Fear of Naxal disturbances in Sept keeps police on their toes

The restive Abhujmad region (bordering Andhra Pradesh and Maharashtra) of Dandakaranya Special Zonal Committee, which is considered a Naxal heartland, may host some big programmes which will witness the presence of top Maoist leaders, the IB official said.

The celebration has been planned for ten days but they have decided to extend it, depending upon the conditions, the official said.

Publication of Maoist magazines based on ideological, political and military concepts of rebels and autobiography of their killed leaders are underway.

In the absence of magazines, the Naxals have been asked to bring out at least a bulletin or souvenir describing the background of movement in their areas, the official said.  

Besides, they are also engaged in uniting Naxal groups to carry out some evil strikes. Expanding base areas, logistic support base in urban areas and recruitment of fresh cadres are other tasks to be undertaken on this occasion, he said.  

The tip-off also includes that their friendly NGOs are allegedly extending support for spreading their propaganda in the region during this period, he said.

However, the increasing pressure of security forces inside remote core areas of south Bastar may hinder their evil design during this period, the IB official expressed.  

“Nearly 30 rebels have surrendered and 25 arrested in Bastar region during past one-and-half month which reflects that Maoists are losing their strength and it would not be possible for them to observe its tenth year celebration on a large scale,” the official added.
