Maoists expanding base in Assam

In what should be a major concern to the government, the Maoists are reportedly multiplying their numbers and expanding their operations in the state.

According to reports, Maoists have formed Revolutionary People's Guerrilla Army in Assam to fight the government.

They have civil and publicity wings to recruit poor and unemployed youth of the state.

Most of their activities are restricted to Dhemaji, Lakhimpur, Jorhat, Tinsukia and Dibrugarh districts of Upper Assam. High-ranking Maoist officials reportedly often visit Assam to monitor the expansion work.

Home Minister P Chidambaram and Assam Chief Minister Tarun Gogoi have acknowledged the growing threat.

The security forces have been alerted and there are plans of deployment of more paramilitary companies and implementation of integrated action plan in the state.

Assam's Director General of Police (DGP), Jayanta Narayan Chaudhury, however believes it to be a publicity stunt by the Maoists.

"Maoists want to create a base in the rural areas of Assam. Their strategy is to generate publicity for themselves in areas, which have less popularity for the government," Chaudhury said.

The Maoists have a strength of about 125-150 cadres in the state who are trained in forests of Chattisgarh, Jharkhand and Odisha.

They have established links with Northeast based insurgent outfits like ULFA, NSCN and PLA to procure weapons.

Investigations reveal that they have started extortion in Assam.

Maoists are also providing tactical training to insurgents from the Northeast in their camps. A few months ago ULFA cadres including Aditya Bora were arrested from their camps.

Experts believe that the primary reason for the heightened Maoist movement is not violence, but arms procurement.

"In Assam there are three zones that Maoists have formed. One is on Assam-Nagaland border, another is Assam-Arunachal border and other is on Assam-West Bengal zone. The main reason behind this Maoist movement is not for violence but for procuring arms because Maoists depend on illegal small arms to carry out their activities. And one of the main areas where they can get arms is in Dimapur and towards Manipur coming from Myanmar," said Namrata Goswami, an expert.Most insurgents groups in Assam are in dialogue with the government and Maoists are trying to take advantage of this vacuum and destabilize the region.

Naxals making forays into southern states

New Delhi, May 9, 2012, (PTI)
The Naxals are making forays into Karnataka, Kerala and Tamil Nadu under the supervision of the South West Regional Bureau of CPI(Maoist) and engaged in establishing a forest route in the area.

Minister of State for Home Jitendra Singh told Rajya Sabha that the Maoists plans include creating a base on the border of Kerala and Karnataka.

"The CPI(Maoist) cadres, active in the Wayanad district of Kerala have also been known to engage in efforts aimed at establishing a forest route from Wayanad district to Mysore district of Karnataka. The CPI(Maoist) is gradually expanding their activities in these states," he said.

Singh said the Central government has sensitised the Kerala, Karnataka and Tamil Nadu governments in this regard and has also advised them to take necessary preventive and pre-emptive measures to foil the efforts of the CPI(Maoist) aimed at revival of its movement in these states.

At least three tribal farmers were abducted at gunpoint and taken to neighbouring Bangladesh by the outlawed National Liberation Front of Tripura (NLFT) militants, police said Monday.

"Four tribal farmers were kidnapped by the heavily-armed and banned militants while they working in their mountainous Jhum' (slash and burn method of cultivation) field at Gandachara in northern Tripura," a police spokesman told reporters.

Quoting eye-witnesses, the police official said that the militants took the hostages to Bangladesh through the unfenced border.

"From the captivity of the NlFT rebels, one of the four hostages managed to escape in the afternoon," the official added.

Tripura police have asked the Border Security Force (BSF) to talk to their counterparts in Bangladesh to rescue the captives.

Those still in the captivity of the tribal guerillas in Bangladesh include, Pradhanjoy ,27, Rabinjoy, 20 and Mahancha,30.

Senior police officials have rushed to the spot, 185 km north of here, and are keeping in touch with the BSF officials.

The NLFT and the All Tripura Tiger Force, both banned by Indian authorities, have set up their bases in Bangladesh and get support from other separatist outfits of the northeast. They have been demanding secession of Tripura from India.

Tripura shares a 856 km border with Bangladesh.

Maoists kidnap, kill ASI in Orissa

In a chilling reminder that confirms recent intelligence reports that the Naxals had consolidated their position while armed operations against them were suspended during the recent high-profile kidnappings in Orissa, the Maoists on Tuesday killed an abducted assistant sub-inspector of police, Kruparam Majhi, in the state’s Nuapada region.
The victim was kidnapped on Tuesday morning while he was on his way to a CRPF camp escorting a water-tanker. His body was recovered later in the evening by the local police.
Sources among security agencies here pointed out it was clear that the Maoists had kidnapped Majhi with the intention of killing him and to send out a strong signal that they can hit the security forces at will. State police officials claimed that the Naxals also want to disrupt the supply of essential commodities to the CRPF which has been carrying out combing operations in the area.
State police chief Manmohan Praharaj said, while another constable, Deba Narayan Sahoo, managed to escape, the Naxals caught Majhi. The Naxals then took him to a nearby forest and pumped three bullets into his head and chest.
Even as chief minister Naveen Patnaik condemned the brutal killing, the Union home ministry has sought a report from the state government.
What is significant is that it is suspected that Majhi was killed by a group of Naxals from Chhattisgarh and not the cadres of Orissa-Andhra committee that normally operates in that region.
This, senior security officials argue, is extremely important as armed operations against the Naxals in Orissa were suspended for more than a month during which period the Naxals from neighbouring states shifted base to Orissa to avoid any confrontation with the security forces.
“There are intelligence reports that Naxal cadre, particularly from Chhattisgarh, Jharkhand and Andhra, crossed over to Orissa to cool their heels. Today’s incident is not just a lesson for the Orissa government but all Naxal-affected states that they simply cannot go soft against red terror,” a top official of the paramilitary forces said.

