Inspector-In-Charge Siba Ram Nayak. Earlier also the Maoists had killed two persons in this village in similar fashion. A few days back the Maoists had killed an assistant (Supervisor) of a contractor after branding him as police informer at Sambalpur village near Kundei under Raighar block. Meanwhile, in the wee hours of Monday about 50 to 60 armed Maoists barged into Godamkonda village under Kalimela block in Malkangiri district and triggered a landmine blast to extensively damage the SC and ST Girl's High School. The teachers present were asked to go out and after that the Maoists blasted the building. Three rooms were completely destroyed in the explosion. The Maoists also felled eight huge trees in Govindapalli Ghat due to which communications between Malakangiri and Jeypore in Koraput district have been disrupted since morning. Some posters have been put up neat the spot which stated this has been done to protest the visit of US President Barack Obama. The BSF and the police are moving about in the area cautiously as they fear landmines might have been planted on the road to target them. Efforts are being made to remove the blockade as soon as possible, said SDPO Avinash Kumar. In another incident the Similiguda police arrested two Maoist sympathisers near a culvert at Dudhari, about 30 km from the Koraput district headquarters. District Superintendent of Police Anup Kumar Sahu informed that two youth Suraj Desari (25) and Raiman Sisa (17) were waiting near a culvert at Dudhari near Semiliguda to receive explosive material from a contractor for being supplied to the Maoists. Getting information from some reliable source the police headed by Semiliguda PS IIC, Sarat Kumar Sahu rushed to the spot and arrested these youth who started to run away seeing the police vehicle. On investigation they revealed that on the direction of Maiost leader Ghasi they were engaged in receiving the explosive material from a contractor. The SP informed Raiman Sisa(17) was a Class IX student of Renga high school, police sources said. "Semiliguda Police seized one Bolero jeep bearing number OR 10B 1447, 206 gelatin sticks, 50 detonators and around one quintal explosive material from the Maoists and further investigation are going on" said the SP. In another incident in Sundargarh district, the CRPF and Special Operations Group during combing operations in the Saranda jungle arrested four Maoists ands seized four landmines and some explosive material. Similarly, in Keonjhar district two Maoists were arrested in Keonjhar district and a gun and some explosives were seized. (Pioneer, 09/11/2010) NDFB massacres 15 in separate attacks In what has been called revenge killing, the outlawed National Democratic Front of Bodoland on Monday massacred at least 15 people, mostly Hindi and Bengali speaking, in four separate attacks in Northern Assam’s Sonitpur district. The incident came close on the heels of killing of a hardcore NDFB rebel in an encounter by security forces in the same district on Monday morning. The outfit in a categorical threat had warned to retaliate the killing of every NDFB militant by security forces by killing 20 civilians. Security forces had killed one NDFB cadre Maheswar Basumatary in Batasipur area of Sonitpur district earlier on Monday and the killing spree by the outfit is being seen as a move to avenge it. In the first incident near Arunachal Pradesh border, at least seven passengers of an Arunachal Pradesh-bound bus were gunned down by NDFB militants at Doimara, under Itakhola police outpost, at about 4.45 pm. The bus was going from Tezpur to Seijosa, in Arunachal’s East Kameng district. Security sources said that heavily armed NDFB rebels opened fire on the bus, forcing the driver to bring it to a halt. The militants then separated the Hindi-speaking, Arunachal government employees in the bus and herded them few metres away from the bus and shot them down. Seven bodies were recovered from the spot, the police said. The second incident took place near Batashipur railway station in the same district. Six heavily armed NDFB rebels came on a motorcycle and opened indiscriminate fire on a passenger bus killing five people, including a woman, on the spot. In a similar offensive, NDFB rebels shot at two Assamese people who were said to have succumbed to the bullet injuries while on way to hospital. The fourth incident was reported from Tamulpur in Bakhsa district where heavily armed NDFB militant entered the house of Mohan Das and gunned down two male members of the family and wounded three others. Security sources referring the eyewitness accounts of the first incident said that victims were identified before being gunned down by NDFB rebels. Meanwhile, two powerful bombs were recovered from a Guwahati-bound bus at Amingaon area, on the outskirts of Guwahati. The killing spree is being seen as execution of a warning by the NDFB on November one that the outfit will kill 20 “Indian” civilians and security forces to avenge death of any innocent Bodo in “fake encounters”. In an emailed statement to the media, NDFB ‘deputy chief’ self-styled lieutenant B. Jwngkhang had said, “From today onwards, if any innocent Bodo/NDFB cadres is killed in the name of fake encounters, then the Boroland Army, NDFB, will take action against any Indian.” The NDFB offensive has also caught the security force off guard as they underestimated the threat of NDFB rebels having domination in Northern Assam’s Sonitpur district where the mayhem took place.

