Raipur: In a second Naxal attack in Chhattisgarh in 24 hours, 17 trucks carrying iron ore were set on fire. The attack took place in Kanker, however, no casualties were reported. After the incident, several security personnel were rushed to the spot.

Notably, four officials of Neco Jayaswal company, including a general manager, were?kidnapped?on April 1 by Naxals from a separate iron ore reserve - Chargaon in Kanker district. However, they were later released the same day.
Yesterday, seven STF personnel were killed and ten others injured when Naxals ambushed them in the forests of Pidmel village under Polampalli police station limits of Sukma district, around 450 km from the state capital Raipur. The deceased included a platoon commander-ranked officer.

Last Updated: Monday, April 13, 2015 - 15:32
New Delhi: Government has decided to confer gallantry awards on the security personnel who sacrificed their lives in the recent Naxal attacks in Chhattisgarh and said it would also extend benefits to their kin.
"We have decided to give them the gallantry award. We have also finalised other facilities to be given (to their family members). We will make a proper announcement as soon as possible," Home Minister Rajnath Singh told reporters here.
Paying tribute to the security personnel killed in Chhattisgarh, he said, "I salute the courage of jawans who sacrificed their lives."
Seven STF personnel were killed and a dozen others injured in an ambush by Naxals on Saturday in the forests around Pidmel village in the Polampalli area, around 450-km from state capital Raipur.
In a separate attack, the third by them since Saturday, Maoist rebels last night killed a BSF jawan in Chhattisgarh's Kanker district.

Monday, April 13, 2015 - 16:13
Raipur: A trooper was killed when armed Maoists launched a brazen attack on a BSF camp in Chhattisgarh's restive Bastar region - the third terror strike on security personnel within three days.

Officials at police headquarters here said on Monday that a few insurgents tried to sneak into a Border Security Force (BSF) camp at Chhotebetiya forests in Kanker district's Pakhanjoor area in the early hours of Monday.
"The alert BSF jawans opened fire on rebels when they tried to storm the camp," R.K. Vij, state's head of anti-Naxal operations, told IANS. He added that trooper RP Solanki was killed on the spot.
Vij said a rebel was also found killed at the attack site and three IEDs of 20 kg each were recovered during the combing operation near the camp.
Security has been stepped up at police and para-military camps across the insurgency-hit Bastar where rebels hold sway in interior areas since late 1980s.

Districts and States affected by Naxal Activities
106 districts in the States are considered as Left Wing Extremism (LWE) affected. Of these, Bihar has maximum 22 districts, followed by Jharkhand,- 21, Odisha-19, Chhattisgarh-16, Andhra Pradesh & Telangana,- both 08 each, West Bengal & Maharashtra,- both 04 each, Uttar Pradesh,- 03 and Madhya Pradesh, 01. The year-wise details on number of districts in the country which has witnessed some form of LWE activities are as under:-
Year- Number of districts-Number of States
2010 - 196 - 20
2011 - 203 - 20
2012 - 198 -18
2013 - 182 -20
2014 - 161 -16
It is clear that number of districts which witnessed some form of LWE activities have been decreasing.
Apart from the above, it is worth mentioning that the numbers of incidents of LWE violence and resultant deaths have also significantly declined during the last four years from 2011 to 2014. The year-wise details of numbers of incidents of LWE violence and resultant deaths are as follows:
Year-Incidents -Deaths
2010 -2213 -1005
2011 -1760 -611
2012 -1415 -415
2013 -1136-397
2014-1091-309
In order to bring Left Wing Extremists (LWE) into the mainstream, the State Governments have their own surrender and rehabilitation policies. In order to supplement the efforts of the State Governments, the Central Government reimburses the expenditure incurred by the State Governments on rehabilitation of surrendered Left Wing Extremists under the Security Related Expenditure (SRE) Scheme for Left Wing Extremism affected States in terms of its own policy in this regard.
The Government of India has revised the guidelines for ‘Surrender-cum-Rehabilitation Scheme of Left Wing Extremists in the affected States’ with effect from 1.4.2013. As per the revised policy, the Central Government provides reimbursement of expenditure incurred on an immediate grant for surrendered LWE cadres subject to a ceiling of Rs. 2.5 lakh for higher ranked LWE cadres and Rs. 1.5 lakh for middle/lower ranked LWE cadres. The additional incentives given for surrender of weapons/ ammunition is also reimbursed which ranges from Rs. 10 to Rs. 35000 per weapon depending on type of weapon surrendered from detonator to Light Machine Gun, Rocket Launcher etc. In addition, the monthly stipend paid to the surrenderee while undergoing vocational training is also reimbursed subject to the ceiling of Rs. 4000 per month per surrenderee for a maximum period of 36 months. The revised policy envisages formation of the Screening-cum-Rehabilitation Committees by the State Governments which are involved in the process of identification and rehabilitation of surrendered LWE cadres.

