Officials said five battalions of the Sino-India border guarding force will soon take positions in Bastar, Narayanpur, Rajnandgaon and Kondagaon Districts of the state which have witnessed maximum violence in the recent past in the entire Left Wing Extremism (LWE) hit areas of the country.

In a bid to arrest fast erosion of their base following the recent surrender of a large number of cadres in Chhattisgarh’s Bastar, a Maoist stronghold, Naxals [Left Wing Extremists, LWEs] are planning to abduct VIPs to bargain release of jailed cadres, intelligence has warned, reports The Asian Age. “Maoists [Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist)] are clearly on the back foot after surrender of over 4000 Naxal cadres including over a dozen senior leaders in Bastar in the past several months. The development has not only demoralised the rank and file of the rebels but also threatened to shrink Maoists’ base in Bastar. Hence, the rebel leadership has decided to abduct VIPs such as local Superintendents of Police and District collectors and use them as a bargaining chip to negotiate release of Naxals incarcerated in different jails in the state”, intelligence sources told The Asian Age in Raipur. “What worried most the Maoist leadership was that the surrendered Naxals might lead the police to hideouts of rebel leaders in Maoist strongholds in Bastar,” State Intelligence Bureau (SIB) said.

CM Patnaik said this while replying to a debate in the Assembly and claimed Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist) activities have gone down in the 11 districts of Jajpur, Dhenkanal, Gajapati, Ganjam, Nabarangpur, Keonjhar, Mayurbhanj, Sambalpur, Deogarh, Sundergarh and Nayagarh, despite the CPI-Maoist efforts to re-group in these areas. "The position continues to remain challenging in the districts of Malkangiri, Koraput and Nuapada," he added. He further said in order to improve mobile connectivity in the Maoist affected areas, 253 locations have been identified for setting up new mobile towers.
