Telegraph adds that Union Home Minister clarified that States should formulate a surrender policy for Maoists, who would, however, be rehabilitated by the Centre once they want to join social mainstream. “A national policy is not the need of the hour. A policy evolved by the State, keeping the requirements of its own geographical area in mind, often proves more effective as it is in the case of Andhra Pradesh,” he said. Chidambaram also said that 145 Police Stations in the State were Naxalite (left-wing extremism) affected and over 25 blocks did not have Police Stations. Further, PTI adds that Chidambaram said he would talk to the West Bengal Government for an inter-State joint operation to curb ultra-Left extremism. "West Bengal does not agree with the hot pursuit policy. So it conducts its operation in its territory and Jharkhand conducts operations in its own area, which cannot be called a joint operation. But I have taken up the matter and will speak to the West Bengal government," Chidambaram said at a press conference at Governor’s House.

The Maharashtra Home Minister Jayant Patil said the attack was pre-planned. “There is strong possibility of Naxals moving out to neighbouring States. We sent reinforcement after learning about the attack. We had summoned a helicopter from Chhattisgarh as well.” The Maharashtra Minister of State for Home Nitin Raut said, ''Not satisfied with killing the cops, the Maoists also placed explosives on the bodies of dead cops. They also took away the weapons.''

During his visit to the Gadchiroli District, the Maharashtra Chief Minister Ashok Chavan said on February 2, "The (Naxal) problem is confined to border areas of Maharashtra and that is why we are formally talking with Chhattisgarh and Andhra Pradesh to launch a joint operation against Naxalism (left-wing extremism). Cooperation from neighbouring States is important considering the inter-State movement of the Naxalites," The Hindu reported.

At a review meeting on February 5 of the Director General of Police (DGP) of four left-wing extremist affected States - Chhattisgarh, Orissa, Andhra Pradesh and Maharashtra - which was chaired by the Special Secretary (Internal Security) Raman Srivastava, the Union Government asked these States to work out their estimates of the Central forces reinforcements needed to undertake the planned and time co-ordinated assault on the extremists, Economic Times reported. The other affected States of Jharkhand, Bihar, Uttar Pradesh and West Bengal will also give their inputs in this regard, added the report. A questionnaire has been circulated to all States seeking information on various counts like the strength of their respective Police force, need for additional weapons, extent of Central forces engaged in anti-Maoist operations, geographical details of Maoist-infested pockets and other requirements of men and material for fighting the extremists. The States would, in the coming days, map the Maoist pocket boroughs and, based upon it, indicate the number of additional Central forces they would require to simultaneously launch operations. At the review meeting, Srivastava offered all help to the four States in fighting the Naxalites, including more Border Security Force deployment as well as helicopters. Among the States, Maharashtra and Orissa reportedly asked for more forces for fighting the Maoists.

Times of India reported on February 6 that the Union Government is planning to invest nearly INR 10 billion to revamp the crumbling road network in the extremist affected States. According to Government sources, since private players are reluctant to execute such projects considering security threats, money was being arranged to execute road projects under the Government agencies. Officials said the Union Ministry of Finance and the Planning Commission had indicated to the Road Transport and Highways Ministry that around INR 5 billion would be made available in the vote-on-account to construct roads in the seven extremist-affected States — Andhra Pradesh, Bihar, Jharkhand, Orissa, Madhya Pradesh, Chhattisgarh and Maharashtra. An official said with this, the total allocation for road construction will touch INR 10 billion as INR 5 billion has been made available for the purpose through stimulus packages announced by the Centre.

While perusing the Action Taken Report (ATR) filed by the Chhattisgarh Government, the Supreme Court said on February 5 that the Government cannot arm common men or those associated with the Salwa Judum (anti-Maoist vigilante movement) to curb violence perpetrated by the Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist), Times of India reported. "We do not underestimate the enormity of the problem (Naxalism). But State should not encourage the common man by arming them to fight Naxalites (left-wing extremists)," a Bench comprising Chief Justice K. G. Balakrishnan and Justice P. Sathasivam observed. The Bench said, "...arming common men will create a dangerous situation... unless legal powers are vested, you can't arm people. Common men are under dilemma whether to support the Government or Naxalites." The Bench was of the view that instead of arming common men, the State Governments should properly utilise the funds granted to them under schemes sponsored by the Centre for the economic upliftment of the villagers and tribals.

On February 9, the State Government allocated INR 9.41 billion, a hike of 22 percent from the 2008 allocation, for the modernization of the Police force to tackle the threat posed by the Communist Party of India-Maoist, reports IANS. “The Government is committed to combat Maoist or Naxalite (left-wing extremists) violence. The steep budgetary hike of 22 percent for the Police is made with special focus on security related infrastructure needs in the worst affected District of Bijapur and Dantewada,” said Chef Minister Raman Singh after presenting the budget in the State Legislative Assembly. “Now the cops strength at each Police outpost will go up to 27 as against the earlier figure of just eight and at Police Stations the number will touch 65 as against the existing set up of 32,” he added.

Chief Minister Raman Singh has asked the Maoists to shun the path of violence and come forward for talks, PTI reports. "The channel of talks was never shut. We have been asking Naxalites (left-wing extremists) to shun the path of violence and come forward for talks. Now, as there was a reported talk offer by them, the Government is ready to reciprocate," Singh said, adding, "I have no objection to anybody mediating in the talks. It will be the Government officials, may be the Director General of Police who could represent the Government at the initial level of talk, if at all it happens, so that we could measure the real intention of the Naxalites. If anything positive comes out from this, then the political class would be involved in the talk."

Express Buzz.com quoting the State intelligence sources on February 21 reported that in the backdrop of the launching of security operations to flush out left-wing extremists from Maharashtra, Chhattisgarh, Orissa and Andhra Pradesh, the extremists have penetrated into the rural areas of Kerala in the guise of small time labourers. According to the sources, the decision of the Union Minister for Home Affairs, P. Chidambaram, to carry out a single joint operation to flush out the extremists had forced them to take refuge in the neighbouring States like Kerala. “Earlier, Naxal (left-wing extremists) activities had been reported in the thick forests of the Western Ghats bordering Kerala, Tamil Nadu and Karnataka. But with the Police intensifying combing and monitoring in these parts, the Naxals have started to settle in labour-intensive rural areas in the State,” said an official of the State intelligence. Sources said that there were reports that Kunnathunadu taluk (revenue unit) in the Ernakulam District had been attracting the insurgents as a perfect hideout because of the huge number of sawmills and quarries.

On February 24, Livemint.com reports that Rajiv Gandhi Grameen Vidyutikaran Yojana (RGGVY), a programme lunched in 2005 as a part of the Bharat Nirman project (project to develop rural infrastructure), to provide electricity to the rural poor is facing trouble in States of Jharkhand, Bihar, Orissa and Madhya Pradesh because officials there are unwilling to travel to villages to collect data, fearing Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist) violence. According to an unnamed Union power ministry official, "These are Naxal-affected areas and these States are yet to give us the BPL (Bellow Poverty Line) list, in the absence of which nothing much can be done," adding, "While Jharkhand, Bihar and Madhya Pradesh are yet to complete the list, Orissa has a partly completed list."
