The Bihar Government is revising its existing surrender and rehabilitation policy for the Maoists to make it more attractive to lure more insurgents from the CPI-Maoist to lay down arms and join the mainstream, Police officials said on October 16. Officials said the Government felt the growing need to revise its surrender policy following an alarming rise in incidents of Maoist violence in the recent months. “The new surrender policy will incorporate some facilities to those who shun violence and join the social mainstream”, the Director General of Police (DGP), Anand Shankar, said. “It (the policy) will be better attuned to needs and open to new idea”, the DGP added. The existing surrender policy provides for a financial support of INR 200000 and additional payment of INR 100000 if surrendered along with arms. It also provides for a monthly stipend of INR 3000 and free education to children but this has failed to attract the Maoists so far. In the last four years since this policy came into being, less than 200 Maoists have surrendered in Bihar.

The Bihar Inspector General of Police (Operations) K. S. Dwivedi told Indian Express that operations against the Maoists will intensify while tougher laws would be applied against those in custody. “We have enforced Unlawful Prevention Activities Prevention Act against ultras, ensuring five years’ jail for them. We will soon enforce Section 121 (waging war against the state) of the Indian Penal Code against them. They may well face sedition charges,” Dwivedi said. He added that Police treated Maoists as hardcore criminals and had been pressing for speedy trials against them. Of 274 Maoists facing trials since 2007, 10 have been awarded death sentence and 22 life sentence in the State, he stated. He also sought at least 20 extra battalions of the Central Paramilitary Forces (CPMFs) for anti-Maoist operations. At present, a 400-member Special Task Force, 23 companies of the Central Reserve Police Force, 16 Bihar Military Police battalions and 7,000 Special Auxiliary Police personnel, besides the usual Police forces, are tackling Maoists in the State.

The Bihar Government plans to modify its existing surrender policy for the Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist) cadres and make it more attractive by incorporating a rehabilitation policy for those willing to surrender, Indian Express reported on October 28. The Director General of Police, Anand Shankar, recently said that the surrender policy would be made more attractive. "The policy is being drafted for the state government's approval with suitable changes incorporating a rehabilitation package for the naxalites volunteering to surrender with arms", Shankar added. The rehabilitation package in the new policy, he said, would be made more attractive. The existing policy, official sources said, was a failure in attracting the Maoists in their strongholds of the Jehanabad, Gaya, Aurangabad and Jamui Districts. Statistics revealed that while 74 Maoists surrendered in 2005, the figure came down to 21 in 2006. The years 2007 and 2008 registered surrender of 21 and 29 insurgents respectively and till March 2009 only two Maoists had surrendered, official sources added.
