A senior Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist) leader who surrendered in Maharashtra last week claimed that a warfare expert from the Philippines visited and stayed in a Bastar (Chhattisgarh) Maoist-camp in Abujmadh for about a month to train cadres, indicating the global reach of the extremist movement. “It was way back in 2001 that a man from the Philippines had come to train us in south Bastar,” the Maoist leader Rainu told Indian Express. The Philippines has its own Maoist insurgent movement which operates under the banner of the New People’s Army. Also, two LTTE [Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam] men had come twice for the same purpose,” he added, saying, “For one month, the Filipino taught us how to carry out a mass attack. The LTTE men taught us how to lay mines and handle grenades.” “As against popular understanding that the Nepal Maoists have a smooth relationship with their Indian counterparts, the fact is that the relationship has been marred by the latter’s move of participating in elections there,” he further added. “Ten years ago, the Central Committee members (of the CPI-Maoist) had personally trained in warfare tactics in Nepal,” Rainu said. The Maoists got their first AK-47 as long back as in 1988, he also said. “While some of the arms have been purchased, most have been seized in Police ambushes. A huge cache of arms such as AK rifles, SLRs, LMGs, INSAS rifles and two-inch mortar is generally recovered from the ambush spot,” he added. Rainu said that Maoists continue to change their strategies based on previous experience, and have got advanced training in warfare. “That is one reason why Naxal casualties are generally low,” he said. For instance, the highest recorded Naxal (left wing extremist) casualties, he says, were 17 deaths in an encounter in Konta in south Bastar in 2008. At Rani Bodli Police Station in Bijapur District of Bastar, where Naxals had carried out the biggest attack in history killing 55 Policemen in a late night swoop, the insurgents lost seven men after a Policeman hiding in the bushes opened fire while the Naxals were coming out raising slogans in jubilation, according to Rainu. In various incidents in Maharashtra, in which over 50 Policemen have been killed this year, only one Naxal, Mangesh, was killed in Lahiri, he claimed. Funds, he said, come from public works, bamboo and tendu contractors, as also from tribals who contribute to the “party fund”. . “Bamboo activity fetches crores of rupees annually,” he claimed. One of the three tribal members in the 22-member Andhra cadre-dominated Dandakaranya Special Zonal Committee created in 2007 to oversee activities in Maharashtra and Chhattisgarh, Rainu laid down arms recently.

The Maharashtra Government on Deepener 9 said it would soon launch an anti-Naxal (left wing extremist) operation in coordination with neighbouring Andhra Pradesh and Chhattisgarh, according to PTI. The State has three battalions of Central Paramilitary Forces and Policemen have been provided with necessary training and sophisticated weapons. We would soon launch an anti-Naxal operation in coordination with Andhra Pradesh and Chhattisgarh, Home Minister R. R. Patil told the Assembly. There has been a spurt in Maoist activities in Gadchiroli District. At least 17 Policemen were killed in a Naxal attack in Bhamragarh taluka (revenue division) of the District in October. A young road contractor was killed by a group of Naxalites on November 25, he said. The minister informed the House that 52 Policemen were killed by Naxalites between February and May 2009. The extremists were also disrupting developmental activities and terrorising contractors working in deep forests. There have been instances of the extremists snatching arms and ammunition of Forest Department officials while they were on patrolling duty, he added. As part of streamlining and strengthening the Police force in Gadchiroli, the worst Naxal-hit district has been divided into two parts - Gadchiroli and Aheri, Patil said. About 2,355 new posts of Policemen are being created for the newly set up Gadchiroli Police range. State Reserve Police Force (SRPF) Group No 13, based in Nagpur, will be shifted to Gadchiroli to beef up anti-Naxal defence, he said. Policemen in the newly created range will be equipped with motorcycles, binoculars, bullet-proof jackets, night vision goggles and anti-landmine vehicles among other equipment. Efforts are also on to procure a helicopter, the Minister said. The Government was providing INR five lakh compensation each to the families of those killed by Naxalites on suspicion of being Police informers, he said. Unemployed local youths in the 23-40 age group are being recruited on a priority basis in Police force to deal with the Naxal menace, Patil stated. Policemen posted in Naxal-infested areas are paid one and half times more salary due to difficult condition they operate in. They are also given 30-day special leave and additional allowances, the Minister said.

A Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist) manual that has helped Maoists accelerate their activities in Gadchiroli has been recovered, according to Times Now. After a subdued stint in Gadchiroli, the Maoists have resolved to recapture their turf in the eastern District of Maharashtra. Inducting new militia, modernisng weaponry and much more is the new Maoist strategy to carry out red terror in Gadchiroli. The manual is prepared by Kosa alias Satynarayana Rao, ‘secretary’ of the Communist Party of India-Marxist-Leninist (CPI-ML) militant wing. This report, prepared late 2008, is an analysis of the Maoists decline in Gadchiroli. A future strategy, that's found resonance in attacks this year, including the gruesome encounter in Laheri that killed 17 policemen is mentioned in the report. The report also states reasons for an unsuccessful Maoist stint in Gadchiroli since 2003. According to Kosa's observations in the report, Gadchiroli has eluded Maoist attacks due to inadequate recruitment. The recommendations of the manual have now been taken very seriously. Three major attacks this year alone have massacred around 50 Policemen. Kosa's recommendations include, militia induction drives, classes for women in Upper Bastar based on new syllabus, formation of another revolutionary cell of locals and change from guerrilla warfare to mobile warfare. The Union Government's anti-Maoist operation 'Operation Green Hunt' is in its first stage. And Gadchiroli forms the first phase of this operation. Given this, Kosa's analysis could help the forces to beat the Maoists to their own game.

Times of India adds that the Naxals (left wing extremists) are concentrating at the grassroots level as well as strengthening their military wing for giving an added edge to their already potent striking powers. At least 10 area dalams (squads) have been formed by the Naxals in Gadchiroli itself. This is to ensure that their mass base remains strong in the face of incisive onslaughts by the Security Forces. The area dalams have received training in deep forest camps with the active support of the villagers on the either side of the Maharashtra-Chhattisgarh border. Apart from the other routine work of recruitment and intelligence gathering, these area dalam members have been specially trained in planting explosives and triggering blasts. A recent blast at Chichoda near Fulbodi Gatta village in the Dhanora tehsil (revenue division) of Gadchiroli District that left three cops injured was the successful outcome of the experiment. The patrolling Police party was also fired at but there was no casualty. Sources also claimed that Naxals, which have already proved better tacticians than the cops, have planned to counter the newly-designed counter offensive against them by turning the District into a virtual minefield rather than trying to clash with the 18 Central Paramilitary Forces with their extra fire powers. Sources revealed that the Naxals were already making their plans even before the paramilitary companies landed in Gadchiroli after the State elections in October. Naxals, which too has a potent intelligence wing, is learnt to have devoted their energies in building a stronger organizations at village levels. With a view to keep their mass bases intact, the Naxals focused on building as many area dalams as possible in different parts of the District. Their plan was to make Gadchiroli a liberated zone through establishing Janatana sarkars or their forms of Peoples' Government, like what they claimed to have done at Abujmadh. According to a local source, the Naxals have been fast forming smaller groups, comprising 10-15 members, for area dalams to conduct meetings in villages. These groups fan anti-Government sentiments, appeal villages to join the movement and cultivate hatred against Security Forces. "These area dalams are effective in giving shape to bigger sabotage attacks by combing their strengths, laying traps for cops or working as support with their military wings during encounter like removing the bodies of their cadres, distract the cops while fighting and also delaying the reinforcements," said an unnamed Policeman.

“It’ll be bullet for a bullet in our fight against Maoists...We will not spare any Naxal in Vidarbha. They have already killed 52 police jawans this year and it is high time we take a firm stand,” said Chief Minister Ashok Chavan on December 16, according to Times of India. Chavan said there was a rise in Naxal (left wing extremist) migration from other states to Maharashtra. “We cannot have any sympathy for them nor can we wait for them to surrender. So many lives have been lost. We will henceforth be more aggressive,” he stated, adding, “Maoists from Nepal have infiltrated and provided firearms and logistics support to Naxals hiding in our jungles. We are, therefore, expediting the process of strengthening our police machinery in Gadchiroli and other Naxal affected areas, and providing more funds for modern weaponry, helicopters and equipment.” The State Home Minister R. R. Patil, had on December 14, announced various measures being taken by Government to tackle the Naxal menace.
