Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF), the nodal agency overseeing deployment of security forces for the assembly elections, has increased the number of unarmed aerial vehicles (UAVs) in the Maoist zone for round-the-clock surveillance, reports The Times of India.

The Israeli Heron is operated from airbase at Begumpet in Hyderabad. It was supposed to start operating from October 1. However, its launch was delayed by about a month due to various reasons, including weather. Further, as many as 167 polling stations in Bastar relocated 167 polling stations in the sensitive areas of Bastar region, which will have polling in the first phase of Chhattisgarh Assembly elections, have been relocated for "security and accessibility" reasons, reports IBN Live.

as intelligence inputs point to "assiduous preparations" by the CPI-Maoist to disrupt the November 11 poll in Chhattisgarh, the Election Commission (EC) has agreed to relocate around 150 polling booths in the Naxal-infested interiors of south Bastar to "safer" places along the arterial roads, reports The Times of India. Though the Union home ministry and Chhattisgarh government had identified 299 booths as "hyper-sensitive" and requested the EC to shift them out as polling parties and paramilitary forces would risk landmine attacks while accessing these booths, the Commission ensured that only as many booths were relocated as agreed among the candidates of all parties. "After the deliberations, there is consensus in favour of relocation of around 150 polling stations. These may now be shifted to places closer to the roads, or even safer locations within the villages, such as the panchayat office," an EC official told The Times of India.Intelligence agencies have lately reported large-scale mobilization of Maoist cadres in Naxal-dominated areas of Chhattisgarh, assembling and planting of IEDs on routes to polling booths and formation of small "crack" teams to locate suitable ambush points to target polling parties and security forces. This has led the Union Home Ministry to seek stepped up counter-Naxal operations not only in Chhattisgarh but also adjoining areas of Maharashtra, Odisha and Andhra Pradesh. Other measures advised are aggressive intelligence-gathering, proper road-opening, assessing possible ambush points and dismantling of IEDs possibly planted there. The nodal officer appointed by the Chhattisgarh Government after the Darbha Ghati massacre to coordinate security for political events has also been asked to coordinate the arrangements for VIP movement and rallies.

Suspected cadres of the People's Liberation Front of India (PLFI), a breakaway faction of the Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist) killed three persons, including a Jharkhand Mukti Morcha (JMM) party worker and a student of Industrial Training Institute (ITI), in separate incidents at Basia and Kamdara in Gumla District late on November 2, reports The Times of India. Bodies of Laxman Kansari (40), a JMM worker from Ramjadi village under Sisai Police Station, and Ashif Ansari, a resident of Ahmadnagar in Sisai, were recovered from Porangtoli near Kumhari village. They also found a pamphlet in which PLFI claimed responsibility. Both of them were drunk, said Police.

Across poll-bound Bastar region in south Chhattisgarh, where the Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist) hold sway, Security Forces led by the Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF) found about 500kg Improvised Explosive Devices (IEDs) in the last 10 days averting loss of lives and property, reports The Times of India on November 8. Maoists planted these IEDs along highways and kutcha village roads, to enforce poll boycott and harm Security Forces. "Of them, most are command wire IEDs. However, pressure IEDs have also been found in Chhattisgarh," said a senior CRPF officer. Early November 7, a CRPF-led joint forces team found two 25kg command wire IEDs packed in steel cans along the highway between Dornapal and Jagargunda in Sukma District. The IEDs were planted close to the spot where the Maoists had ambushed and killed 75 CRPF personnel in 2010. Most of the IEDs detected are made of ammonium nitrate though large number of gelatin IEDs have also been found. Since November 1, security forces found 132kg IEDs in Chhattisgarh and 130kg along the state's border with Jharkhand. More IEDs were defused at the spot they were found. In October, 109kg IEDs were found in Chhattisgarh and 274kg along Chhattisgarh-Jharkhand border. Bastar region, which has seven districts and 12 assembly constituencies spread over about 40,000 sq km, goes to polls on November 11.

The group, comprising around 15 people, accused the gram panchayat member, who is an environmental activist, of “aiding the government in displacing the tribal people.” The Maoists, all below the age of 30, knocked on the door of Ramachandra Bhat (42), the former gram panchayat member and currently working for the non-governmental organisation, Wild Cane, that seeks to rehabilitate villagers in the national park, and asked him to come out. When he refused, they set fire to a shed and van parked there. They also set fire to a two-wheeler.

18 assembly constituencies across eight Districts in Bastar in South Chhattisgarh and Rajnandgaon and Kanker Districts in North Chhattisgarh went for poll on November 11, reports The Times of India. The voters defied the poll boycott called by CPI-Maoist as well as a heightened threat of IED/armed attacks to record 67 percent turnout till 6pm on November 11, reports The Times of India.

