According to Times of India, the Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist) has attacked mobile telephone communication systems in six States, particularly in the last three years. During this period, the Maoists have blown up as many as 62 mobile telephone towers in six Maoist-affected States. Sources in the Union Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA) said the highest number of towers, 20, was destroyed by the Maoists in Chhattisgarh where during 2008 alone 14 mobile telephone towers of both private and Government networks were attacked by the insurgents. In Bihar, the Maoists blew up 14 towers in 2008. Four other States which faced Maoists attacks on mobile telephone towers are Orissa, Jharkhand, Andhra Pradesh and Maharashtra. "Maoists believe many police informers use mobile network to inform security forces about their movement and activities which resulted arrest of several of their leaders and that is why they try to target the towers," an unnamed official said. Jharkhand, which did not see any attack on mobile towers till 2007, saw nine such attacks which disrupted the communication network in several Maoists-affected regions. In 2005, the Maoists had blown up eight mobile towers while in 2006, they targeted just five. Further, in 2007, the Maoists destroyed six mobile towers and in 2008, 43 towers were attacked.

Nearly 5,000 tribals, wielding shovels, axes and hammers and led by Communist party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist) cadres, demolished a Government building that till last week was a Police camp at Kalaimuri near Lalgarh in the West Midnapore District on May 3, reports Telegraph. Police said that around 11am, a group of Maoists gathered in front of the camp, one of four in Salboni. “They (the Maoists) contacted people in the neighbouring villages and asked them to assemble near the camp,” a Police officer said, adding, “Nearly 5,000 villagers with bows, arrows, axes, iron rods and shovels gathered within half an hour. Some in the demolition squad were women. The Maoists held an hour-long meeting with them and the demolition began around 1pm. The camp building was completely destroyed by 4pm.” Police sources said the tribals had come from about a dozen villages. This is for the first time that tribals of the area demolished a Government building. One of the tribals who helped bring the building down said, “Had the building remained standing, the Police would have returned with reinforcements. That’s why we demolished it.” Manoj Kumar Verma, the West Midnapore Superintendent of Police, said he had received news of the demolition and had informed his superiors. “We will not move into Kalaimuri now because it may lead to untoward incidents. We don’t want a confrontation with the villagers at this moment. Today’s demolition of the camp was led by Maoists,” he added.

Andhra Pradesh Home Minister K Jana Reddy has said that not more than 150-160 cadres of the Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist) could be present in the State, reports Times of India. Speaking to reporters after a high-level review meeting on the post-election law and order situation at the State Secretariat on May 4 he said, "We have very effectively tackled the Maoists over the past few years and now they have been reduced to nothing. At best, there could be some 150-160 cadres of the outlaws hiding underground in the state." He further said that talks initiated by the Congress government in late 2004 proved effective in tackling left-wing extremist menace. "Though the talks failed, we could very effectively curb Maoist activity in the state. Many of them have given up arms and surrendered before the police", he said.

While Sabar was arrested from his house at Mendapai under Bisam-Cuttack Police Station, Kutruka was arrested from his residence at Dimiriguda village under Gudari Police Station. The arrested Maoists were reportedly involved in the attacks on R. Udayagiri Police Station in 2004 and Dangasorada Police Outpost about eight months back. A number of Maoist literature and materials like banners, posters and maps being used by the insurgents were seized from their possession.

According to Express Buzz, Uday, the secretary of Bansadhara divisional committee, revealed during interrogations after being arrested from Gudari jungles in Rayagada District on April 21 that the Oriya-Telugu feeling has created rift among the Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist) cadres operating in Orissa-Andhra Pradesh border. While hardcore Maoists Basant, Ajad and Uday belong to Telugu community, Sabyasachi Panda is the lone Oriya and his ascendancy in the hierarchy has not gone down well among the cadres. Speaking to media persons on May 13, Superintendent of Police A.K. Singh said because of this rift, the Orissa cadres have no stability and are working under duress. He hoped that more Maoists would surrender as the State has one of the best surrender policies.

