Suspected Naxalites [Left Wing Extremists (LWEs)], apparently belonging to a newly formed outfit, raided a road construction site, thrashed workers and set ablaze four SUVs in Keredari in Hazaribagh District on December 2,reports The Telegraph. Police said the attack was aimed at intimidating and extorting money from the management of ECI Company, which has been engaged by the State Highways Authority for the renovation of 117 kilometres-long Hazaribagh-Bijupada road at a cost of INR 4.41 billion. Sources said around 15 armed Naxalites of newly formed Jharkhand Kranti Raksha Dal (JKRD) (Utari Chhotanagpur) stormed into the ECI camp at Damhabagi village in Keredari block, some 52 kilometres from Hazaribagh District headquarters, around 2am. The extremists took three workers at gunpoint and then beat them up badly. They warned them against working on the project and set four vehicles on fire. The suspected extremists left behind a pamphlet, wherein one Amit ji claimed responsibility for the attack, and disappeared into Keredari forests. Local sources said of late, Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist) cadres and their breakaway factions had been on the back foot in the face of sustained Police patrol in the area. There hadn't been any big crime here in recent past, they claimed. So, the raid was basically a handiwork of a local gang, which wanted to terrorise the agency officials in the garb of a new rebel outfit. Hazaribagh, Superintendent of Police (SP), Bhimsen Tuti visited the spot to take stock of the situation and spoke to the workers. "Preliminary probe hints at involvement of a criminal gang, and police have identified some of its members. Raids are on and all of them will be arrested soon," the SP added.

The Deputy Commissioner (DC) of Palamu District Ameet Kumar said on December 6 that Naxals [Left Wing Extremist (LWE)] require ‘counselling’ for making them detached from violence and gun culture reports The Pioneer. Addressing in a Janta Darbar at heavily Naxal infested Chak Village of Manatu Block of of Palamu District, the DC admitted that area has serious problem in hands. Moreover locals were of view that counselling to naxals is a good idea and in this job civil society activist should come forward but asking naxals to shun violence and stop using ‘bandook’ (gun) to gain ‘haque’ (right) on their naxal hit soil is no easy thing to do. DC made this appeal to the naxals when his district Agricultural Officer had offered 300 farmers each 10 kilograms of free wheat seed. Farmers had to assure that they had three times ‘patwan’ (irrigating) facility with them. The farmers on hearing these freebies in the shape of seed of wheat at once dashed towards the stall of the agricultural department.

Aiming to improve telecom network in 10Naxal [Left Wing Extremist (LWE)]-affected States, the Centre plans to install 2,700 additional mobile towers in these areas, reports India Today on December 21. The proposed 2,700 mobile towers will be installed in addition to the 2,199 towers recently installed in some of the worst Naxal-hit regions. "A proposal is being mooted for setting up of the new 2,700 mobile towers and we hope that the Union Cabinet will soon give its nod to it," a senior Government official said. The exact cost of the entire endeavour is not immediately known but the expenses will be borne by the Universal Service Obligation Fund (USOF) of the Department of Telecommunications (DoT). The towers will strengthen the telecom network resulting in increased mobile penetration in LWE-affected and other areas facing security challenges.106 Districts across 10 States have been identified by the Government as Naxal-affected. The States are: Andhra Pradesh, Bihar, Chhattisgarh, Jharkhand, Maharashtra, Madhya Pradesh, Odisha, Telangana, Uttar Pradesh and West Bengal.

