A Division Bench of the Andhra Pradesh High Court, on October 4, declared that the State government could not grant accelerated promotion to the posts of Circle Inspector of Police (CIs) and Deputy Superintendent of Police (DSP) for supposed outstanding performance in containing left-wing extremist—Naxalite—activities. The Court was confirming the order of the Andhra Pradesh State Administrative Tribunal (APAT), which had declared that note 2 of rule 3 of the AP (Civil) services and additional provision to rule 6 are bad in law and contradictory to Article 14 and 16 of the Constitution of India. The State government had issued G.O.Ms.No. 267 in November 2001 conferring upon itself the power to grant accelerated promotions to CIs and DSPs without reference to minimum qualifying service. The government introduced this incentive for officers working in Naxal-affected areas.

According to media reports, left-wing extremists—Naxalites—of the People’s War Group (PWG) has issued a notice asking Panchayat and Zila Parishad (local bodies) members in Malkangiri district to resign within 15 days or face the consequences.

Addressing a press conference on the occasion of the 10th anniversary of the Rapid Action Force (RAF), Director General of the Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF) said the RAF, a wing of the CRPF, is continuously developing new strategies to combat left-wing extremists—Naxalites. Referring to the new tactics adopted by Naxalites, he said, "A few years ago, RDX or remote controlled weapons were unheard of. We only had to deal with crude, home made weapons. But their tactics are changing and we too have to devise ways and means to combat them." Indicating a revamp of the intelligence wing of the CRPF, Mishra said, "Due to poor local intelligence in Orissa recently, the CRPF lost a number of its men. But the intelligence wing in Andhra Pradesh is excellent." In Andhra Pradesh, the RAF has been deployed in Naxalite-affected districts like Adilabad, Karimnagar, Nizamabad, Warangal, Nalgonda, Medak, Khammam, Mahbubnagar, East Godavari and Visakhapatnam.

According to official sources, the October 9-landmine blast at Kanda Ghati, Palamu district, in which seven police personnel were killed was planted by left-wing extremists—Naxalites—as long as four years ago. Speaking to the media in Ranchi on October 10, Inspector General of Police R.C. Kaithal, said, "The landmine (that exploded on October 9) was planted in 1998 when the cemented road was constructed…. It seems that the extremists have planted landmines in roads with the help of contractors or labourers in many parts of the State." The police have advertised in newspapers inviting road builders to disclose where they had laid landmines under pressure from Naxalites. According to the State police chief, R.R. Prasad, "The move is simply to know the exact location of landmines. If they (contractors) fail to turn up with the facts, we will catch them after a blast takes place." The government is also planning to buy mine detectors, he added.