According to Telegraph, the diktat by the Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist) to tendu leaf (leaves of diospyros melonoxylon used for rolling bidis) traders in Ghatshila sub-divisional villages in East Singhbhum District to pay an enhanced rate has caused economic hardship to the tribals. As the traders are not ready to obey the diktat, tribals, who collect tendu leaves on a daily basis during the season from April to June, are left with no buyers since the Maoists have set ablaze three depots of tendu leaves in the Sukhlara panchayat (village-level local self Government institution) under MGM Police Station, Jhanti Jharna and Karadoba panchayats in the Ghatshila Police Station area.

Quoting sources in the Union Ministry for Home Affairs (MHA), PTI reported on May 20 that in the backdrop of the violence committed by the Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist) during the just concluded Lok Sabha (lower house of the Parliament) elections, the MHA is gearing up to launch a multi-pronged offensive against Maoists through joint operations with State Police forces. The Ministry has asked extremist-affected States, especially Chhattisgarh, to increase presence of its State Police along with the para-military forces during all combing and counter-offensive operations against the Maoists. This follows complaints from central para-military forces that the presence of State Police, particularly in Chhattisgarh, was nil or minimum, official sources said. An analysis of the recent attacks during elections, in which 32 Central Police personnel were killed, reportedly showed that central forces did not follow Standard Operational Procedures (SOPs). Central forces like the Central Industrial Security Force and the Central Reserve Police Force are also working on new SOPs to be followed in extremist infested areas. According to MHA sources, six to seven months have been set for the results of the new policies, which would be put in place within a month of the formation of the new Government. Besides greater coordination between paramilitary forces and the State Police, civil society involvement in countering extremist propaganda also forms a part of the strategy.

Times of India reports that normal life was disrupted on the first of the two-day general shutdown called by the Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist) in Malkangiri, headquarters of the Malkangiri District, on May 20. No vehicle could reportedly be seen beyond Malkangiri town and the nearly 100-kilometres forest road at Motu along the Andhra Pradesh border was deserted. There was no vehicular movement on the roads connecting Malkangiri with Chitrakonda and Balimela. A red alert has been sounded in the region. The Maoists blocked all roads connecting Malkangiri town by felling trees and road communication from Chitrakonda and Balimela with Malkangiri town was completely paralyzed as the Maoists had blocked the roads at three places. The Andhra-Orissa Border Zonal Committee of the CPI-Maoist had called the shutdown demanding release of some of their cadres lodged in different jails in the State, withdrawal of central para-military forces from Malkangiri, an end to Police atrocities on villagers on the pretext of operations against the Maoists and some development issues related to tribals.

Expressing an immediate need of additional special forces from the Central Government to deal with the Maoist activities in Gadchiroli, he said; “Chhattisgarh has 16 battalions of central forces posted in its territory, Andhra Pradesh too has few such battalions, but Maharashtra has none. I am going to raise the demand with Union Home Minister to deploy at least eight to 10 central paramilitary battalions permanently in State. Besides this, we (State Government) will also raise two to three new battalions to deal with the Naxalites.” Rejecting the theory of military solution to Naxal problem, he said that “military action at this stage is not acceptable.

Telegraph reports that two persons, identified as Paswar and Maqsood, were beaten to death by cadres of the Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist) at Banbar village under Bhandaria Police station in Garhwa District in the evening of May 23. According to Garhwa Superintendent Police (SP) Saket Singh, the Maoists first asked Paswar to provide them with a 9-mm pistol. When he pleaded his inability to do so, he was beaten to death with lathis (batons). Maqsood, too, was beaten to death in a similar way. A handbill left by the Maoists at the spot stated that Maqsood used to extort money in the name of their party organisation and that he was also a rapist. “Maqsood was a notorious criminal. He was released from jail about a month ago. But on what basis did the rebels demand a 9mm pistol from Paswar is rather intriguing. Both cases are being investigated,” said the SP over phone.

Mahesh Gagda, a Member of Legislative Assembly from the Maoist-affected Bijapur constituency, has alleged that Maoists are forcibly taking away children from villages and using them as human shields against Security Forces, IANS reported on May 24. "Maoists are forcibly picking up boys and girls from their houses and schools in the interiors to use them as shields in the war against (security) forces," said Gagda. He also said "Maoists have completely halted development in about 100 villages out of 272 villages that form Bijapur constituency. Kids in Bijapur are carrying arms, even AK-47s. Maoists deliberately put arms on children's body and then cover these with a school dress or other simple clothes to dodge Police security and frisking. Maoist leaders always keep armed kids around themselves and whenever they want to kill anyone, they use the weapon being carried by the kid," adding "The Maoist menace has reached its flashpoint in Bijapur. They are forcibly recruiting boys and girls in their rank and file and generally girls are also sexually exploited."