Districts and States affected by Naxal Activities
106 districts in the States are considered as Left Wing Extremism (LWE) affected. Of these, Bihar has maximum 22 districts, followed by Jharkhand,- 21, Odisha-19, Chhattisgarh-16, Andhra Pradesh & Telangana,- both 08 each, West Bengal & Maharashtra,- both 04 each, Uttar Pradesh,- 03 and Madhya Pradesh, 01. The year-wise details on number of districts in the country which has witnessed some form of LWE activities are as under:-
Year- Number of districts-Number of States
2010 - 196 - 20
2011 - 203 - 20
2012 - 198 -18
2013 - 182 -20
2014 - 161 -16
It is clear that number of districts which witnessed some form of LWE activities have been decreasing.
Apart from the above, it is worth mentioning that the numbers of incidents of LWE violence and resultant deaths have also significantly declined during the last four years from 2011 to 2014. The year-wise details of numbers of incidents of LWE violence and resultant deaths are as follows:
Year-Incidents -Deaths
2010 -2213 -1005
2011 -1760 -611
2012 -1415 -415
2013 -1136-397
2014-1091-309
In order to bring Left Wing Extremists (LWE) into the mainstream, the State Governments have their own surrender and rehabilitation policies. In order to supplement the efforts of the State Governments, the Central Government reimburses the expenditure incurred by the State Governments on rehabilitation of surrendered Left Wing Extremists under the Security Related Expenditure (SRE) Scheme for Left Wing Extremism affected States in terms of its own policy in this regard.
The Government of India has revised the guidelines for ‘Surrender-cum-Rehabilitation Scheme of Left Wing Extremists in the affected States’ with effect from 1.4.2013. As per the revised policy, the Central Government provides reimbursement of expenditure incurred on an immediate grant for surrendered LWE cadres subject to a ceiling of Rs. 2.5 lakh for higher ranked LWE cadres and Rs. 1.5 lakh for middle/lower ranked LWE cadres. The additional incentives given for surrender of weapons/ ammunition is also reimbursed which ranges from Rs. 10 to Rs. 35000 per weapon depending on type of weapon surrendered from detonator to Light Machine Gun, Rocket Launcher etc. In addition, the monthly stipend paid to the surrenderee while undergoing vocational training is also reimbursed subject to the ceiling of Rs. 4000 per month per surrenderee for a maximum period of 36 months. The revised policy envisages formation of the Screening-cum-Rehabilitation Committees by the State Governments which are involved in the process of identification and rehabilitation of surrendered LWE cadres.

Chhattisgarh wants Naga jungle warriors to counter Bastar Maoists - The Times of India
May 12, 2015, 04.10 AM IST
RAIPUR: While Chhattisgarh government is using the development route to counter Naxal insurgency in the state, it wants some hard task masters in the jungle as well. The state government has written to ministry of home affairs seeking battalions of Nagaland's Indian Reserve Battalions, especially for the worst-hit Bastar region.
Naga fighters are considered the very best in jungle warfare for their no-nonsense fighting skills, survival tactics and toughness.
The move comes as the state government, along with Modi government in the Centre, spends thousands of crores for the development and education of the region. Modi, on a short visit on Saturday, kick-started schemes worth Rs 24,000 crore in Bastar region.
According to a rough estimate by the state officials, there are more than 5,000 Naxalites in Bastar region alone, where CRPF, state's STF, district force and local police are deployed. In total across the state, there are close to 40,000 central paramilitary forces personnel posted.
Chief minister Raman Singh said that ministry of home affairs has been approached to deploy Naga armed police force personnel and ministry will take up the matter with Nagaland government. "Experience shows that Nagaland battalions were very useful in fighting the Naxalites. They are very good at jungle warfare," said Singh.
Inspector general of police (Bastar region), S R P Kalluri, talking to TOI, said "The Naga forces, militarily, are far superior than any police force in the jungle. For fighting Naxal insurgency, they are the best".
Brigadier (retd) B K Ponwar, who runs the Counter-Terrorism and Jungle Warfare College in Kanker and has trained over 30,000 men, also agrees that Naga fighters would be very useful for the state. "They (Naga armed police forces men) are very quick in the jungle. They are good trackers, they can live off the land, are hardy, can eat anything and walk on the toughest terrain for long hours."
Last time, from 2006 to 2008, when Naga battalions were posted in Chhattisgarh, there complaints of human rights violations from several NGOs and organizations sympathetic to Maoists after which the Nagaland government withdrew the fighters from the BJP-ruled state.
"I presume they will be better disciplined this time," said Ponwar.
There are several challenges in front of Chhattisgarh government including construction of dams, railway lines, electrification of remote villages and construction of roads in the most disturbed regions. For constructing roads in most disturbed areas, sometimes the state has to deploy a huge force.
Raman Singh said that the Bastar region is bigger in size than Kerala and shares borders with other Maoist violence-affected states like Andhra Pradesh, Odisha and Maharashtra.
"Forces took 40 years to catch one Veerappan (dreaded sandalwood smuggler who was killed by security forces in 2004). There are thousands of Veerappans in the state. But we will catch each one of them," he said.
