Naxalism is at city's doorsteps: Former top cop

MUMBAI: The Naxal movement, which used to be confined to Gadchiroli and Chandrapur, and later to Gondia and Nanded districts, has reached the doorsteps of the metropolis, due to the failure of the Congress-led Democratic Front government in tackling the problems of tribals.

Former director-general of police Arvind Inamdar on Monday expressed concern over the emergence of Naxalites in a big way in Thane and Pune. "Certainly, it's a matter of serious concern. Prima facie, the Naxalites seem to have succeeded in ensuring the support of tribals and intellectuals in urban areas. As a result of that, their movement is getting support in big cities," Inamdar told TOI.

In 1977, when Inamdar was Nagpur's deputy commissioner of police, he had nabbed Kondapalli Seetharamaiah, a top Naxal leader in those days and later in 1992, he had seized arms worth Rs 8 lakh from a Naxal sympathizer in that city.


Inamdar pointed out that the naxals were now concentrating on urban areas. "It appears that their social networking is very strong, and as a result, they have been able to attract urban intellectuals," he said.

On the reasons for the growth of the Naxal movement, Inamdar said they had impressed upon the tribals that the government and industrialists were exploiting them. "It's a fact that they have been robbed of their livelihood. Their traditions and culture have been neglected. Therefore, they look to the Naxals for justice," he said.

Inamdar warned that if they join hands with terrorists and gangsters, it will be the worst-ever situation. "In the past, there were reports of naxals joining hands with the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam ( LTTE). Then there were reports that there was a nexus (between them). If they join hands, it will be an alarming situation," he said.

Gadchiroli district collector Atul Patne, who has taken measures to bring the tribals into the mainstream, felt that more efforts were needed to ensure that villagers don't succumb to Naxal pressure. "We will have to put in more efforts, we will have to involve all sections of society," Patne said.

Centre advises Odisha not to post SPOs in Maoist areas:

Orissadiary.com reports that the Union Ministry Home Affairs (MHA) has advised the Sates affected by the Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist) including Odisha to refrain from posting Special Police Officers (SPO) as it is telling upon the efficiency and morale of the regular Police personnel. The Bureau of Police Research and Development working under the MHA, after meticulous survey in the Maoist-hit areas, has recommended to the ministry that the SPO not being trained are not aware of their legal limits and they often indulge in acts that tar the reputation of regular policemen, demoralising them. It also creates negative impression on the police administration. The Police also become dependent on them leading to slow-down in their efficiency. Disapproving the way some states are bent upon posting increased numbers of SPOs, the bureau has also recommended that they immediately refrain from such indiscriminate measures.

Source: Hueiyen News Service

At least seven people were wounded as clashes between two groups of people of the same locality at Sangaiyumpham Chirapur in Thoubal district resurfaced today.

Eight houses and two tata trucks have also been burnt in the fresh clash that erupted this morning around 6.30 am.

The district administration has promulgated restrictions under section 144 of CrPC as tension was high in the area following the clash even though the situation has been put under control.

Police has been detailed to maintain public order in the area.

Local reports said that some group of people with stones and catapults attacked the house of Aribam Abocha where rites were being performed to mark the first death anniversary of his father.

Family members and relatives of Abocha reacted with deadly arms like DBBL guns, spears, arrows, machetes, etc.

and launched an attack.

A fierce fight ensued resulting in the burning down of houses and vehicles of both sides.

In the clash, seven people from both sides sustained injuries.

They were Aribam Salau Khan (27) son of Salim, Shiraj Ahmed (45) son of Usman, Md Harman (60), Md Tajiuddin (50), Md Tamijur (50), Makakmayum Riyash Khan (16) son of Abdulah, Md Wahidur Rehman (37) son of Late Laimu and Sereimayum Abdul Gafer (45) .

Among the injured persons, Salau Khan was hit by a bullet in the chest and was immediately evacuated to the Thoubal district hospital.

After his condition became critical, doctors referred him to the RIMS hospital.

Md Tamijur Rehman sustained DBBL bullet injuries in his belly and left cheek, he was discharged after being given treatment at the district hospital.

Four other injured persons, Riyash, Harman, Tamijuddin and Tamijur, were also discharged from the Thoubal district hospital after being given first aid whereas two others did not need medical attention as they sustained minor injuries.

In the clash, apart from house of Phundreimayum Sarjamad (50) being torched, a tata truck (MN05-2781) belonging to him was also set on fire.

The house of Nurjaman (50) and his tata truck (MNA-3515) were also damaged.

Others houses which were torched in the clash belonged to Leirak Bibi, Shiraj alias Haimu, Moirangmayum Mafijuddin, Atab Khan and Thambal.

A shop belonging to Muhamad Khan was also set afire.

A large contingent of Thoubal district headquarters led by SP K Jayenta rushed to the spot with fire fighters to douse the burning houses and vehicles.

Police resorted to firing several rounds in the air to control the fighting.

Troops of BSF and CRPF were also detailed in the area to control any untoward incident.

Additional fire tenders were called from Imphal to help douse the burning houses.

However, it was too late to save the houses.

MLA O Landhoni rushed to the spot and took stock of the situation.

She asked the security force to be alert to prevent violence in the area.

Meanwhile, the Thoubal district administration has detailed armed police personnel, paramilitary forces in the area to prevent fresh violent incidence, an officer said.

It may recalled that disagreement between two groups first surfaced on May 9 allegedly over sharing of the money gifted to them by minister Md Allaudin Khan.

The disagreement quickly turned into an ugly free-for-all confrontation with both sides resorting to sticks, stones and even licensed guns to attack each other leaving four injured.

The matter subsided after the minister called up the warring factions to his official quarter on the intervention of the Chief Minister.

The village where the fighting occurred is under Khangabok Assembly constituency from where O Landhoni was elected.