On May 24, Times of India reported that CPI-Maoists have opened a new front at their stronghold in Gadchiroli called ‘Indravati Company,’ christening it after the river that separates the States of Maharashtra and Andhra Pradesh. The revelation has come to fore recently, among other inputs, after surrendered Maoists revealed crucial details on being interrogated. ‘Indravati Company’, formed by amalgamating two platoon dalams (squads) having a strength of around 75 cadres, has been made functional to give impetus to the movement in the southern part of Gadchiroli, which is included in the ambitious Dandakaranya plan of the CPI-Maoists. The newly formed company, which is placed under Gadchiroli-based senior cadre identified as Suresh, has been assigned special responsibilities along with strengthening the movements in the stronghold.

On May 28, the Security Force (SF) personnel following an encounter arrested nine Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist) cadres and recovered three rifles, can bombs, uniforms and urea in the Ulung village under Rania Police Station area of Khunti District, reports Telegraph. The encounter took place when a joint team of Police and Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF) engaged in a long-range patrolling were fired upon by the Maoists at around 9.30am. The encounter, involving 40 SF personnel and some 200 Maoists, reportedly continued for 45-minutes. According to the Superintendent of Police of Khunti, Prabhat Kumar, “One out of the three rifles seized was a .303-rifle that is used by the Jharkhand Police personnel. Rebels must have looted the gun from a Police outpost. However, we are not sure from where,” adding, “three can bombs were recovered but we are yet to count the number of uniforms recovered. Besides, we have also recovered empty canvas kit bags used to carry all the equipment.” He also said that “As an exchange began, the rebels were left with little option other than escape into the nearby village (Ulung).” After the Maoists stopped firing, Police cordoned off the village and carried out a search operation that carried on till 5pm in the evening. “Afterwards, we drew out eight persons who were neither Ulung residents nor related to the villagers. After a brief inquiry, we ascertained that they were rebels and then mounted pressure on them to help recover arms, ammunition and uniforms from the area. While returning from the village, we arrested one more, a man who doubled up as an informer,” he added.

Quoting sources in the Union Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA), Daily News and Analysis reported on May 29 that the Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist) is getting foreign-made weapons, especially Chinese ones, from Northeast-based militant groups. Security Forces have reportedly recovered Chinese, American, Israeli and Belgian guns, small arms, rifles and grenade launchers during encounters in Jharkhand and Chhattisgarh in the past two years. MHA officials have confirmed that of the total number of arms seized, roughly placed at 230, there are about 80 Chinese ones. According to senior MHA officials, arms were being smuggled through Bihar and distributed along the red corridor that stretches down to Karnataka in the south. "It is no longer about ideology. Both the Maoists and northeast militants have a common agenda and that's the only reason why arms are being supplied to the red brigade," an unnamed MHA official said. He also said Maoists are using Russian-made AK series rifles, adding, "The fire power of Maoists have improved considerably." He also said that Maoists had become much more organised than what they were some years ago. Their immaculate planning was evident during the elections when Paramilitary forces guarding polling booths suffered heavy casualties. "It was for the first time that not only security men but polling officials were also targeted in Jharkhand and Chhattisgarh. Earlier, the attacks were limited to men in uniform," added the official.

Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist) infested regions to enable them earn a livelihood and join the mainstream. About 250 youths from the insurgency-affected areas are presently being trained for recruitment in the army, paramilitary forces and Jharkhand Police. According to the Superintendent of Police in Ranchi, Praveen Kumar, the initiative is sure to break the local support base of the Maoists, who recruit a large number of local youth every year. "Our main concentration was rural areas. Because we know that those living in big cities will get this opportunity anytime because of their geographical location. But those living in villages don't even have access to newspapers and basic information. There are many unemployed youth who are school dropouts and are idle. They do not even try or don't have the right channel to do anything," Kumar said, adding, “According to my personal observation, all this has created a furore among the Maoists because they are aware that this initiative would lead to eradication of their local support base."
