Four left-wing extremists, Naxalites of the People’s War Group (PWG), were killed in an encounter near Padmakshigutta in Hamumakonda town, Warangal district on December 25. The encounter took place near the Hanumakonda police station where the Naxalites had triggered an explosion on December 24 night in which four persons were injured. Official sources said the incident took place when the police, who launched a massive manhunt to arrest the Naxalites responsible for the December 24 blast, came across seven Naxalites taking shelter near a hill. The police asked them to surrender, but the Naxalties hurled a bomb and opened fire forcing the police to retaliate. In the ensuing encounter, four Naxalites were killed while three others managed to escape. Three of the encounter victims have been identified as G Chandrasekhar, a teacher in a Government school, B Surender, cleaner in a local ESI hospital, and auto driver B Shankar. It is perhaps for the first time in the history of the Naxalite movement that two Government employees, including a teacher, have been killed by the police in encounter. The family members of the teacher, however, alleged that they have been killed in a fake enounter. On the other hand, the District police chief claimed that the teacher has been an activist of the PWG and two cases were pending against him in connection with the killing of two police personnel. Moreover, he was also functioning as a courier for some top leaders of the PWG, the police chief said.

Official sources indicated that the States were asked to invoke the Prevention of Terrorism Ordinance (POTO) to freeze the financial assets of the front organisations of the PWG and MCC.

The meeting was held in New Delhi in the wake of a series of Naxalite attacks over the past two months. The meeting also took stock of the measures in place to prevent the infiltration of Nepal’s Maoist insurgents into India and chalked out an elaborate counter-action plan to prevent the Naxalite groups from carving out a ‘compact revolutionary zone’. This zone envisages declaring a stretch of area running from Nepal to Andhra Pradesh as a ‘liberated zone’.

Andhra Pradesh Director General of Police HJ Dora, while speaking to the media in Hyderabad on December 31, said, despite an increase in the number of murders committed by left-wing extremists, Naxalite outfit the Peoples’ War Group (PWG), in the year 2001, Naxal violence registered a decline by about 30 per cent and the ‘continuing military successes’ of the police have forced the PWG to effect a major strategy change of retreating into the forest areas. The total number of offences committed by the Naxalites stood at 788 (including 188 murders) in 2001 as against a total of 867 offences (including 124 murders) in the preceding year. "Year 2001 has been very difficult for us. But we have many major successes during the year,'' he said. The police chief also pointed that with the police maintained relentless pursuit the PWG had been forced to retreat into the forest areas leaving the plains and the semi-forest areas. Dora said the PWG was now concentrating more on the military training of its cadre, rather than on their political education. "This made us to revise our strategy and we have succeeded in engaging the People's Guerrilla Army platoons 15 times, thrice each in Adilabad, Nizamabad and Karimnagar and six times in Warangal,'' Dora said.
