Naxal Maoist Insurgency

IED alert sounded as threat spikes with new camps in core areas

An alert has been sounded in the anti-Naxal operations theatre of Chhattisgarh and Jharkhand following a “spike” in IED blasts and recoveries, including that of a device rigged with beer bottles and a small antenna for remote control explosion, officials said.
The analysis report states that during 2020-22, IEDs were being planted by Naxals in a 3-7 km radius of a security camp which are now being found (2023-24) at less than 3 km near CRPF or other forces camps to kill and injure them.
More than 70 FOBs have been opened by the forces in the two states over the last over an year, the maximum being erected by the CRPF as it remains the lead force for anti-Naxal operations.

Land, financial aid to victims: Chhattisgarh rolls out new ‘surrender’ policy for Maoists

Land to civilian victims of Maoist violence and increased compensation for the kin of those killed while assisting in anti-Naxalite operations are part of the new rehabilitation policy recently cleared by the Chhattisgarh cabinet, an official said.

The `Chhattisgarh Naxal Surrender/Victim Relief and Rehabilitation Policy-2025' aims at providing higher compensation, free education, healthcare facilities and job opportunities to victims of Naxal violence.
Compensation given in the case of death of 'gopniya sainik' (informers) specially assisting police in anti-Naxalite operations has been increased from Rs 5 lakh to Rs 10 lakh (over and above the compensation payable under central schemes).

Similarly, compensation given in the case of permanent disability to such a person has been hiked to Rs 5 lakh from Rs 3 lakh, the official said, citing the draft of the new policy.

In case of murder, serious injury or permanent disability to civilians, the victims or families will be provided 1.5 hectares of agricultural land or 4 decimal (1,742 sq ft) of residential land in urban areas. In case land could not be made available, financial assistance of Rs 4 lakh will be given to victims in rural areas and Rs 8 lakh in urban areas, the official said
In cases of death of civilians, if a government job cannot be provided to a family member, an assistance of Rs 15 lakh will be paid (Rs 10 lakh to spouse-children and Rs 5 lakh to parents).

The government has also introduced special employment schemes for people affected by Naxal violence.

If a victim secures a private sector job, the government will pay 40 per cent of the salary for five years, with a cap of Rs 5 lakh per year, he said.
