Hindustan times reports that 14-year-old Barun Munda, a cadre of the Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist) who surrendered before the court of Additional Chief Judicial Magistrate, Ghatsila on November 8 has pleaded before the Jharkhand Police to help him pursue studies claiming that he had been 'trapped' by the Ghurabandha squad of the Maoists, Superintendent of Police (Rural), Ranjit Prasad said.

A nephew of hardcore Maoist Phogra Munda, he was in the squad for about a year when he was asked to do errands like carrying the Maoists' fire-arms and preparing food except when on particular "assignments like murder or act of sabotage on specific days." Barun was accused in the killings of two persons a few months ago and of blowing up rail tracks near Dalbhumgarh during a bandh called by the Maoists early this year. The boy claimed before the Police that he was lured by the Maoists since he wanted to earn fast bucks "for studies". Barun had made up his mind to flee from the group after the Maoists repeatedly refused to pay him, the SP Ranjit said.

Times of India reports that Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist) ‘general secretary’ Muppala Laxman Rao alias Ganapathi says that the death of Azad was a severe blow for his outfit, but offers conditions for talks with the Government yet again. Replying to a question if in an interview that it was possible to talk with the Government after Azad's killing he said “ …For the past one and a half year, Comrades Azad, Kishenji and I have been stating our party's stand regarding talks... but government said talks would be held only if Maoists abjure violence. Keeping in view the war on the people...Azad continued declaring till the end that we would be ready for simultaneous ceasefire if the government is ready for it. The government doesn't feel any need for holding talks. It is crystal clear that there is no conducive atmosphere for talks. In spite of this, we request the people to demand from the government to prove its commitment to talks by implementing the following steps. (a) Stop Operation Green Hunt. Withdraw paramilitary forces. If government stops its offensive, then the counter-offensive would also stop. (b) Ours is a political party...with an ideological and military line and clear-cut policies on matters relating to culture, caste, gender, nationality etc. So the ban on our party should be lifted. (c) In Andhra Pradesh, Comrade Riyaz who participated in talks with the government in 2004 was murdered... Azad was murdered. It is not possible to believe the government and send underground comrades for talks... If the government releases our leadership from jails, then they would directly represent our party in the talks.”

Meanwhile, extending a call for a complete boycott of panchayat (village level local self government institution) elections in the District, the Maoists have asked villagers to abstain from voting and contesting the polls. Central Zonal Committee of the CPI-Maoist spokesperson Paramjeet said that Maoists have a wide base in rural areas and the panchayat election is nothing but a conspiracy of the ruling class to create a divide among the cadres. "We have appealed to our sympathisers and villagers to keep away from the polls but action could be harsh if someone from within the party decides to contest the election," Paramjeet said.

The Hindu reports that the Cabinet Committee on Economic Affairs (CCEA) on November 26 approved the commencement of an Integrated Action Plan (IAP) in 60 selected Districts affected by Naxal [Left Wing Extremism] violence with the aim of giving a fillip to development schemes in tribal and backward regions. The IAP would be an additional central assistance scheme on a 100 per cent grant basis. It is aimed at quick resolution of problems concerning healthcare, drinking water, education and roads. In 2010-11 alone, each of the 60 Districts will be given a block grant of INR 250 million, with the total coming to a INR 15, 000 million. In 2011-12, the grant will go up to INR 300 million each. “This is in pursuance of the Finance Minister's announcement in his budget speech of 2010-11 and the Prime Minister's address to the National Development Council on July 24. The scheme, to begin with, will be implemented over two years – 2010-11 to 2011-12,” Home Minister P. Chidambaram told journalists. Schemes would be decided by a committee, headed by the District Collector. The Superintendent of Police and the District Forest Officer would be its members. The IAP would be reviewed for implementation in the 12th Plan at a later stage, Chidambaram said.Meanwhile, the existing Kalahandi-Bolangir-Koraput (KBK) plan would continue, with an annual allocation of INR 1,300 million for all the eight Districts (Kalahandi, Naupada, Bolangir, Subarnapur, Koraput, Malkangiri, Rayagada and Nabarangpur) in Odisha put together. The eight KBK Districts have been included in the IAP. They would get an additional block grant of INR 250 million each in the current year, 2010, and a suitable additional amount under both State and District components of the IAP in the subsequent years. The IAP would focus on improvements in governance and the States would have to comply with specific preconditions before availing themselves of the second tranche of the additional financial assistance in 2011-12 under the State component of the IAP. However, these conditionalities would not apply to the District component of the IAP, according to the CCEA decision.
