Deaths from Naxal attacks might have decreased, but they have expanded their presence, & areas of operation within India.
I don't think we have anything to worry about as long as the number of incidents are decreasing.
Besindes, decreasing incidents also mean that more and more people are getting arrested which obviously implies that the problem is on its way down, not up.
While decreasing incidents is good, more and more Maoists getting arrested from different parts of India (where there was no Maoist presence before) is a dangerous sign, as it shows (the shifting from their traditional strongholds to) their increasing influence of Maoists in different parts of India, including the South & North East:
The Hindu : States / Kerala : Maoists find tri-junction a safe haven
The ruling classes tremble: Maoists expand influence in Northeast India « Revolution in South Asia
More and more Maoists getting arrested can also show that their recruiting power & their 'ideology' is strong.

Shillong: A police constable was killed and three others were injured ina an attack by a mixed group of militants near Gasuapara in South Garo Hills border on Tuesday night, police informed on Wednesday.
A police official said that four police constables who were patrolling on foot were fired upon from a hillock by a mixed group of militants at around 11:40 pm on Tuesday.
While constable Pearson Sangma was killed in the firing, three other cops identified as Gopal Rai, Jopline Kharkongor and Dilip Marak sustained injuries.
Constable Kharkongor, who sustained minor injury was discharged after initial treatment, while the two others are undergoing treatment at GNRC, Guwahati. There was no report of any injury on the militants’ side.
Police are yet to ascertain which militant group was involved in the attack.
There is presence of both GNLA and ULFA in the bordering areas of Gasuapara where the incident took place.
Police have denied rumours that the constables were attacked in a case of mistaken identity by another group of armed constables on duty.
Questions are also being raised on how the four policemen, who are engaged in anti-insurgency operations, went patrolling on foot at night, that too, in a remote area of the district without the assistance of either members of SWAT of Meghalaya police and CoBRA unit of the CRPF.

There should be a separate thread for such incidents which are related to occupied Kashmir region.