Poachers in Madhya Pradesh have an easy access to explosives of Naxals [Left Wing Extremist (LWEs)] in Balaghat and Seoni District, reports Times of India on December 26, 2016 .They have been using on a regular basis to kill endangered and protected species of wild animals The shocker of surfaced during interrogation of members of a poaching syndicate, who have been arrested for killing three tigers, four leopards and 200 wild boars from forest areas of the state for witchcraft and consumption. The arrests were made in a joint operation by Madhya Pradesh Special Task Force (MPSTF) (forest) and sleuths from Balaghat and Seoni forest circles with the help of local Police. Officials seized 20 crude bombs from the possession of syndicate members. Crude bombs include explosive material laced with meat and rolled into balls, a bite of which can be fatal for a tiger or any other big cat. After three weeks of intense investigations, officials concluded poachers laced meat with explosives."Explosives are wrapped like a ball with thick paper and covered in intestine meat of a buffalo or a goat. Smell of meat attracts boars and other wild animals. When they bite, bomb explodes in their mouth killing them on the spot," said an official. These bombs were used for killing wild boars only, said the officer, adding they were getting black powder from core Naxal-hit areas.STF officials said Police have been informed about Naxal angle behind poaching syndicate. "We have got separate cases registered against these accused under the Explosives Act," said the officer. In all, 46 people have been arrested in eight cases so far.

Security Forces (SFs) also recovered three land mines (each weighing between 2-2.5 Kilograms), a JPC letter pad and Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist) literature from the cadres. Police said the duo was involved in at least 17 cases of levy collection, loot, dacoity and murders in Hazaribag and Chatra Districts. Ganju carried a reward of INR 500,000 on his head, Police added. "Based on inputs that the two accused were planning to meet some local youths in Dhawaiya forests area, we arrested them," Superintendent of Police(SP), Abhishek B Variar said. The SP added that the arrest was considered to be a big achievement as the accused revealed valuable information on Naxals [Left Wing Extremists (LWEs)] activities. "The duo was nabbed while they were delivering a speech to lure villagers in their group. At least 25-30 youths managed to escape in the dark", Sariya-BagodarSub-Divisional Police Officer(SDPO), Deepak Kumar Sharma said. "During investigation, Ganju, said they were planning to expand their base in Giridih.

Telangana’s Law Enforcement has received an intelligence input which has given them even more cause to be vigilant in Naxal [Left Wing Extremist (LWE)]-affected areas on December 26, reports New Indian Express. A Special Wing of State Police Headquarters would closely track the bullet proof vehicles of Superintendents of Police (SPs) through Global Positioning System (GPS). Personal Security Officers (PSOs) would be posted round the clock to the offices and residences of the SPs. What’s more, before visiting any interior places of the district, the SPs shall now have to communicate the tour schedule to the headquarters and submit a preliminary report to the state headquarters after finishing the tour. This is all part of the enhanced security measures to the SPs and SP rank officers working in Naxal affected districts in the state. Following the major encounter on the Andhra-Odisha-Border (AOB) in which 31 Maoists were killed, the Telangana Police officials have decided to enhance security given to SPs and their family members. Sources told New Indian Express that the higher officials are understood to have taken the decision to provide greater security to the SPs working in nearly six to ten districts of the state.In a meeting held recently, the higher officials have reviewed the Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist) activities in Telangana after the AOB encounter. The Counter Intelligence Cell (CIC) and State Intelligence Bureau (SIB) officials have reviewed the reportedly tense circumstances prevailing in districts affected by CPI-Maoist activities. People living in these places are still being influenced by the ideology of Left wing extremism outfits and the Police believe there is a cause of concern. “Additional forces would be placed round the clock at the SP’s offices and residences as a preventive measure in the wake of Malkangiri encounter,’’ a senior officer said. Higher officials have obtained inputs from the intelligence wing in connection with the LWE activities and its impact on the maintenance of law and order. Based on the Intelligence inputs, special security will be provided to SPs in Naxal affected areas.