Alarming rise in Maoists’ activities in Odisha’

New Delhi: The Centre has singled out Odisha for an "alarming" rise in the activities of Maoists and accused the Naveen Patnaik government of failing to take any counter measure.

"It is pertinent to mention that Odisha is the only state of India where activities of CPI(Maoists) are spreading to new areas at an alarming rate without requisite counter-measures by the state government," the Home Ministry said in a message sent to Director General of Police and Principal Secretary (Home) of Odisha government.

The Home Ministry told the state government that since the hostage crisis arising out of the abduction of two Italians and an MLA was resolved, it should rework on the strategy to deal with "rising Naxalism" in the state.



"Intelligence-based sustained anti-Naxal operations may be launched to prevent the CPI(Maoists) from capitalising on the circumstances arising out of the recent developments in the state," the message said.

The Home Ministry also cited several instances of Naxal violence and the state government's "failure" to check the menace despite having a strong presence of central paramilitary forces.

"In the wake of the recent abductions by Maoists, anti-Naxal operations have remained suspended in Maoist strongholds in southern districts and are yet to be resumed even after the release of the hostages," it said.

The Home Ministry also said that due to lack of operations by security forces, Naxals are reported to have decided to exploit the circumstances to further consolidate their influence and spread across several districts

Maoist army is 46K strong... and rebels look to be winning the war

The Maoists have raised a mini-army in the heart of the country. Armed to the teeth with AK-47s, INSAS rifles and landmines, they are ready to strike terror. And, they seem to be winning the 'war'.
On Tuesday, the government officially put a figure to the number of armed Naxal cadre as huge as 46,600. To fight them, nearly 94,000 paramilitary personnel have been posted in nine Naxal-hit states.
On top of that, nearly 1 lakh policemen are battling the Naxals in Chhattisgarh and Jharkhand - two of the worst hit states.

But the numerical supremacy is no guarantee for success; the government seems to be still losing the 'war' against the Naxals.
In the past two years, the Maoists killed 483 security men while losing only 286 of their cadre. Home minister P. Chidambaram recently said there were 78 battalions - each comprising 1,200 men - of the CRPF, BSF, SSB and ITBP posted in various states to fight the Naxals.

This strength rose from just 37 battalions posted when he took over the ministry in 2009. 'According to current estimates, the strength of the hardcore Naxals in the country is around 8,600.
In addition, there are around 38,000 'jan militia', who carry rudimentary arms and also provide logistic support to the core group of the People Liberation Guerilla Army (PLGA) of the CPI (Maoist),' minister of state in the home ministry, Jitendra Singh, said in a written reply to the Lok Sabha on Tuesday.


A senior home ministry official claimed that this figure is based on inputs of the Intelligence Bureau (IB), interrogation reports of certain top Naxal leaders arrested over the past two years and seized Maoist literature.
'Currently, neither the Maoists nor the security forces are in a position to overwhelm each other. The Maoists, however, have an edge because of the topography of the hideouts in deep forests,' the official added.
The Maoist 'army' is reportedly made up of three components: the main force, a secondary force and a base force.
The main force has companies, platoons and special action teams besides an intelligence unit. The secondary force comprises special guerilla squads, while the base force is made up of the 'jan militia'.
The main force is armed with AK-47s and INSAS rifles, mostly looted from the security forces. The lowerlevel Maoist cadre use double-barrel and single-barrel guns apart from countrymade weapons.
Their arms of choice, however, are claymore landmines to blow up vehicles. Former UP DGP and ex-BSF chief Prakash Singh said: 'Though we are fighting a mini-army, its strength is not so daunting that it cannot be overwhelmed. It is possible to disintegrate it if there is the political will to do so.'
Naxals murder police officer after abducting him in Orissa
The bullet-ridden body of assistant police inspector Kruparam Majhi was found at a village about 22 km from Nuapada town in Orissa on Tuesday.
He was abducted by a group of Maoists from the outskirts of Dharmbandha village close to Chhattisgarh border while escorting a water tanker to the CRPF camp at Godhas where a combing operation was going on.
The news of the 40-yearold police officer's death was confirmed by Nuapada subdivisional police officer (SDPO), Prafulla Kumar Patro. Although the police blamed the Maoists, no rebel group has so far claimed responsibility for the incident.
The incident comes just days after the Maoists released BJD legislator Jhina Hikaka, more than a month after they had kidnapped him.

Abducted sarpanch killed by Naxals

GONDIA: The body of Ghanshyam Koreti, sarpanch of Istari in Deori tehsil who was abducted from his residence on Monday night, was found near the tank of village Dhamni Tola on Thursday morning.

Koreti was prosecuted in 2010 for allegedly misappropriating funds received for water supply scheme of the village. He was playing double game since then. Although he was a Naxal sympathizer, he was pretending that he was a police informer. On Monday, some 10-12 Naxals came to his residence around 9pm, confided in him and took him with them with the assurance that he would be released the next day. But that did not happen.

SDOP Shashikant Borade is investigating.

Naxals making forays into southern states

I do not think the Naxals should be called "Naxals" or "Maoists" anymore. They are clearly the "Free Opposition Government of India."

They are taking over massive territories in the northeast and now the southern (Tamil) states. They are no longer just communist, but a "Congress" of all forces opposed to the evil brahminist regime in new delhi.
