Woman sustains bullet injuries in GNLA attack:

A three-member armed group of suspected GNLA militants entered a village across the Simsang river near East Garo Hills district headquarters of Williamnagar on Tuesday night and opened fire injuring a woman from the village whom they accused of collaborating with the police against their outfit.

The militants, allegedly led by the GNLA operational commander Jennie alias Ringrang swooped down on Nengmandalgre village, 6 kms from Williamnagar, at around 7:30 pm and entered the house of Mrs Rabilla Ch Marak (Walsangma).

They accosted the lady and the husband and accused her of working for the police in giving details about the movement of militants in the area. Despite her denials the militants opened fire injuring her on the left hand and one side of her buttocks. Before they fled the village the militants opened several rounds of blank fire and even left behind a note condemning her for her actions. She has since been shifted to Tura Civil Hospital for surgery and is reportedly out of danger. Police later recovered from the scene of the crime four empty bullet cases of an SLR rifle and ten empty rounds of a China-made rifle. It is believed that the GNLA may have accused her of collaborating with the authorities because of a recent incident in which their deputy area commander identified as Dilseng was gunned down outside the village by SWAT commandos of the district police. Police deny any involvement of her passing information about the activities of the militants. Co-incidentally, over eight years ago her first husband was shot dead by ANVC militants led by Sohan D Shira over allegations of being a police informer. Sohan Shira is now the commander-in-chief of GNLA.

Meanwhile, the GNLA political secretary Bikdot Nikjang Marak was quick to counter police denials while reiterating his outfit’s claims that the victim was involved in gathering information.

“We had no intention to kill her. We only wanted to punish her because she refused to listen to our warnings. She was found collaborating with police on two previous occasions also,” claim the GNLA leader.

The militant leader even went to the extent of issuing a threat that three other women collaborators of the police from the area have been identified and action was being mooted against them.

Maoist Leaders Escape After Encounter in Orissa:

Maoist leaders escaped after an encounter with security forces during a raid on a camp at Jadu Loisingh forest in Orissa's Sambalpur district today.

Maoist leaders Girish Mahato of Jharkhand, Kunu Dehuri of Orissa and others escaped from the camp as the Maoists and security personnel traded fire, Sambalpur Superintendent of Police Nikhil Kanodia said.

The Maoists fired 150 rounds, which was retaliated by 300 rounds and 16 grenades by the security forces but none was killed or injured, Kanodia said.

The encounter broke out when the security forces began a combing operation in the area this morning after a group of about 15 armed Maoists set fire to vehicles and equipment of a private construction company at Mundher village yesterday.

The security forces seized a gun, three cartridges and five grenades from the camp.

The security forces comprised the Special Operations Group, CRPF and District Voluntary Force.

Police sources said the gun seized was snatched from the security guard of the private construction company yesterday.

Maoist commander held

HAZARIBAG : In a joint raid conducted by the Hazaribag and the Chatra police following a tip-off, a Maoist zonal commander Ajayjee alias Ranjan Paswan was arrested from the dense forests of Jordag bordering Keredari (Hazaribag) and Tandwa (Chatra) on Wednesday with two firearms and about dozen live cartridges, said SP Pankaj Kamboj here on Thursday.

The SP further said Ajayjee who was wanted by Chatra police in connection with several cases was taken to Chatra for interrogation. On the basis of information given by him, three more Maoists were arrested by the Chatra police.

The SP further said that Ajayjee was regularly guided by the jailed zonal commander Bhagirath Mahto, who is currently lodged in Hazaribag Central jail after his arrest some five years ago.

He said Ajay's area of operation was Barkagaon and Keredari in Hazaribag district, Chatra, Ramgarh and Khelari in Ranchi district. The SP said the police got the information from Bhagirath during a raid conducted in the high security cells of the central jail on October 25.

He said that Bhagirath used his cell phone in jail to organize his front which was looked after by Ajayjee and his team. The SP said under Bhagirath's guidance, Ajay was getting arms and ammunition and financial assistance for maintaining the front.

The Hazaribag police have filed separate cases against Ravi Sharma, Bhagirath Mahto and Pandoo Majhi for the recovery of prohibitory articles including cell phones and TV sets and chargers during the raid in the jail .

Munda’s development sapping Maoist strength

Giving a deadline to Maoists for shunning violence and coming to talks, West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee might have taken inspiration from the famous words of Jawarharlal Nehru - “The only alternative to coexistence is co-destruction.” However, her counterpart in Jharkhand seems to have well understood the fact that 'co-destruction' is not an alternative to under-development.

The Arjun Munda-led Government doesn't seem to take a destructive approach to curb extremism in the State. It is rather on a decently slow and steady path of development that would eventually end the social evil in the long run.

Taking cue from its neighbours Bihar and Odisha, Jharkhand has focused more on the development mantra in the recent days than exhausting the energy of a major part of the Government machinery in war against extremism.

On one hand, the State Government is actively providing support in anti-Maoist operations with Central forces. On the other hand, it has brought in 'peaceful' measures to lure extremists to the mainstream.

