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.

Maoists to observe Black Day on August 15
KORAPUT: With Independence Day only three days away, Maoists in Malkangiri district are gearing to observe it as Black Day. Each year on 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.
