The 2009-10 annual report of the Union Ministry of the Home Affairs (MHA) has indicated that the terror infrastructure in Pakistan continues to remain intact and infiltration in Jammu and Kashmir remains unabated with a substantial increase in 2009, reports Times of India. "There are reports to indicate that the infrastructure for training terrorist elements across the border continues to remain intact," the 2009-10 annual report of the MHA said. It also mentioned that the Government was firmly committed to thwarting the challenge posed by terrorists and violence sponsored from across the border. "The available information reveals that the infiltration that consistently decreased since 2005 has reversed in 2009 and increased substantially when compared to 2008," the report said. There were 485 attempts of infiltration in 2009 in comparison to 342 in 2008. Giving an overview of the internal security scenario, the MHA annual report said, the situation in the country remains largely under control, though violence has increased in terms of number of incidents and casualties of civilians and security personnel, as compared to the corresponding period of 2008. "In the recent years, the concentration of Left Wing Extremist (LWE) violence has been mainly in the States of Jharkhand, Chhattisgarh, Orissa, Bihar, West Bengal and Maharashtra," the report said. Left wing extremists operate in the vacuum created by functional inadequacies of field level governance structures, espouse local demands and take advantage of prevalent dissatisfaction and feelings of perceived neglect and injustice among the under-privileged segments of population. "CPI (Maoist) [Communist Party of India-Maoist] philosophy of armed struggle to overthrow the Indian State is not acceptable in our Parliamentary democracy and will have to be curbed at any cost. Government has given a call to the Maoist to abjure violence and come for talks. This has not been accepted by them so far," it said. While the overall counter action by the affected States in terms of LWEs killed, arrested and surrendered has shown much better results in 2009, there is an urgent need to strengthen Police response particularly by Bihar, Jharkhand, Orissa, Maharashtra and Chhattisgarh by improving actionable intelligence collection and sharing mechanisms and strengthening their Police Force, the report said.

At least 70 Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF) personnel were killed in an attack by the Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist) in Dantewada District early on April 6, reports Times of India. The attack took place when a CRPF patrol party was returning from a road opening duty in the naxalite-infested Mukrana forest in the District between 6 to 7 am. "We have rushed helicopters to evacuate the casualties," Chhattisgarh Director General of Police Viswa Ranjan told PTI. The death toll in the attack may rise as many of the personnel have been seriously injured. The CRPF patrol party was totally taken aback by the Maoists who surfaced at a hillock to carry out the attack. Dantewada Superintendent of Police Amresh Mishra said that the Maoists blew up a vehicle carrying the CRPF personnel. The incident took place in the early hours near Chintalnar -Tarmetla village in the District when Maoists attacked a joint team comprising personnel from CRPF, District Forces and Special Police, he said. The team had been camping in interiors of Tarmetla forest for the last three days as part of a combing operation, Mishra said. Four Policemen have been injured in the blast. The landmine had exploded in Tanginiguda area when a van carrying personnel of the elite anti-Naxalite Special Operation Group was returning from an operation in adjacent Malkangiri District in Orissa.

Earlier in the day, Union Home Minister P. Chidambaram, who visited Jagdalpur in Chhattisgarh to review the security situation in the wake of the Maoist attack and pay tributes to martyred CRPF personnel, said the Naxalites have answered the call for talks after giving up violence by a “savage and brutal act of violence.'' “It is the Naxalites who have described the State as the ‘enemy' and the conflict as a ‘war.' If this is a war – and I wish to say that we have never used that word – it is a war that has been thrust upon the State by those who do not have a legitimate right to carry weapons or to kill. The State – the Central government and the affected State governments – are discharging their legal and constitutional duty to protect the people,'' he said in a statement. He further said that the goal of the Naxalites was to overthrow the established authority of the government through armed liberation struggle. “We cannot – and we shall not – allow them to succeed in that goal.'' Chidambaram also said while the Government had refrained from using air power against Maoists, the situation could change. "At present there is no mandate to use the air force or any aircraft. But, if necessary, we will have to revisit the mandate to make some changes." Meanwhile, Chidambaram insisted that there was no "Operation Green Hunt" against Maoists as has been widely reported. Chhattisgarh Police officials say they had coined the term for one successful drive against the Maoists in the State.

Assam Chief Minister Tarun Gogoi in New Delhi said that the Government will not wait "indefinitely" for elusive ULFA military ‘chief’ Paresh Baruah to come for talks but expects "some good news" in the next few days, reports Shillong Times. He said, "We will not wait indefinitely for Paresh Baruah to come. We are ready to initiate dialogue with other leaders on all issues, except sovereignty." Gogoi said that Government wanted to involve all leaders of ULFA in the negotiations but everything will depend on the willingness and sincerity of the insurgent leaders. Regarding the ULFA’s links with the Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist) in Assam, the Chief Minister said that all extremists groups like Maoists and ULFA are "in the same boat" as all of them believe in armed struggle, which is not acceptable for a democratic country like India. "Naxals, ULFA are in the same boat. Their objective is to achieve their goals through armed revolution. They just want to create problem for the country," he said. The Chief Minister also advised the Maoists to follow the footsteps of the erstwhile Bodo Liberation Tigers (BLT), a militant group which after surrendering arms joined the democratic process and is now in power of the Bodoland Territorial Council (BTC), if they really care about the development of poor people.

Hindustan Times reports that the ruling CPI-M in West Bengal has organised a Salwa Judum-type anti-Maoist civilian force. A CPI-M supported private militia has already started operating in Bankura District without a formal name. CPI-M Bankura District secretary Amiya Patra said, "So far, 15 villages have formed such forces. We're encouraging the villagers." The force — comprising about 30 people at each village — will carry out night vigils to stop the Maoists from entering villages. "Every night we spread around the village and ensure that strangers don't get to enter. We also stop villagers from helping the Maoists," said a member of the force. Even though the force's job is to stop strangers, some outsiders have been noticed visiting them regularly to train them in vigilance and intelligence work.

Times of India reported on April 27 that in a bid to inspire its cadres, the Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist) is showing its cadres a CD of the April 6 massacre in Chhattisgarh in which 76 Security Force personnel were killed. Police sources said a few copies of the CD were recovered from a Maoist cadre last week from an interior location in Dantewada District close to Andhra Pradesh border. A State intelligence bureau official said: "The CPI-Maoist has learnt the art of preparing video films of its major attacks from the LTTE (Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam)." The officer described the seven-minute CD as "99 percent genuine". But Chhattisgarh Director General of Police Vishwa Ranjan refused to accept "it as a CD of the April 6 massacre". "The CD is a mix up of a number of attacks carried out by the Maoists in recent years,” Ranjan said. "I don't think it has a single footage of April 6."
