Martyr’s week
Maoists take out rally on Andhra-Odisha border
The Pedabayalu Area Committee of the CPI (Maoist) organised a meeting on the Andhra-Odisha border on July 28, the first day of the Martyrs’ Week, according to delayed reports reaching here. People in hundreds from nearby villages took out a rally and paid tributes at the memorials of the party members Narender, Mahander, Sharat, Ganapathi, Laalu, Jogal and Sonu. Leaders of Adivasi Viplaval Rytu Coolie Sangham and Adivasi Viplava Mahila Sangham addressed the villagers. They also paid tributes to founder member of Virasam Chalasani Prasad who died a few days ago. Secretary of the Pedabayalu Area Committee Manganna said the villagers also donated cash and rice to be distributed to the families of martyrs. Manyam Pithuri Sena and People’s Liberation Guerrilla Army also took part in the meeting.On high alert
The police in Warangal district are gathering intelligence from informers in villages, patrolling in plains clothes and combing the forest area which host the armed cadre of Maoist party. Police in once naxal affected districts of Warangal, Karimnagar and Nizamabad are on high alert keeping a close watch on possible Maoist activities. There is an armed squad movement in Warangal district unlike in the past but definitely the naxal movement is completely out yet. Increased vigilance and intensive combing operations by the police drove out the armed naxals from the district into neighbouring districts and States. Two months ago, there was input that some naxals were seen moving in Parkal and Bhupalpalli area but they were proved wrong.
The police in Warangal district are gathering intelligence from informers in villages, patrolling in plains clothes and combing the forest area which play host to the armed cadre of Maoist party. Recently, some student unions organised a memorial meeting of slain naxalite Vivek on Kakatiya University campus which only indicates that there are sympathisers for the movement still. Karimnagar police have been put on high alert following the Maoists conducting the martyrs’ memorial week. Though, there is no presence of Maoist naxalites, the district police have intensified area domination and combing operations all along the borders of the district with Chhattisgarh.
They said that the naxalites had last conducted an offence of conducting praja court in Mukunuru village of Mahadevpur mandal in December 2014 and thrashed some upper caste community persons for their alleged anti-dalit activities in the village. During the period, around 30 armed naxalites visited the village and conducted the praja court for over five hours and later retreated to neighbouring State. Similarly, in January this year, the naxalites had sent threatening letters to elected representatives of Kataram mandal to mend their ways and stop harassing dalits. Nizamabad, once the citadel for the naxalite movement has been quite peaceful since one decade. Now it can be said that there are no signs of movements of naxalites.

Barring a couple of incidents of poster pasting on walls in the name of Maoists here and there the naxalite activities came to a grinding halt. Wall posters appeared in villages mostly in Sirikonda, Darpally, Machareddy, Kammarpally, Domakonda and Kamareddi mandal which are located on the border of Karimnagar and Medak district some time back. At certain other places largely in Kamareddi area posters used to appear in the name of CPI (ML)-Janashakti. However, the police took into custody a few activists and registered cases against them. However, two three underA group of armed naxalites has reportedly been sighted.
For reasons best known to them, the Maoists seem to be unable to shun Adilabad or other North Telangana districts as their support base despite suffering tremendous losses in the past in the form of encounter deaths of their top leaders and surrender of numerous cadres. A 20 to 25 member strong dalam of armed naxalites has reportedly been sighted in the villages in Vaipet forest area of Indervelli mandal of Adilabad and another handful of them at Parkal and Bhupalpalli of Warangal and a few places in Nizamabad in the last few weeks.
The presence of the band of the outlawed organisation gains significance in view of the ongoing Maoist Martyrs Week across the country’s naxal-influenced areas. “There however, is little chance of them creating law and order problem in the North Telangana districts under prevailing conditions which are not at all favourable for them to thrive,” opined a police officer associated with anti naxal operations, as he dismissed the perceived threat posed by the Maoist band. Khammam on the southern tip of the State is where the activities of Maoists seem to be concentrated, much of it being spill over from the neighbouring Chhattisgarh. In the recent months, the naxals seem to have confined their activities to torching property and warning public representatives through posters.
Banners, purportedly written by Mylarapu Adellu alias Bhaskar, Maoist Divisional Committee Member and Atram Shobhan alias Charles, Area Committee Member, sprung up in Tiryani and Somwarpet in Khanapur exhorting people to participate in the Martyrs Week. Arguably, the Communist Party of India (Maoist) is organisationally in a bad shape in North Telangana. An eerie calm prevails in Khammam especially in the remote tribal pockets of Bhadrachalam division spread across the long inter-State border with both Chhattisgarh and Andhra Pradesh with the Maoists making renewed attempts to spread their activities and the police stepping up anti-Maoist operations in border areas.
After suffering a setback with the surrender of two district level senior Maoist cadres including Sukhdev, the district special guerrilla squad in-charge, a few months ago, the rebels have focussed their attention on reviving their foothold and expanding their base in Bhadrachalam Agency. The Bhadrachalam sub-division police have stepped up vigil at the santhas (weekly markets) at Nalabelli and Paidigudem in Dummugudem mandal frequented by Adivasis from the remote tribal pockets situated on either side of the inter-State borders. Adilabad for one, accounts for the death of 155 Maoists including top notch figures like the Maoist Central Committee member Cherukuri Rajkumar alias Azad and surrender of 259 cadres since the first encounter took place in 1989.
In Warangal, increased vigilance and intensive combing operations by the police drove out the armed naxals from the district into neighbouring state. For the past few years, there has been no disruptive activity by the naxalites in the district what with the police being in a high state of alert. The only aberration was the recent memorial meeting organized by students unions for the slain naxalite Vivek on Kakatiya University campus. In view of the martyrs’ week celebrations of Maoist party, the district police alerted all those on naxalite target. In Karimnagar, the successful conduct of Godavari Pushkaralu just before the start of Martyrs Week is a proof of the naxalites being neutralised by and large. The last time that the naxalites had last conducted an offence of conducting praja court in Mukunuru village of Mahadevpur mandal was in December 2014.
A group of 30 armed naxalites visited the village and conducted the praja court for over five hours and later retreated to neighbouring state. Barring a couple of incidents of poster pasting on walls in the name of Maoists here and there, the naxalite activities came to a grinding halt. Wall posters appeared in villages mostly in Sirikonda, Dharpally, Machareddy, Kammarpally, Domakonda and Kamareddi mandal which are located on the border of Karimnagar and Medak district some time back.ground activists from the district are still working in the Dandakaranya dalams.