Notwithstanding the fast pace of the exercise it is undertaking to bifurcate Andhra Pradesh, the Centre is worried over the long-term security implications in Telangana as well as residuary Andhra Pradesh (AP), reports The Hindu on November 15. It views the Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist) menace, Jehadi terrorism and communalism as the foremost concerns for Telangana while residuary AP would have coastal security as an area of prime concern. In a note titled ' Andhra Pradesh: Emerging concerns following Cabinet decision to divide the State' submitted by senior Security Advisor to Union Home Minister and Task Force on security issues on bifurcation chairman K. Vijay Kumar, Andhra Pradesh came in for lavish praise for creating ‘excellent organisational structures’ in police like Greyhounds and State SIB for fighting the Maoist menace, counter intelligence cell and OCTOPUS to handle the Jihadi terrorism and a strong intelligence network to deal with the communal situation. The Task Force said that Telangana and residuary AP would need to create similar structures/policy framework in shortest possible time, to ensure that Maoists were not able to take advantage of the transition phase and share each other's experiences.

The first phase of Chhattisgarh elections witnessed higher-than-expected turnout but in eight districts worst affected by Left Wing Extremism (LWE), at least 20 booths recorded zero polling, an official said, reports The Indian Express. A Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA) internal note said "security forces frustrated Maoist plan to disrupt polls." One of the reasons attributed to the eight percent increase in voter turnout compared to the 2008 Assembly elections in these 18 constituencies was the "reach of the security forces deeper into these areas over the past one year." Since November last year, the Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF) established 20 new camps in areas like Narayanpur, Kondagaon and Sukma. Many polling booths were located closer to these camps so that people could vote despite a ban called by the Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoists). MHA lauded the meticulously planned induction of 564 companies of additional forces, post-induction training including IED detection and most importantly scaling up anti-Maoist operations closer to poll date.

The Union Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA) has told the Supreme Court that Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist) ideologues and sympathisers are more dangerous than the armed cadres of the CPI-Maoist as they were making all efforts to keep the Naxal [Left-Wing Extremist (LWE) movement alive, reports The Hindu on November 16. “The ideologues and supporters of the CPI (Maoist) in cities and towns have undertaken a concerted and systematic propaganda against the state to project it in a poor light and also malign it through disinformation… In fact, it is these ideologues who have kept the Maoist movement alive and are in many ways more dangerous than the cadres of the People’s Liberation Guerrilla Army,” the MHA said in an affidavit in the apex court. The Centre’s affidavit is in response to a Supreme Court notice on a PIL plea seeking directions to the Centre and nine Naxal-affected States to formulate a policy on the Maoist issue.

This may provoke the rebels,” he said in a press statement. “The fact is if the Maoists want, they can influence voting in cities too – in rural areas, no one would dare to vote despite the presence of a large number of forces, unless the Maoists approve of it. The villagers know, they are the ones who have to stay in the village after the forces leave,” Kunjam added. He appealed to media to refrain from provoking the Maoists.

Minister for Home Thiruvanchoor Radhakrishnan on November 18 said the State Government was planning a multi-pronged approach to tackle the Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist) threat, including the establishment of a special anti-terrorist force, reports The Hindu. Replying to questions at a press conference, Radhakrishnan said the Home Department had decided to strengthen 16 Police Stations in the tribal areas, in addition to opening Jana Maithri Police Stations. The student police scheme would also be implemented in tribal schools, he said. Persons belonging to the Scheduled Tribe communities would be appointed Home Guards and be given other tasks such as monitoring the reach of Government welfare programmes and development activities. Such measures would ensure a participatory role for the tribals, besides ensuring more interaction with the local population. Currently, the Thunderbolt force was present in the area. The Government would also requisition the services of Central forces, if necessary, but it did not perceive any threats from the Maoists, the Minister said. In reply to a question, Radhakrishnan said the participatory programme of the Government did not have any resemblance to the Salwa Judum (anti-Maoist vigilante group) force in Chhattisgarh. The objective of the Government was to ensure a participatory role for the tribal population. A joint operation involving the Director Generals of Police of Kerala, Tamil Nadu and Karnataka Police was already in place to monitor the situation, he said.

Addressing the inaugural session of the three-day conference of Directors General of Police (DGPs) in New Delhi, organised by the Intelligence Bureau, Union Home Minister Sushil Kumar Shinde on November 21 lauded the Central paramilitary and Police forces for their role in conducting peaceful assembly elections in Chhattisgarh, a hotbed of Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist), reports The Hindu.

On the other hand, the number of Naxals [Left Wing Extremists (LWEs)] killed has gone up to 97 from 71 last year for the same period,” he said.

