Naxal Maoist Insurgency

Shaken by encounter that killed Chalapathy, 3 Maoists surrender in Chhattisgarh

Three 'hardcore' Maoists, including two women, carrying a combined bounty of Rs 18 lakh, surrendered before police in Gariaband on Monday - the same district where 31 Maoists were gunned down in a single encounter in Bhalludiggi hills last month.
All three were involved in the 72-hour gunfight in Bhalludiggi on Jan 23 this year, in which 16 Maoists - including central committee member Jai Ram alias Chalpathy - were shot dead. Chalpathy is the most senior Maoist commander to be killed in Chhattisgarh.
Surrendered Maoist Dilip, the deputy commander of Nuapada Division Committee, has revealed that insurgents are terrified after the Bhalludigi encounter, especially small-time cadres.
Thirty-one Maoists were killed in the 72-hour gunfight (Jan 20-23), including central committee member Chalapati and division commander Satyam Gavde. The slain Naxals carried a total bounty of over Rs 3 crore. The battle was a massive operation aimed at eliminating Naxal presence in the region
 
Hybrid warfare by Naxals

A man killed during a recent anti-Naxal operation in Madhya Pradesh’s Mandla district was a tribal and not a Maoist, an official said on Saturday.
The man, Hiran Singh Partha (38), belonged to the Baiga community, a Particularly Vulnerable Tribal Group, said officials.
Partha was accompanying Naxalites deep inside a jungle in the Khatiya area of the district, Balaghat Zone Inspector General (IG) of Police Sanjay Kumar told PTI when asked more about his identification.

“How come he was with the Maoists? This is a matter of investigation. Often, Naxalites move with tribals. We can speak about his association (with Naxalites) only after investigation,” he added.

Rudali by Track 2 diplomacy has started on behalf of Naxals

Amit Shah is saying that Maoists will be eliminated by 2026. What is the real strategy behind this? If any man is killed in the name of being a Maoist, it is claimed that the person has a bounty/reward money of 2 lakh, 3 lakh, 4 lakh on his head. It is Adivasi peasants who are killed in this manner, but they are called Maoists. We’ve even heard of 60 lakh and 1.5 crore reward money on people’s heads who have been killed. You kill him and you disburse the reward.

Bob the builder :smash:
When there are gram sabhas with a sarpanch and a secretary—they are supreme, according to the law—why are the paramilitary forces building roads? Give us roads that would take our children to the school and back, roads that would take us to the bazaar and back. But these big roads are not being built for the Adivasis living in the jungles. These roads are meant to establish connection with the mineral-rich hills. After exploiting the hills, extracting the minerals, they will transport them via the big roads.

Dance party! :headache:
You won’t believe, there are people lying dead—Aitu with a 4 lakh reward, Hidma with a 3 lakh reward, Joga with a 2 lakh reward; after killing them the paramilitary forces dance—they get DJs and soundboxes to celebrate. Why? Because of money.

Boot boost to corner Maoists in Abhujmad forest, 2,500 additional security personnel deployed


Around 2,500 additional security personnel have been deployed in the Maoist hotbeds of Chhattisgarh to encircle the rebels inside the Abhujmad forest before stepping up the offensive against them, sources in the security establishment said.
“They have been deployed in the core areas of Abujhmad forest, which was earlier considered an impregnable rebel fortress. Besides, the forces are setting up more forward bases deep inside the Maoist strongholds in the state,” said a security official attached to the Union home ministry.

The CRPF has around 60 battalions in Maoist strongholds, of which 45 are in Chhattisgarh.
Security forces have been using drones for reconnaissance and for taking real-time images of Maoist hotbeds inside the Abhujmad forest, spread over 3,900sqkm in southern Chhattisgarh.

hats off to the Indian government. This is remarkable progress in the last 10 years. 10 years ago i saw the conflict afflicted districts of India and pretty much the entire southern portion of Jharkhand + Northern + North western Orissa + southern half of Chattisgarh was deep red.
Now it seems that Naxalism has been pretty much eradicated from its heartland of Chotanagpur plateau.

Green in this legend isnt terrible, its basically being normal India level of crime plus 3 extra murders or kidnappings a year due to muh Maoism.

Again,this should be taken with caution.....While the military capabilities might have been eradicated, the underlying causes that fermented it still remain.

Historically, they have shown the ability to recoup quickly, especially during the era of weak central government in the early 1990s.

The government under no circumstances should think of reducing the strength of the security forces for at least 10-15 years

Following up with rapid development/mining jobs, urbanization, encouraging employment based migration/scholarships/jobs in MNCs and transplantation of migrants from other parts of India (mixed) will help break the 'us vs them' mentality.

Digital/drone surveillance and camps will help take out 'lone wolves' and recruitment via NGOs, universities, interest groups, etc need to be curtailed as well.

these areas need constant monitoring for atleas 10 years, your suggestion is good, but urbanization there would take about 20 years, they need to expand existing urban area rapidly there to close physical gap b/w urban and rural .
