Fear of Naxal disturbances in Sept keeps police on their toes
Raipur: With the outlawed Communist Party of India (Maoist) planning
to create disturbances to mark its decade of formation this September,
police is bracing up to counter any such move and
make
people aware about the “futility” of the rebel movements. The Maoists
are preparing several programmes to suit the occasion all over the
country in their strongholds and to demonstrate their influence even
after facing critical situations in several regions, as per intelligence
inputs.
On the direction of a central committee of the banned outfit, its
branches – regional bureaus, state committees and special zonal
committees – have released circulars on the significance of completion
of ten years along with the activities to be carried out during this
period in their respective regions, a senior Intelligence Bureau (IB)
official told PTI. The Maoist Communist Centre (MCC) and People’s War
Group
(PWG) merged to form CPI(Maoist) on September 21, 2004, and since then
they have been observing foundation week every year from September 21 to
27. To thwart the efforts of the Maoists, police is also gearing up to
intensify operations in the LWE (left wing extremism) hit areas.
“We will intensify our operations during this period and would like
to educate the populace about futility of war waged by the Maoists as it
has adversely affected development and peace of the area,” Chhattisgarh
Additional Director
General
of Police (anti-Naxal operations) R K Vij told PTI. “We are well aware
of the situation and have issued necessary instructions to officials in
various regions in this connection. Every suspicious activity is under
scanner,” Vij said. As per the documents received from a Naxal camp
during raids, the preparation for the 10th anniversary scheduled from
September 21 to 30 started three months back.
The restive Abhujmad region (bordering Andhra Pradesh and
Maharashtra) of Dandakaranya Special Zonal Committee, which is
considered a Naxal heartland, may host some big programmes which will
witness the presence of top Maoist leaders, the IB official said. The
celebration has been planned for ten days but they have decided to
extend it, depending upon the conditions, the official said. Publication
of Maoist magazines based on ideological, political and military
concepts of
rebels
and autobiography of their killed leaders are underway. In the absence
of magazines, the Naxals have been asked to bring out at least a
bulletin or souvenir describing the background of movement in their
areas, the official said. Besides, they are also engaged in uniting
Naxal groups to carry out some evil strikes. Expanding base areas,
logistic support base in urban areas and recruitment of fresh cadres are
other tasks to be undertaken on this occasion, he said.
