‘30% tiger reserves under Naxal control

The Naxalites are expanding their tentacles into the tiger territory. Thirty per cent of India’s tiger reserves are already under their control.
Indian forest officials, from the states of Chhattisgarh and Jharkhand, present at the Global Tiger Recovery Programme (GTRP), complained of increasing Naxal infiltration in India’s heartland.
The tiger reserves comprising Valmiki in Bihar, Palamau in Jharkhand, Indravati in Chhattisgarh, Buxa in West Bengal and Simplipal in Orissa are some of the reserves bearing the brunt of the Naxal menace.
“The growing nexus between the Naxals and the timber mafia has created a situation where contractors are openly paying a levy to Naxals who are eating into larger chunks of forest land,” said a senior forester.
Principal chief conservator of forests, Jharkhand, A.K. Malhotra complained, “The situation is getting more intractable because the local administration is not able to reach the interiors. Poachers also have strong links with these Naxals,” he said.
Mr Anil Kumar Mishra, DFO of the Palamau Tiger Reserve was very critical of the lack of NGO activity in the majority of the tiger reserves.
“Large number of NGOs are found operating in high profile Corbett Tiger Reserve and in the Ranthambore park but World Wildlife Fund and other organisations are not to be found in Central India where there is much greater poverty and where tribals are in desperate need of livelihood alternatives,” said Mr Mishra.
NGOs however retort that Naxalites have driven NGOs working in these areas. Sociologist Jaya Roy pointed out, “They don’t want NGOs to organise people.”
Mr Mishra maintains that so far Naxals and foresters have managed to survive only because forest employees and Naxals go out of their way not to step onto each other’s toes. “Our forest guards are local tribals but they are all in their fifties. There has been no recruitment for several years. I have a staff strength of 90 and have to make do with 11 people,” Mr Mishra adde

‘Naxals planning to expand base in South India’


The naxals operating in the State, under the banner of the Communist Party of India (Maoist) Karnataka - CPI (Maoist) K, have stated that they are making preparations to expand their base in the South Indian states.

A letter released to the media by Gangadhar of CPI (Maoist) K on May 16 (in possession of Deccan Herald), notes that they intend to create a new front in Kodagu, Chamarajanagar, the Nilgiris, Satyamangalam and Wyanad areas.

“It is true that we have not been able to spread our roots in South India. But we have not given up and will take the movement forward by beginning a new front at the point of convergence of Karnataka, Tamil Nadu and Kerala.

We will move forward based on our experiences in the Malnad and coastal areas. It will not be possible for the enemy to decimate us. We have people on our side and we will certainly win,” the statement said.

The letter states that it had not been possible for the Centre to ameliorate the people’s problems, even as political parties are mired in internal dissensions, corruption cases and scams. This has led to people losing faith in the system even more. It speaks about how poverty, unemployment, price rise and inflation are pushing the people to penury.

“All this makes it a better time for us to step in and people are calling us from all sides,” says the letter. It claims that the police are committing atrocities on the people through the Anti-Naxal Force in the Malnad and coastal areas.
The police excesses are not known to the outside world, the letter says, adding that the police are threatening to kill tribals entering the jungles to get forest produce. The tribals are being told that they will be killed in an encounter if they do not give information about naxals.

No trace of panchayat vice-president abducted by Naxals

NAGPUR: Security agencies have expressed concern about the safety of kidnapped former vice-president of Dhanora Panchayat Samiti Mehatarsingh Usendi. He had been taken away by Naxals on Saturday night from Murumgaon in Gadchiroli.

It has been more than 72 hours now that there is no trace of Usendi. The Naxals had also abducted two other village headmen with Usendi, and both of them returned the following day. Sarpanch of Pannemara village Murari Halami and his counterpart from Murumgaon, Joharlal Ledia, had promised the Naxals that they would quit from their posts.

Usendi, who was known for his pro-government stance, had already been warned by the Naxals of dire consequences. He had shifted to Murumgaon from his native village of Kulbhatti due to the Naxal threat.

Former vice-president of Bhamragarh panchayat samiti too had been targeted by Naxals at Tadgaon in south Gadchiroli. Lalsu Atram, who had unsuccessfully contested February's civic election, had angered the Naxals by participating in the polls despite their directions not to do so. A senior Congress leader at the local level, Atram had tried to curry favour with the Naxals by contesting as an independent.

The Naxals had eliminated Bhamragarh district president of Congress party Bahadurshah Alam in January. Alam, former chairperson of Bhamragarh zilla parishad, too had been told by the Naxals not to contest the election. He was killed on the day he was to file his nomination for the civic body elections.

Unconfirmed sources also indicate that there was an exchange of fire between Naxals and security forces near Katezari, close to Murumgaon in Dhanora. The gun-battle is learnt to have continued for 20 minutes, without any casualty on either side.

Naxals are an unrecognized country now. They have territory, people and a government. The UN should recognize Naxalstan as a new member in the family of nation states.

Yes, and install you as their ambassador. At least that will keep you away from this trolling on the forum.
 
^ First they ignore the Maoists, then they laugh at the Maoists, then they fight the Maoists, then the Maoists win!

Separatist shutdown, official curbs mar Srinagar life

Life across Srinagar was marred Monday by a separatist shutdown and restrictions imposed by authorities to maintain law and order.

Shops, business establishments, educational institutions and public transport were shut as separatists called for strike to commemorate the death anniversaries of senior Hurriyat leaders Mirwaiz Maulana Muhammad Farooq and Abdul Gani Lone, slain by unidentified assassins on this day in 1990 and 2002 respectively.

Government offices, banks and post offices, however, functioned normally even though attendances were thin because of non-availability of public transport in the city.

The Mirwaiz Umer Farooq-led moderate faction of the Hurriyat has called for a rally at the Eidgah graveyard, but the authorities have imposed restrictions in areas falling under five police stations in the old city.

The police station areas of where pedestrian and vehicular movements have been restricted are Khanyar, Nowhatta, M.R. Gunj, Safa Kadal and Rainawari.

"All bona fide civilian movement is allowed in these areas although an eye is kept on anti-social elements", a senior police officer said here.

A police statement Monday morning said, "In view of yesterday's clashes in the Hurriyat office at Rajbagh, there was an apprehension that clashes could have spilled onto the streets during today's proposed march. As such, this morning, a team of district officers led by the District Magistrate (DM) went to meet Mirwaiz Umer Farooq for facilitation of the proposed march and the rally at Eidgah."

"However, Umer Farooq declined to meet the team. According to the distrioct magistrate, this situation left us with no option but to impose restrictions in some old city areas, to avoid any breach of peace," the police statement added.

Most senior Hurriyat leaders, including Mirwaiz Umer Farooq, Syed Ali Shah Geelani, Shabbir Shah and some others, were placed under house arrest by the police.

No incident has been reported from any trouble-prone areas of the city so far where contingents of police and Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF) have been deployed in strength.
