A cadre of the Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist) carrying a cash reward of INR 300,000 on his head, surrendered in Dantewada District of Chhattisgarh on November 2, reports The Times of India. The Superintendent of Police (SP), Abhishek Pallava, said, the surrendered cadre, identified as Baman Mandavi (26) turned himself in before the Police, citing disappointment with the Maoist ideology and exploitation of lower-ranking cadres by senior Naxalite [Left Wing Extremist, LWE] leaders. Mandavi was a ‘section commander’ of ‘platoon number 26’ under Katekalyan Area Committee of Maoists. He had joined the CPI-Maoist in 2010, as a lower rank member, and was instrumental in carrying out several attacks on Security Forces (SFs) in Sukma and the Dantewada District of the State, the SP said adding that Mandavi was involved in the 2014 attack at Tahkawada village in Sukma District, where 16 CRPF personnel were killed and at Malewada in Dantewada in 2015, where seven CRPF personnel died after their vehicle was blasted with an Improvised Explosive Device (IED).

The National Investigation Agency (NIA) is on the lookout for three Left Wing Extremist (LWE) leaders, including two women, of Kabani Dalam (armed squad) of Peoples’ Liberation Guerilla Army (PLGA) of Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist), reports The New Indian Express on November 3. NIA has announced a bounty of INR 200,000 each for information on the trio in the case pertaining to an armed group threatening a Police officer at his residence in Mattilayam, Wayanad, on April 2014.

Chhattisgarh Governor Anusuiya Uikey said she would like to see the surrendered cadres of Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist) integrated with the mainstream, following which surrendered Maoist cadres of the State wanted an interaction with the Governor, reports The New Indian Express on November 4. As per the report, this is the first time that the State has a tribal Governor with politically rich experience. “She is interested in areas of governance and welfare related to the Fifth Scheduled Area. She even visited disturbed areas of Dantewada, Narayanpur and Bastar,” said Sonmoni Borah, Principal Secretary to the Governor. The Governor’s initiatives at ‘people-connect’ and ‘people-centric’ exercises, are being now popularly cited, helping change the perception and break the stereotype of the Raj Bhawan being just a ‘symbol of power’ and at best of times, and ‘unapproachable’. “The Governor met 126 Maoists who had surrendered during the last seven years in Dantewada. She was forthright in discussing with them issues related to the CPI-Maoist and their immediate concerns. She discussed the surrender and rehabilitation policy that can be implemented much more effectively to encourage other armed rebels to lay down their arms,” Abhishek Pallava, the superintendent of Police (SP) of Dantewada District said. Her interaction with surrendered rebels resulted in many them joining the Dantewada Police Force as Danteshwari Fighters (women commandos) to take on Left Wing Extremism (LWE). Uikey also promised the surrendered Maoists that she will take up their cause with the Union Ministry of Home Affairs (UMHA) and secure the necessary support for them.

A woman cadre of Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist) surrendered before Police along with her two-month-old daughter in Rayagada District of Odisha on November 7, reports The Pioneer. The 27-year-old Parvati alias Rinki, a resident of Bijapur of Chhattisgarh, who was carrying a cash reward of INR 100,000 on her head, was a member of the Indravati Dalam (armed squad) and Ghumusar Dalam of Bansadhara-Ghumusar-Nagavali (BGN) Division of the CPI-Maoist. In her statement, Rinki alleged that the other Maoists abandoned her in a forest when she became pregnant. She further said that she chose to break her eight-year-long association with the Maoist movement after she realised that the Red rebels neither do anything good for tribals nor for their own comrades. Besides, she alleged gender discrimination by the Maoists. Police said that Rinki was involved the killing of two civilians and a District Voluntary Force (DVF) personnel in Kalahandi and Rayagada Districts in 2018 and 2019. She was also involved in three firing incidents in Rayagada and another in Kalahandi District between 2013 and 2019. A release issued by the Rayagada Police said, “Rinki was also involved in the killing of a civilian at Babupadar in Kalahandi district on July 22 this year. She was also involved in the killing of a DVF Jawan in the Muniguda police station area of Rayagada district on April 9,2018.”

Hyderabad Police Commissioner Anjani Kumar, on November 9, claimed that frontal organisations of Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist) were involved in the violence that took place during a protest march by striking employees of the Telangana State Road Transport Corporation (TSRTC) in the city, reports The News Minute. The Joint Action Committee (JAC) of employees’ unions had called for a 'Chalo Tank Bund' march as part of the ongoing strike by the TSRTC employees which entered its 36th day on November 9. Anjani Kumar claimed that besides the members of the RTC unions, some frontal organisations of Maoists and other parties were involved in stone pelting incidents at 7-8 places, causing injuries to senior Police officials including an Additional Deputy Commissioner of Police and two Assistant Commissioners of Police. He said though the Police had refused permission for the march, activists of RTC unions, and cadres from Communist Party of India-Marxist-Leninist-New Democracy (CPI-ML-New Democracy) cadres and others in large numbers tried to enter Tank Bund. Around 48,000 employees of the RTC have been on strike in Telangana for over a month now. Their key demand is to merge the TSRTC with the Government, which is being vehemently opposed by the ruling Telangana Rashtra Samithi (TRS).

