PTI reports that seven Naxalites (left-wing extremists) were arrested on September 3 after the Police overpowered them following an encounter at Matoli village in the Garwah District, Police said. "During the two-hour gun-battle with the Naxalites of the Trititya Prastui Committee (TPC), 200 rounds were fired from both sides. There was no casualty on either side," said Superintendent of Police (SP) Saket Kumar Singh. Getting a tip-off that a group of TPC activists had congregated near the village, the Police team rushed to the spot around 4pm (IST), triggering the exchange of firing. 11 guns were recovered from their possession, the SP said. The TPC, a breakaway group of the Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist), has been engaged in extortion and loot in the area, the SP said.

For the first time through banners and posters, CPI-Maoist threatened the teachers working in schools in remote areas of Malkangiri District. They intimidated the teachers to face their wrath if the Paramilitary Forces involved in anti-Naxal operations camped in their schools. Through their posters, the CPI-Maoist cadres also opposed the establishment of Cobra Battalion in Koraput District. To create a support base in remote areas of the District, Maoists also expressed their support to the demand of Konda Reddy community to be included in the Scheduled Tribe (ST) list of Orissa.

An immediate grant of INR 150, 000, monthly stipends during training and even monetary incentives for surrender of weapons are all there for the asking for the banned Naxals (left wing extremists) under a surrender-cum-rehabilitation policy approved by the Union Government on September 7, according to Times of India. An immediate grant of INR 150, 000 shall be kept in a bank in the name of surrendered extremist as a fixed deposit which may be withdrawn by him or her after completion of three years, subject to good behaviour to be certified by the authorities designated for this purpose by the States concerned. This money can also be utilised as collateral security/margin money against loans to be availed of by the surrendered extremist from any bank for self-employment. Persons eligible under the scheme may be imparted training in a trade/vocation of their liking or befitting their aptitude. They shall be paid a monthly stipend of INR 2,000 each for a maximum period of 36 months. However, if the surrendered extremist secures any employment in Government or any gainful self-employment, the monthly stipend will be discontinued. The Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA) has also offered money incentives for surrender of weapons which include INR 15,000 for depositing one AK 47 or AK 56 or AK 74 Rifle. INR 25,000 will be given for each RPG/Sniper rifle, INR 3,000 for one Pistol/Revolver, INR 1,000 for a rocket, INR 3,000 for a Remote Control Device, INR 1,000 for IED, INR 3,000 for one mine, INR 20,000 for a SAM Missile and INR 10,000 for a Satellite Phone. The guidelines are applicable to those Naxals who surrender with or without arms. The policy for the Naxal-hit States announced was evolved by the MHA as part of a multi-pronged strategy to bring the extremists back into the mainstream in the backdrop of rising Naxal violence.

The Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF) will soon have its own intelligence wing, Hindustan Times reported on September 7. “We have started the process,” said A.S. Gill, the CRPF Director-General, confirming the decision. The force will have 10 intelligence officers per battalion, attached to 150 of its battalions. The CRPF currently relies on State and Central agencies for intelligence inputs. The Home Ministry has also approved a proposal to add 38 new battalions to the force. In the revamp planned, the CRPF, which earlier worked to supplement the State Police and took directions from the latter, will now do so at an equal footing with the State Police in the Naxalite (left wing extremist) dominated States. “A coordinated offensive is needed to clear the areas where left wing extremists have built their bases,” said Gill.

Three Naxalites (left wing extremists) of the Jharkhand Prastuti Committee (JPC), a breakaway faction of the Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist), were arrested after an encounter with the Police at Churugarha, about 70 kilometers from Ranchi, the Police said on September 8, reported PTI. The Police reached the spot after getting a tip-off that a group of JPC cadres had assembled at Churugarha to plot a crime in the night of September 7. The JPC cadres started firing as soon as they spotted the Police, triggering a two-hour long gun-battle before the Naxalites tried to flee. The police, however, chased and arrested three of them. Three rifles and some ammunition were seized from their possession, Senior Superintendent of Police Praveen Kumar said. Over 150 bullets were fired by both the sides, he added and claimed that some of the Naxalites had suffered bullet wounds, but they managed to escape. “One of the three arrested Naxalites, identified as Raj Kumar Ganju, is a big catch for the police,” he added further. Ganju was allegedly involved in a number of cases.

