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.
