrade G', who has been identified as comrade Ganapathy, who is the general secretary of CPI (Maoist) and carries a bounty of Rs 1 crore on his head. Another letter has a mention of 'comrade M', who is comrade Dipak alias Milind Teltumbde (and) who carries a reward of Rs 40 lakh on his head," the prosecutor said.Police found Teltumbde’s photo on activist Rona Wilson's laptop, she said. Wilson was among the activists arrested in June.One of the letters from "comrade Prakash" to Gadling stated that the activist had been given the critical responsibility of recruiting young cadres to strengthen the bases where Maoists have suffered major setbacks, Pawar said.Gadling was also asked to procure explosives from a mining contractor in Bijapur, she said.Another letter said arrested activist Sudhir Dhawale was working with Maoist cadres Deepu and Mangalu to prepare for Elgar Parishad two months in advance, the prosecutor claimed.The sender of this letter instructed the accused to exploit the death of a youth in the violence at Bhima Koregaon on January 1 this year and instigate people against the government, Pawar said.Pawar also countered the defence's claim that the Indian Association of People's Lawyers (IAPL) is a reputed lawyers' body working for the marginalised people and not a Maoist front, as alleged by Police.Citing a seized letter, Pawar said that some underground Maoists attended a conference organised by the IAPL on the Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act on June 24, 2017.

Pakistani troops on October 23 violated the ceasefire along the Line of Control (LoC) in Poonch District with one of the shells landing inside the Brigade Headquarters in the Poonch town but causing no casualties, reports Daily Excelsior. “Pakistani troops fired rocket propelled grenades (RPG) and small arms at around 1035 hours during ceasefire violation. One round landed on a barrel type store shelter in Poonch causing it to catch fire,” Jammu-based Defence spokesman Lt Col Devender Anand said. “Initial analysis indicates caliber of 105/106 mm RCL (recoilless gun). Further details are being ascertained,” he added. Earlier in the day, when the blast was reported inside the 93rd Brigade Headquarters at Moti Mahal in Poonch, the spokesman had said that it had nothing to do with cross-border shelling from Pakistan. However, Senior Superintendent of Police, Poonch, Rajiv Pandey later told reporters that initial investigation suggested that a bomb fired from across the border landed inside the brigade headquarters of the Army causing a minor fire. Meanwhile, as Pakistan violated ceasefire, one round of 82 mm mortar landed at Jhalas in Krishna Ghati sector of Poonch District in the evening of October 23, reports Daily Excelsior. “One muffled blast around 1800 hours was misconstrued as blast in the garrison,” the spokesman said adding there was no casualty reported. “Despite repeated calls for restraint and adherence to the ceasefire understanding of 2003 for maintaining peace and tranquility, Pakistan forces have carried out 1,591 incidents of unprovoked ceasefire violations along the LoC and IB in 2018 so far,” sources said.

I firmly believe that to be able to protect the existence of Assam, there is no other alternative. We need Assam’s sovereignty to protect its existence. That’s the reason I joined the ULFA-I. We, the Assamese people, were once warriors but now, we are forced to stoop to the Government of India even for petty issues’.

Reacting to the reports that three defence personnel were killed in suspected sniper attacks by Jaish-e-Mohammed (JeM) terrorists since mid-September 2018, Army Chief General Bipin Rawat on October 29 said the Army was looking into reports of snipers entering the Kashmir Valley to target defence personnel, reports Daily Excelsior. He said to say snipers have come into the Valley was “premature”. He said the security force was studying whether the attacks were carried out by snipers. “Whether these attacks have been done by snipers or not, this is something we are still studying. But to say that snipers have infiltrated and that they have sniper weapons…We have not found any sniper weapon...,” he added. Based on intelligence inputs, security agencies believe that at least two separate ‘buddy’ groups of the JeM comprising two terrorists each entered Kashmir Valley in early September and have entrenched themselves in Pulwama District with the help of some overground supporters of the outfit. These terrorists, according to the officials, have been thoroughly trained by Pakistan’s external intelligence agency ISI for carrying out sniper attacks in the Valley and have been armed with M-4 carbines, used by the US-led allied forces in Afghanistan.