intelligence sources said that a large number of armed Naxalites (left wing extremists) have taken shelter in the Ghatshila sub-division. The Naxalites, reportedly from West Bengal and Andhra Pradesh, have assembled on the hills of Ghurabandha to attend a training camp in Jamshedpur. According to intelligence inputs, about 80 armed extremists were taking shelter at Pawadapahar, which is strategically located and is also considered a safe haven for Naxalites. Talking to Telegraph, the intelligence sources said that the Naxalite squads already have teams operating in Ghurabandha. “Two armed squads, led by Putu Munda and Kanhu Munda, operate in Ghurabandha. The strength of both squads is not more than 18. But those gathered at Pawadapahar are about 80 in number,” said a source. Intelligence reportedly alerted the District police about their presence. A week ago, the Police neutralised a training camp by conducting a special operation at Karlabera forest, under the jurisdiction of the Ghurabandha Police station. The Police team, led by East Singhbhum District Superintendent of Police Naveen Kumar Singh, had a fierce encounter with the extremists, who had set up five watch-towers and thatched houses to live in. The spot where the Naxalites have gathered is about two kilometres to the north-west of Karlabera. Some suspect that the extremists may have also sneaked into Pawadapahar from the Gorumahisani Police station area of bordering Mayurbhanj District in the State of Orissa. “Several maybe new recruits. But their frequent visits have made the area more sensitive,” said the intelligence source, who, claimed to have intimated the Police about heightened Naxalite activities in the Ghatshila sub-division and also in the Dalma region.

The Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist) is forging ties with insurgents in the northeast to increase their sphere of influence, Union Home Minister P. Chidambaram said on September 14 while underlining that Maoist violence in the country was on the rise, reports IANS. "In a bid to expand its influence it (Communist Party of India-Maoist) has been seeking alliance with secessionists and northeast insurgents... it is also lending support to their secessionist demands," Chidambaram said while inaugurating a three-day conference of Directors General and Inspectors General of Police organised by the Intelligence Bureau in New Delhi. Besides a marked increase in the violence spurred by the Maoists, the "greater sophistication" in the attacks to inflict greater damage was also of concern. "(The) Communist Party of India-Maoist besides targeting police, police informers and inimical forces is laying greater emphasis on targeting infrastructure like roads, bridges," Chidambaram said. The Home Minister spelt out the priority areas in the next five years -- a modern police act, mega city policing, upgradation of forensic science laboratory and prison reforms. The Telegraph quoted Chidambaram as saying, “The CPI (Maoist) has been keenly seeking ideological resonance and tactical understanding with Northeast insurgents and have begun to lend support to their secessionist ideology and demands.” The Home Minister said that the left wing extremism purports to be a radical form of communism and today, various groups adhering to this outdated ideology have their pockets of influence in 20 states across the country, adds Indian Express. "Over 2,000 Police station areas in 223 Districts in these States are partially or substantially affected by the menace," he added. Chidambaram said violence, the most visible aspect of Naxal menace, has been consistently witnessed in about 200 Police station areas of around 90 Districts in 13 States of these States. "Last year, a total of 1,591 incidents of Naxalite violence resulting in 721 killings were reported from 299 Police station areas of 87 Districts of 13 States," the Home Minister said adding this year 1,405 incidents of Naxal violence resulting in 580 killings have already been reported (upto August 27) from 355 Police stations in 78 districts in 11 states. He said the CPI-Maoist has also improved upon its military wares and operational tactics. Besides targeting the Police, alleged Police informers and so-called class enemies, it is laying greater emphasis on attacking economic and development infrastructure such as roads, bridges, railways, power and telecommunication networks, he said. "With increasing sophistication in fabrication and deployment of Improvised Explosive Devices (IEDs), it has inflicted more casualties on the Security Forces," he said. As many as 80 Security Force personnel were killed in 53 landmine-based attacks by the CPI-Maoists in 2008, 123 Security Force personnel have lost their lives so far in 61 landmine-based Maoist actions this year. Altogether, 231 Security Force personnel were killed in Naxal violence in 2008 while 250 Security Force personnel have lost their lives this year, he said.