The red corridor is expanding with three southern States — Karnataka, Tamil Nadu and Kerala — trying to get the Left Wing Extremist (LWE) status from the Centre, reports The Hindu on November 23. The move, which comes ahead of next year's Lok Sabha (lower house of the Parliament) polls, is based on "intelligence reports" suggesting that the Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist) is trying to strengthen its South West regional bureau in the tri-junction of Tamil Nadu, Kerala and Karanataka. The grant of LWE status would mean extension of special infrastructure schemes (SIS), security related expenditure (SRE) and integrated action plan (IAP) schemes. The threat posed by Maoists in southern States was also discussed during the ongoing Police chiefs conference in New Delhi. According to security agencies, Maoists aim to develop some Districts in the three states with a view to provide shelter to its leadership in the event of increased anti-Maoist operations in its strongholds in central India. The union Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA) has also written to the Governments of the three States informing them about the activities of the CPI-Maoist. According to MHA, the presence of Maoist groups has been noticed on 15 occasions in the Districts of Malappuram, Wayanand and Kannur Districts in Kerala, and in Mysore, Kodagu, Udupi, Chikmagalur and Shimoga Districts in Karnataka. Similarly, activities of Maoists front bodies have increased in Erode District in Tamil Nadu. "In these areas, the cadres of CPI (Maoists) were were trying to reach out to the targeted social sections by raising issues of displacement, discrimination, 'neo-liberal' economic policies and social subjugation while exhorting them to join the 'revolutionary struggle' to 'recapture' forest, water, land and factories," said one of the communications. The Centre also advised the states to develop anti-Naxal forces. In its letter, the MHA said, "The financial incentive for personnel in anti-Maoist units is perhaps only 20%of the basic salary, whereas in all the LWE affected states, the incentives ranges from 50-60% of the total salary. The state can consider enhancing the incentive. The forces in these units are ageing with most of the personnel above 35 years. This factor would vastly impair their mobility. Since, this a deputationist force, there appears to be need for infusion of younger fresh blood."

A Police official from Khuti District of Jharkhand told IANS that cadres of the People’s Liberation Front of India (PLFI), a breakaway faction of the Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist), are indulging in contract killing, reports The Times of India. "We have now found a new trend -- Maoist guerrillas are indulging in contract killing. We have blocked levy collection at many points, and to generate resources, PLFI members are indulging in contract killing," said the Police official. "People engaged in rivalry or enmity are hiring PLFI members at rate of Rs.10,000 to Rs.30,000 to execute contract killings," the police official said. Police earlier considered the killings an outcome of rivalry between the CPI-Maoist and PLFI. Investigations into some cases of murder, however, revealed the new trend.

The Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist) is making efforts to open a new theatre in south India with movement of armed cadres witnessed in Western Ghats and tri-junction of Tamil Nadu- Kerala-Karnataka, posing a serious security threat to the three States, reports The Hindu. In an internal communication, Union Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA) has said the CPI-Maoist’s efforts in the direction of expanding its organisational base in Western Ghats and the area around the tri-junction of Tamil Nadu-Kerala-Karnataka are discernible. The activities are in the form of relative increase in movement of armed cadres in the area, along with activities of its frontal organisations and over-ground elements. However, at this stage it can easily be controlled through a well-formulated action plan, the Home Ministry said. During this year, so far, presence and movement of armed CPI-Maoist groups have been noticed on over two dozen occasions in the Districts of Malappuram, Wayanand and Kannur in Kerala and Mysore, Kodagu, Udupi, Chikmagalur and Shimoga Districts in Karnataka. Though adjoining areas of Tamil Nadu have not witnessed any movement of armed Maoist cadres, activities of its front bodies have increased distinctively in Erode District, the Home Ministry said. Based on various intelligence inputs, the Ministry has asked Police forces of the three States to maintain strict vigil along the tri-junction of Tamil Nadu-Kerala-Karnataka and all-out efforts be made to check the activities of the Maoists in the initial stage itself.

Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist) has issued death sermons against four villagers through posters and pamphlets pasted at Bamdah village in Jamui District and at some public places on the Jamui-Chakai road, reports The Telegraph. Police have claimed it to be a reflection of frustrations of the rebels after facing huge defeat and loss of their top leaders at the hands of security forces. Avinash, a spokesperson of CPI-Maoist, recently appealed to Armed Force personnel deployed in this region to return their service weapons and go back to their native places. He said the government, on the pattern of the Green Hunt operations, has been utilising the armed forces to curb the voices of poor people in rural areas. He alleged that poor rural people have been subjected to torture and humiliation at the hands of Armed Forces. Avinash, said the CPI-Maoist had in September 2013 appealed to armed force personnel to return their service weapons, which they generally used against poor and innocent people. “Nobody has listened to our appeals and that is why the CPI-Maoist again asks the security personnel to return their weapons and go back to their native places within December 30, 2013,” he said. The posters announced death sentences for Bikash Sha, Amit, Sudhir Modi, Munna Keshri and Lalo Sha, all residents of Bamdah under the jurisdiction of Chandramandi police station in Jamui, for their alleged role in protesting the district administration’s bid to remove a police camp of Bihar Military Police (BMP). The camp was set up at Bamdah in 2006 after rebels killed four traders and a village chowkidar accusing them of being police informers.