The Bastar Police arrested seven people from Andhra Pradesh inside the Chhattisgarh border in Sukma District and claimed that they belonged to Intellectual Wings of the Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist) outfits on December 26, reports Hindustan Times. Police said they seized four motorcycles they were riding, demonetized currency with face value of INR 100,000, mobile phones and CPI-Maoist literature from their possession. All the arrested people were presented before a court after registering an FIR at Konta Police Station of Sukma District. The court sent them to judicial custody. “The accused were found with old currency notes and some important Naxal [Left Wing Extremists (LWEs)]-related documents. They were arrested and booked and were produced in court,” said Indira Kalyan Elesela, Superintendent of Police(SP) of Sukma said. Elesela said those arrested included social activist Durga Prasad (36) of Hyderabad, R. Laxmaiyya (45), Secretary of Adivasi Tudem Dubba, Khammam, journalists B. Prabhakar Rao (52) and Rajendra Prasad (28) from Hyderabad, High Court advocates Ch Prabhakar Rao (48) and B. Ravindra Nath (42) Hyderabad and Mohammad Nazim (27), research scholar Osmania University. One of the arrested people - Ch. Prabhakar said the Police action was unwarranted because they were only civilians. Police claimed that both the journalists used to instigate the people while the advocates had enlarged support to the CPI-Maoists in encounters and the research scholar was propagating CPI-Maoist line of thinking. The seven men were booked under the Chhattisgarh Public Security Act (CSPA). The accused claimed they were rights activists on a fact-finding mission related to encounters and atrocities in Maoist-affected areas of Telangana and Chhattisgarh. Civil rights activists have slammed the Police for the arrest. “They left Hyderabad on December 24 and were detained on December 25 in Telangana. Later, Telangana Police handed over the team members to Chhattisgarh Police. They were human right activists and the citizen of India and the charges framed against them are unconstitutional,” said N Narayandeo, General Secretary of Civil Liberties Committee (CLC), Telangana. He said the committee has called for a massive protest on December 27 in Hyderabad.

Kodagu District in-charge Minister M R Seetharam told reporters on December 30 that Police reports clearly point to infiltration of Naxals into tribal pockets. Terror elements from Kerala too have joined them. These groups are instigating tribals in Kodagu District against moving out of the forests.

Director-General of Police (DGP), N. Sambasiva Rao has said that the Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist)’s Under Ground (UGs) cadres has come down to all-time low in Andhra Pradesh, which was once a stronghold for the Naxalite [Left Wing Extremism (LWE)] movement in Vijayawada at Krishna District on December 31, reports The Hindu. “The Left Wing Extremism (LWE) ideology is losing relevance and the Andhra Pradesh Police has succeeded in controlling Naxalite activities in the State,” the DGP claimed in the year-ender press conference. According to DGP, Rao, 105 underground cadres of Naxals were operating in the State, of whom 45 are from Andhra Pradesh and 60 from outside. As many as 14 naxal-related incidents had been reported in the State this year as against 25 in 2015. “Naxalite movements are continuing in Visakhapatnam Rural, East Godavari and Vizianagaram Districts. But in Visakhapatnam Rural District, naxal activities were controlled well,” Rao said appreciating the Police for taking initiatives such as skill development programmes, sports and other activities. “During our tenure as Superintendents of Police (SPs) in the State, naxal movement used to be very high and many police personnel lost their lives in the fight against then People’s War Group (PWG). Due to the efforts of the Government, LWE has been controlled and tribal youth are not getting attracted towards Naxalism,” the DGP recalled. PWG is also known as Communist Party of India–Marxist-Leninist, (CPI-ML)

Prime Minister (PM) Narendra Modi on December 31 said that terrorism and Naxalism [Left Wing Extremism (LWE)] which were heavily reliant on black money had been effectively neutralised thorough the Government’s demonetisation drive, reports The Indian Express. In his 43-minute address to the nation, he said “Terror, Naxalism, etc rely on black money. This one decision has attacked them. Many youth are shunning violence. We can prevent our children from joining the path of violence. The money that was outside the economic mainstream is back.” Thanking bank officials for working hard during demonetisation process, Prime Minister Modi said the decision will force the corrupt and black money hoarders to come into the economic mainstream.