Jharkhand Police's “Operation Nayi Disha has produced very good results for the State. As many as 34 Maoists have surrendered under the rehabilitation scheme till date. Apart from this, community policing is a regular activity in every district of the State that not only helps the Government reach the people but also waive the sense of insecurity among rural masses,” said Jharkhand Police spokesperson RK Mallick.

In more than 13 months of his reign, Munda has been consistently trying to accelerate the pace of development works in the State rather than taking the Maoists head on and pose more hurdles for economic growth in Jharkhand.

“The State Government has not borrowed any model of development. It has its own approach to development.

The CM is well aware that the infrastructure development is the key to solve all problems. It only through good infrastructure you can approach the people,” said CM's Parliamentary Advisor Ayodhyanath Mishra.

“The CM has focused on three key areas - roads, availability of water and power. Hundreds of ponds have been desilted and dug deep in the past year so the people get abundant water for their usage,” he added.

Mishra said the CM had been consistently pressing the Centre for fund allotment of National Highway broadening and reconstruction. “While 8,200 km of State roads have been sanctioned, the CM has pressed the demand for six -laning of NH 75, 33, 24 and 23 in the recently-held NDC meeting. On the front of power, the CM has made all efforts to enhance power generation and its transmission to the end point,” he said. Mishra also enlisted several schemes - including Dal Bhat Yojna, Lakshmi Ladli Yojna, Mamata Vahan Yojna, among others - that are unique and winning accolades from all over. “Development has a lasting impact on generations and is able to eradicate all evils,” he concluded.

Police arrest Maoist in Orissa operation, seize weapon

Malkangiri (Orissa), Oct.23 (ANI)olice in Orissa's Malkangiri District have arrested a Maoist and seized his weapon during an operation in a forest area.


The Maoist, identified as Deba Kartami, has been involved several cases and was nabbed during a joint security operation.


"When we were carrying out a joint combing operation, then near Metaguda forest we arrested a Maoist supporter and his name is Deba Kartami and his father's name is Jagat Katami.

He is 28 years old and had been helping the Maoist for the last one year," said Ramkrushna Pati, police inspector, Malkangiri.


Kertami has been an active member of a Maoist outfit in the district.




When the police arrested Kertami, they seized some documents along with a rifle.


In the last few months, police in Maoist affected areas have been quite successful in arresting a number of ultras.


Despite strong measures initiated by the federal government to crush the militants, the Maoist insurgency has gripped nearly one-third of the country in its violent tentacles, spreading into the interiors of 20 of India's 28 states.


The prime victims of these atrocities and the fear spread by Maoists since decades as part of a violent, ideology-driven struggle for 'rights and development of the marginalised' are the commoners - the innocent villagers and tribals living in rural interiors.


The tussle for power by the Maoists has led to a virtual breakdown of state-machinery in the villages of insurgency-hit regions, with many locals reeling under abject poverty and violence.

Women undergo training in self-defence to ward off Maoist threats in Bihar

Gaya, Oct 27 (ANI): In a bid to prevent innocent civilians from getting sucked into the Maoist insurgency, the Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF) has successfully imparted training in self-defence and allied martial arts to women hailing from the strife-ridden areas of Bihar.


The CRPF had begun an intense, physically challenging and rigorous training session in a bid to empower oppressed women in Bihar's Gaya District, which has been a hotbed for Maoist rebels since years.

This group of 50 young and dynamic women completed the strenuous course under the able guidance of the 159th Battalion of CRPF to become certified security guards on Sunday.


These women underwent a three months training that included, basic defence training, checking, frisking, and modes of surveillance as well as unarmed combat skills.


However, CRPF officials asserted that this training was not intended to 'use' this group in the ongoing anti-Maoist operations, saying it was merely aimed at providing these women a sustainable livelihood to escape the vicious cycle of underdevelopment and poverty.


"These people have not been trained to combat the Maoists. This is an initiative to help them lead a dignified life, so that they can work as security guards and escorts. These girls hail from such areas that they could have been forced to take up the misconceived path of extremist Marxism or exploited. Hence in order to stop their exploitation and allow them to be a part of the main stream of society, the CRPF has helped them by imparting training," said Aftab Ahmad Khan, Inspector General of Police, CRPF.


Meanwhile, the elated security-conscious trained women said that they felt empowered after undergoing the rigours of training under experts.


"Earlier we were scared of the rebels but after receiving training from here I am very happy. We not that scared of Maoists now," said Rupa Kumari. (ANI)

CRPF is nothing but a danda wielding force newly equipped with AK's and INSAS.

No training.

No equipment.

No support system.

Meagre funding.

They (the powers that be) won't let the Army and Air Force go in and clean this mess, may be rightly so. A state should never have to use its Army (the most lethal weapon it can wield) on its own people.

...sends a very very wrong signal.

Otherwise, it would take the Army, hardened in COIN in Kashmir for past 25 years, only as long as it takes BAYGON to finish cockroahces, to finish these so called maoists.