(Pioneer, 1`0/11/2010) Maoist arrested from Trinamool leader's car A Maoist was on Tuesday arrested from a car of a local Trinamool Congress leader in West Midnapore district, providing further ammunition to CPI (M) to attack TMC for having an alleged nexus with the Naxals. Acting on a tip off, the joint forces intercepted the car of Trinamool's Salboni block president Nepal Singh at Patharkumkumi and arrested an alleged Maoist squad member Kanchan Deb Singh, Superintendent of Police Manoj Kumar Verma said. Singh, who belongs to Madhupur area under Salboni police station, already faces charges of murder and arson, he said. "There are at least 15 to 20 cases against Singh, including double and triple murders. He was also responsible for the destruction of Kalaimuri camp of the joint forces, last year," Verma said. His brother Hemant Deb Singh, a Maoist squad member, was killed in an encounter with the joint forces last year, the SP said. Trinamool District President Pranab Basu, however, disputed the claim of the police that Singh was a Maoist. He claimed that Singh, who was earlier arrested by the Assam police, was on bail and had left the ultra camp. The accused was being driven to a meeting by Nepal Singh, when he wasv arrested, he said. "He is not a criminal now and was arrested by mistake by the police," Basu said. (IE, 10/11/2010) Joining ‘Jensena’ is only way to save your lives! Despite the tall claim of the Jharkhand Police and Central Reserve Police Force, outlawed CPI(Maoist) again proved their strong presence by pasting hundreds of ‘Naxal Posters’ in town at Tupkadih under Jaridhh police station about 15 kms from Bokaro district headquarters on Wednesday night. Opposing the operation ‘Green Hunt’ and branding as a heinous act, Naxal given a strong threat (through the posters) to cops and common people and asked them to join hands with their party- Jansena. “Joining Jensena is the only way — to save their lives”— written on the posters. According to the local resident about hundred of extremists came in the Wednesday midnight and pasted posters in the mid town. “Early morning we saw the posters,” said a resident. Though it’s only in the last few months that the brutality of Naxal violence has become evident in a big way, the fact is that more people have been dying to the bullets of Maoists every year in India than terrorists ever killed in any single year. In the year between 2004 and 2008, the Naxalites had killed about 500 civilians every year which rose to 591 in 2009. In just the first six months of this year, 325 civilians have been killed in Naxal violence. And despite the government’s best efforts, the Naxalite groups only seem to be gaining in strength and spreading out to new areas, official sources told. According to the Minister of State for Home Affairs’ records - A total of 577 civilians have been killed while more than 260 security forces personnel lost their lives across the country in naxal violence this year. During the same period, 137 Maoists were killed with the maximum of them in Chhattisgarh (72) followed by West Bengal (37) and Jharkhand (12). The maximum number of civilians was killed in West Bengal (185), Chhattisgarh (143), Jharkhand (112) and Bihar (48) amongst others. Chhattisgarh accounted for the maximum number of casualties for security forces personnel with 163 casualties, while West Bengal (34) and Jharkhand (22) were the other states where the forces lost the most number of their troops.