The Kerala Police have recovered scripts written in Tamil and Chhattisgarhi languages and a huge haul of arms and cash from a Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist) camp, after their recent encounter with the extremists at Attappady forest in Palakkad District of Kerala, reports The New Indian Express on November 9.

The Centre (Union Government) has issued ‘shoot at sight’ orders for Security Forces (SFs), especially the Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF), deployed in Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist)-hit areas, after a ‘serious and new threat’ of drones by the Naxalites [Left Wing Extremists, LWEs] came to light, reports India.com on November 18. The development comes after drone-like objects were spotted flying over CRPF camps in Kistaram and Palodi areas in Sukma District of Chhattisgarh south Bastar region about a month ago. The directive was issued by a unified command of security and intelligence agencies at the Centre. According to reports, ‘small red and white light’ emitting drones were seen flying near the Kistaram and Palodi camps at least four times in three days last month. The drones, according to reports, drew the attention of the security personnel who took offensive position and an alert was sounded across all nearby CRPF camps, fearing Naxal trouble. “At least on three occasions, personnel have reported an unidentified object flying over the camps in the past one month. Because of its whirring sound and lights, it is suspected to be a Netra drone commonly used in weddings,” an unnamed CRPF officer said.

Two civilians, identified as Mohan Gupta, and Suraj Soni, were killed by Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist) cadres in an attack at Pipra Bazar in Palamu District of Jharkhand on November 23, reports The India Express. Two others identified as Golu and Raj Kumar Soni sustained bullet injuries in the attack. Maoist literature, including calls to boycott the Assembly polls, were recovered from the spot. Director General of Police (DGP), K N Choubey, said the Maoists opened fire in Pipra Bazar on November 23, killing Mohan Gupta, a former Maoist who had become a ‘police informer’. "Gupta left the outfit a few years ago and became our informer. He was also trying to build a career in politics. Though he was not in the fray for these polls, we believe he was supporting Akhilesh Singh Bhola, a candidate from an unrecognized party," he said. Choubey added. Local police said the Maoists reached the marketplace on two motorbikes and sprayed bullets from their AK-47s. Suraj Soni, a fruit-seller, was killed by stray bullets in the indiscriminate firing, while Golu and Raj Kumar Soni sustained injuries. In the pamphlets left behind by the Maoists at the site, the outfit's Madhya Zonal Committee asked the people to boycott the state polls. "We have seized the pamphlets, but are yet to verify the contents. Prima facie, it seems that Maoists were behind the attack," Choubey said. Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) district president Narendra Pandey said Gupta's wife Sandhya Devi is a BJP worker, but Gupta had no links with the party.

The meeting announced a three-year action plan towards creating a Naxal [Left Wing Extremist, LWE]-free India.

The Kerala Police reportedly flagged the possibility that the Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist) might have gained considerable influence in urban localities since 2016, reports The Hindu on November 26. Last week, anonymous persons had visited the quarters of plantation workers in Meppadi in Wayanad District of Kerala and distributed pamphlets demanding a minimum daily wage of INR 800 for workers. Simultaneously, the Press Club, Wayanad, received an anonymous letter stating that the Police had illegally detained a few Maoists. The Police suspect that an urban Maoist cell possibly based in Kalpetta is behind the poster campaign at Mundakkai in Meppadi and that such political units could exist in other citified localities clandestinely and behind the cover of the mainstream Left parties. They had strung up banners and distributed copies of their mouthpiece. An unnamed senior official said the Maoists appeared to draw urban youth to their cause by exuding a latter day ‘Robin Hood’ image of taking from the rich to provide for the poor.

The Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist) released a letter conveying that the Telangana Rashtra Samithi (TRS) Government continues to ignore the plea of the Adivasi communities to get rights over ‘Podu’ land in Telangana, reports The Hans India on November 28. The letter bearing the name of the ‘secretary’ of the JMWP (Jayashankar, Mahabubabad, Warangal and Peddapally) Division Committee, Venkatesh said that though the Adivasis have been in possession of ‘Podu’ lands for many years, the TRS Government is refusing to recognise their rights. Instead, the government is resorting to hit the livelihood of tribal communities by damaging the crops in the name of planting saplings under its flagship programme ‘Haritha Haram’. This apart, the Adivasis are subjected to harassment in the hands of forest and Police personnel. The letter also mentions that the TRS Government which failed to fulfill its election promises has given a free hand to people's representatives, capitalists and landlords to rob the people. The letter further said that since Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) retained power for the second successive time, it has been promoting Brahminical Hindu fascist agenda. Against this backdrop, the onus is on youth to stem the rot by joining the CPI-Maoist. The letter urged the people to join them in large numbers during the armed wing of CPI-Maoist, People's Liberation Guerrilla Army (PLGA) Week that begins from December 2.