Admitting that the Government had "not achieved much success" in containing left wing extremism, which he described as the "gravest internal security threat", Prime Minister (PM) Manmohan Singh pointed to the increasing influence of the Naxalites (left wing extremists) in vast swathes of India, reports Times of India. Addressing the annual conference of Directors-General and Inspectors-General of Police on the second day of the three-day event in New Delhi on September 15 he said, "I have consistently held that left wing extremism is, perhaps, the gravest internal security threat we face. We have not achieved as much success as we would have liked in containing it. It is a matter of concern that despite our efforts, the level of violence in the affected states continues to rise." "As I have stated before, dealing with left wing extremism requires a nuanced strategy - it cannot be treated simply as a law and order problem. Despite its sanguinary nature, the movement manages to retain the support of a section of the tribals and the poorest of the poor in many areas. It has influence among sizeable sections of civil society, the intelligentsia and the youth. It still retains a certain elan. All this adds to the complexity of the problem. I expect you to keep this in mind as you devise newer and better strategies to deal with the problem," the PM added. Unveiling his vision of a “new-age” Policeman who was more professional, better-motivated, suitably empowered and well-trained, the PM said such a Policeman would place greater emphasis on technology for investigation and other tasks, adds The Hindu. “Emphasis should be on capacity building from the Police station level itself, so that the Police is better equipped.” The Central and State Governments should take quick action to strengthen policing at the grass roots. The country needed a far higher number of Policemen to improve the present low ratio of 145 Policemen per lakh people. As a first move, urgent steps should be taken to fill the large number of vacancies at various levels, he said. “Each police station should aim at being self-sufficient and needs to be given the required resources in terms of anti-riot gear, better weapons, the nucleus of a mobile forensic unit and be connected to a networked criminal database management system.” The Prime Minister wanted every city to have a modern Police control room with digitised maps and said this could be done only by modernising the force. Emphasising the critical importance of training for policemen, he said that on average an officer was retrained only once in about 20 years. This was totally inadequate and must be rectified.

The Central Government is considering an amendment to the Land Acquisition Act to stop State Governments from acquiring land for private projects in the country’s 90 Districts worst hit by Naxal (left wing extremism) violence, according to South Asian Observer. Violent backlashes in Singur, Nandigram and Lalgarh areas of West Bengal since 2007 over land acquisition by the State Government for private sector projects apparently led to the change in Government thinking. An expert group, headed by Chief Secretary K. M. Chandrasekhar, made it clear that land in the Naxal-affected areas could be acquired by the Government only for public welfare and national security. “The proposals need to be further revised to minimise displacement of people and secure the rights of the displaced,” the group said in its report. Although most of Naxal-affected districts are tribal-dominated areas, the present law does not restrict the Government from acquiring land for private investment.

The State Government alleged that the Centre had never provided it with adequate Central Para-Military Force (CPMF) and other logistics to fight insurgency. The State Government’s requests for more Central Force to tackle Naxal violence and other problems were never met, Chief Minister Naveen Patnaik told media persons in Bhubaneswar while reacting to allegation of inaction in meaningfully tackling Maoist menace.

According to the report, the SF personnel raided a Maoist camp located at Palachalam, 600 kilometres south of State capital Raipur, under Kisteram Police station area in the evening of September 17. Additional Director General of Police Girdhari Nayak said that the SF personnel surrounded the area from all corners and then attacked the camp. The extremists retaliated and a gun battle ensued. Nayak added that 10 dead bodies of the extremist were recovered and the SF personnel destroyed an arms factory being run at the hideout.

