Naxalites moving
to Tamil Nadu, Kerala, claim police
Chikmagalur: Are Naxals, who have attempted to increase their
area
of influence in the state over the last decade or so, giving up and
moving to neighbouring Tamil Nadu and Kerala? If Inspector General of
Police, Amrit Paul is to be believed, Naxals are no longer as active in
Karnataka as in the past mainly owing to lack of support from the
people. Speaking to the Deccan Chronicle, Mr Paul said the Naxals were
now moving to Tamil Nadu and Kerala and the police in both states had
been alerted to this
development.
It was in 2002 that the Naxals, until then mainly confined to
Pavagada, tried to widen their sphere of influence by taking up cudgels
on behalf of the landless in Kalasa, Chikmagalur. In the years that
followed four of the ultras were gunned down by the police and the
government
began to develop villages in and around Kalasa to counter them. But the
locals here warn that the recent eviction of families from inam land in
Kalasa could give the Naxals opportunity to regain support in the area
if the government is not careful. Since the eviction of 3,600 families
from about 6,700 acres of inam land, thousands have been made jobless,
according to them. “These youth could vent their anger by supporting the
Naxals,” they caution.
Maoists terror attack plot in Balaghat foiled
BHOPAL: Madhya Pradesh Police claimed to have foiled Maoists plot of
terror attack in Balaghat on Independence Day by recovering a cache of
explosives from Kirnapur and Mataghat area. While an IED and two
condenser wires were recovered and defused near a bridge in Kirnapur
area, a dump of three hand grenades, four packets of improvised
explosives, country made pistol, condenser wires, a grenade tube
launcher, gun powders and Maoist literatures were found in Mataghat
forest region in Lanji.
These seizures were made during a joint search operation by Hawk
force and CRPF after inputs that former local guerrilla squad (LGS)
commander Dilip was camping in the region. Dilip is wanted in more than
30 cases, including murder of Likhiram Kawre, who was transport minister
in undivided Madhya Pradesh. Kawre was hacked to death in 1999 at his
native village in Sonepuri.
An alert was sounded in the same area in August 2013 after 14 members
of Tanda Dalam were spotted ahead of a mega Congress rally, where top
leaders, including Congress general secretary Digvijay Singh, Union
minister Kamal Nath, Kantilal Bhuria and Ajay Singh were to appear. In
March 2014, armed forces searched Mandai forest area on Chilpi road
bordering Chhattisgarh on Tuesday and recovered an iron container, two
batteries (12 volt), an electronic detonator, TNT 18.700 kg, 1 kg glass
pieces, six kg urea, 22 feet electric wire and naxal pamphlets. In
February also, police had seized huge quantities of explosives in
Katema-Kattipar forest area of the district during
a search followed by intelligence inputs that hundreds of guerrillas had infiltrated into Balaghat.
Security has been beefed up in all the sensitive places across
Chhattisgarh, particularly in the Naxal-hit areas, in the view of
Independence Day celebrations on Friday police said. Tight security is
being maintained across the state particularly in the insurgency-hit
Bastar region to avoid any disturbances by the red rebels during I-day
celebrations, a senior police official told PTI. Armed guards have been
deployed at all the important government establishments. Additional
security arrangements have been made at each district headquarters of
Bastar division, comprising Sukma, Dantewada, Bijapur, Narayanpur,
Kondagaon, Kanker and Bastar, he added. Besides, patrolling has been
intensified in the interior forest pockets and inter-state borders to
check suspicious movements, he said.

August 15, Maoists celebrate Black Day in protest against the alleged
failure of the government in developing the tribal area. According to
sources, Maoists along with their hundreds of supporters assembled in
the thick forests of Marigeta in Kalimela police limits in the district
on Sunday and urged the villagers to cooperate during the observation of
Black Day.
“After the meeting, the Maoists took out a rally from Marigeta to
Bodigeta raising anti-government slogans. Also, in the meeting the
Maoists demanded the withdrawal of central forces from the area and the
release of innocent tribals who have been jailed on false Naxal cases,” a
source at Kalimela said. Police said the developments were being
monitored closely and all necessary security arrangements had been made
to thwart any possible Maoist violence. “Keeping in view the Maoists’
observation of Black Day on August 15, elaborate security arrangements
have been made across the district. Additional forces have been deployed
at a few sensitive areas,” said Malkangiri SP Akhileswar Singh.
