The Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA), on July 2, directed Central Forces and State Police personnel deployed in Naxal [Left Wing Extremism, LWE]-hit areas to make a decisive push to tackle Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist) in the limited geographical area to which they have retreated in the wake of their shrinking influence over the past five years, reports The Times of India. A review meeting chaired by home secretary Rajiv Gauba in Delhi on July 2, also decided to push for greater connectivity of Naxal-hit areas through construction of roads, which would not only offer the locals timely access to facilities like hospitals but also ensure secure movement of counter-Naxal forces. As per an assessment of security agencies shared at the review meeting, the geographical area of dominance of Left-Wing Extremists has shrunk with their cadres retreating to a narrow area, mostly trijunctions along Chhattisgarh-Odisha-Maharashtra border and Chhattisgarh-Jharkhand-Madhya Pradesh border. Also, there are inputs that the Maoists are trying to set up bases in new tri-junctions such as Kerala-Karnataka-Tamil Nadu border. The MHA had informed Lok Sabha (Lower House of the Indian Parliament) last week that Naxal violence was reported from 60 Districts across 8 States last year. In fact, two-thirds of the violent incidents were reported from 10 Districts.

The Uttar Pradesh Anti-Terrorist Squad (UP-ATS) arrested a couple on suspected links with Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist) from Shahpura Locality in Bhopal City in Bhopal District of Madhya Pradesh on July 7, reports The Week.

Unhappy with the success of Government’s Police recruitment drives over the past five years in Bastar region of Chhattisgarh, the Maoists have reportedly detained the young boys and threatened them with dire consequences in case they decide to join forces, reports News18 on July 9. According to sources, senior Maoist ‘commanders’ have been seen in several Bastar villages and are reportedly profiling the youth who have applied for the posts in Police department and are being threatened with dire consequences in case they decide to join the Police Force. In one such input, Lakhma, a ‘commander’ of Local Organisational Squad (LOS) based in Usur tehsil (revenue unit), is said to have visited several villages in South Bastar's Bijapur District with at least 30 armed guerillas. "According to information available with us, he rounded up all the boys who have studied up to 12th standard and threatened them to stay away from the recruitment drives. Those who were found to have participated in these drives last year aren't being allowed to leave their villages," a source said. Locals in Bastar have repeatedly come forward to fight the Maoists as part of Police and paramilitary formations. The all-women Danteshwari Tigers is one such recent anti-Maoist formation that consists of 30 local women, some of who are surrendered Maoists. The force has already been part of many encounters in coordination with District Reserve Guards (DRG) and Special Task Force (STF) of the Police. Bastariya battalion is another such example where battalions consisting of local men have been trained by the Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF) to fight Naxals [Left Wing Extremists, LWEs], at the paramilitary's site in Ambikapur city in Surguja District of Chhattisgarh.

Naxalites [Left Wing Extremists, LWEs] of Jharkhand Jana Mukti Parishad (JJMP), a splinter group of the Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist) set ablaze 16 vehicles at a railway siding and also assaulted six labourers in Latehar District of Jharkhand on July 12, reports India TV. The JJMP cadres first attacked the Tori railway siding and came down heavily on the labourers sleeping at the spot. After snatching away their mobile phones, the LWEs set the 16 parked vehicles at the siding on fire. There were around 15 of the JJMP cadres who took to indiscriminate firing, though no one was reported injured in it. The denial of ‘levy’ (extortion amount) from the area is said to be the reason for the attack as coal transportation is done from the Tori siding. Following the attack coal transportation has been stopped from Tori and additional forces deployed.

Two railway workers on duty were allegedly threatened by a couple of suspected Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist) cadres wielding weapons near Kadadaravalli in Sakleshpur Taluk (revenue sub-division) in Hassan District of Karnataka on July 15, reports The Hindu. Vijay and Raju, the two workers, were cleaning the Sakleshpur-Subrahmanya track when they encountered two persons walking on the track. When they questioned the duo, the two allegedly threatened to attack them with a knife and a firearm. The rail workers were made to sit for some time quietly so that the duo could leave. The workers eventually reached Maranahalli and alerted their seniors. The District Police conducted a combing operation on July 17 to arrest the culprits. However, B.N. Nandini, Additional Superintendent of Police (ASP), said, “It is not clear who the men were. The railway staff could not identify the firearm they were carrying as it was dark. It may have been just some miscreants attempting to rob the staff. So far, movement of naxals has not been recorded in the district.”

The Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist) on July 16 warned the State Government to immediately put a stop to what it called forcible eviction of tribals from forest land reports Telangana Today. In an unsigned statement, purportedly issued by Jagan, representative of the CPI-Maoist in Telangana, the group said the recent incident in Sarsala village in Asifabad District of Telangana was one such example of forcible eviction of tribals from forest land by the Forest Department. Instead of evicting poor tribals from the land they were tilling, the Government should take back large tracts of forest land occupied by political leaders over the years. If their call was not heeded to and the Government does not halt combing operations and searches by Security Forces (SFs), they would be forced to take action against Telangana Rashtra Samithi (TRS) leaders, the Left Wing Extremist (LWE) outfit said.

Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist) leaders are making arrangements to observe ‘Martyr’s Week’ from July 28 to August 3, in a big way, reports The Hindu on July 22. The banned Naxal (Left Wing Extremism, LWE) outfit will organise the ‘martyr’s memorial week’ in all Maoist-affected States, including Chhattisgarh, Telangana, Andhra Pradesh (AP), Maharashtra, Odisha and Jharkhand. In Andhra-Odisha Border (AOB), the Maoist East Division Committee has distributed pamphlets asking the villagers to organise meetings in all villages, and commemorate the martyrdom of Charu Mazumdar.

An anti-Naxal [Left Wing Extremism, LWE] force discovered six landmines, suspected to be of the Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist) in Donubai forest area in Srikakulam District of Andhra Pradesh on July 23, reports New Kerala. A country-made revolver was also found on the spot. N. Ammi Reddy, Superintendent of Police (SP), said "The landmine dump might have set up almost six years ago. By completing the circuit with the help of remote or even a mobile phone, those mines can be used for massive destruction." He further added that Maoists might be using these places as shelter zones so they might not have plans for using the mines exactly in the same area. If needed, they could have easily used the mines. The Police also said that politicians and combing parties can be possible targets. The SP also added that they suspected the Konda Baredu Dalam (armed squad) of the CPI-Maoist to have planted the mines.