Taking the fight against left wing extremism to a new frontier, the Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA) has sought to actively involve the print media directly by issuing advertisements depicting “cold-blooded killings” of innocent citizens by Naxalites (left wing extremists), The Hindu reports. The first in a series of advertisements appeared in all national dailies on September 20 which carried seven photographs of innocent women, men and children who were killed by Naxals over the past three years. In a bid to silence criticism regarding the authenticity and credibility of these photographs, all the victims have been identified and their villages and dates of killings have also been mentioned. The advertisements carry the tagline “Naxals are nothing, but cold-blooded murderers.” “These ads are an attempt to show to the newspaper readers who are more aware than others that Naxals are not wedded to any lofty ideology but carry out such killings in a routine manner to instil fear among people and terrorise them,” Home Ministry spokesperson Onkar Kedia said. “More such advertisements will be issued in all regional newspapers in the days to come. Senior officials of the Home Ministry have also previewed 25-minute-long films made on Naxalism and tribals and as part of the new strategy, these will be exhibited by the national network of Doordarshan and other electronic media,” the spokesperson said. The advertisements also mark a departure from the Government’s stand that Naxals were “misguided elements” who needed to be lured back into national mainstream. The advertisements were issued after Union Home Minister P. Chidambaram had a series of discussions with senior officials of his Ministry on thrashing out a new “media policy” to deal with the gravest danger to internal security.

A newly floated armed extremist outfit, Shashtra Kranti Committee (SKC), raided a railway construction site in the Chatra District in the night of September 23 and set ablaze equipments worth more than a crore, reports Telegraph. A Calcutta (West Bengal)-based firm, Khazana Construction Company, has been entrusted with the task of laying railway tracks at Kahalari Pilara in the Simaria area of the District. Around 10pm (IST), a group of six gun-wielding men surrounded the site and asked employees to cease work. When the manager Hem Yadav protested, they overpowered him and tied his hands. Five workers were held at gunpoint. The extremists then emptied the petrol tank of a machine at the construction site and set ablaze several other equipments worth INR 1.25 crore. Before Escaping, they issued a warning and said no construction work should be carried on at the site without the permission of the SKC. The Superintendent of Police (SP) Narendra Kumar Singh said, “We have registered a complaint on the basis of company manager Hem Yadav’s statement. Raids are on to nab the culprits.” Villagers, meanwhile, said that the newly formed SKC had recently launched a poster campaign in Simaria. The messages warned local residents against paying levy to other extremist organisations operating in the area. The Hindu, however, quoted Police sources as saying that suspected Naxalites set ablaze several vehicles of a construction company on the border of Chatra and Hazaribagh Districts. Around 12 suspected activists of the newly formed Jharkhand Sanyukt Party, a Naxalite group, set ablaze three trucks and an identical number of earth movers at a place under Simaria Police station in the Chatra District in the night of September 23, the SP said.

The Prime Minister's emphasis on twin-approach to address Naxal problem came a day after Home Minister P Chidambaram declared that the Army would not be used in fight against Naxals.

Visiting Naxalite (left wing extremist)-affected States, Chhattisgarh and Jharkhand, the Union Home Minister P. Chidambaram said on September 25 that the Army would not be involved in the offensive against Naxals, The Hindu reports. "There is no proposal to involve the Army in the anti-Naxal operations," said Chidambaram, who was in Ranchi to review the security situation in Jharkhand. He said it was a matter of concern that Jharkhand had become the "epicentre of left-wing extremism" along with Chhattisgarh. "Left-wing extremism is the gravest challenge to our way of life, our republic and our democracy," he said. "Our policy on left-wing extremism is very clear. There is no place for violence or so-called armed struggle for liberation in a republican, democratic form of government. They believe in armed liberation struggle. We reject that argument. So long any one indulges in violence, the State has to oppose and fight the group," he added. He said the Centre had made it clear at the recent Chief Ministers’ Conference in New Delhi that the so-called armed liberation struggle was unacceptable, and the Police would act against it. The Home Minister also said that Naxalites penetration into civil society is a serious impediment to anti-Naxal operations, adds Times of India. "But his would not stop the Government from taking action against the Maoists,'' he added. In reply to queries of media persons, Chidambaram said action would be taken against any politician found sheltering or patronising Naxalites. Naming Jharkhand and Chhattisgarh as the epicentres of Maoist activities, he said the menace, however, was restricted to six or seven Districts in Orissa. "Jharkhand and Chhattisgarh are a major cause of concern in this regard even though the Governments have been able to rein in ultra-leftists to a great extent,'' he said, and added the Centre will provide full support, including adequate companies of para-military forces, to these States to fight the Naxalites. Chidambaram also said that fight against left-wing extremism would be a "long-drawn" fight. "It is a long drawn fight against Naxals (Maoists). The centre is totally supporting Chhattisgarh in its efforts to counter left wing extremism," he told reporters.
