NAXALISM : PERILS IN CHHATTISGARH

Chattisgarh continues to be the major state with large scale Naxalite activities. The current year will see continuance of killings in the area.
Institutionalization of the militancy in the affected states including Madhya Pradesh (MP) is evident with arms manufacturing and running streamlined between states.
Surrender policy by various police agencies in the states needs to be effectively rationalized to gain from this strategy of bringing militants into the main stream.
The environmental damage from anti Naxalite activities needs to be controlled as felling of 75,000 trees in Chattisgarh is inexcusable. |

Status Paper on the Naxal Problem "“ Tabled by The Union Home Minister Shivraj Patil on 13 March 2006 in Parliament.
1.INTRODUCTION
1.1The Naxalite movement continues to persist in terms of spatial spread, intensity of violence, mlitarisation and consolidation, ominous linkages with subversive/secessionist groups and increased efforts to elicit mass support. The naxalites operate in vacuum created by absence of administrative and political institutions, espouse the local demands and take advantage of the disenchantment prevalent among the exploited segments of the population and seek to offer an alternative system of governance which promises emancipation of these segments from the clutches of "˜exploiter"™ classes through the barrel of a gun. |

Counter Naxal Strategy
The overall government policy to counter Naxalism was recently laid out in the Parliament by the Home Minister Mr Shivraj Patil stating, "œKeeping in view that Naxalism is not only a law-and-order problem, the policy of the government is to address this menace simultaneously on political, security, development and public-perception management fronts in a holistic manner." Naxalism is spread across the expanse of Central and parts of Eastern and Southern India. Being defused across more than 11 states, strategies to counter Naxalism have been state specific. Given the difference in perception of the threat and lack of effective law and order execution machinery in the rural areas which is the Naxal base, varied strategies have been followed across the country. As DG, CRPF, Mr Syed I Sultan Ahmed states, the terrain, local issues and public responses implies that strategies have to adopted based on local conditions. |
