  • Three special police officers (SPOs) were killed by the Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist) in Chhatisgarh’s Dantewada district on June 191.

    Reports noted that nearly 120,000 Gutti Koya tribals of Bastar and Bijpur districts of Chhattisgarh had reportedly crossed over into Andhra Pradesh’s border district of Khammam over the past six months to escape Salwa Judum camps and the increasing Maoist violence2.

    In other developments, Manohar Parrikar, leader of opposition in the Goa Legislative Assembly charged that Naxalite activities were spreading in the state. He added that there has been an increase of naxal activities over the past 2-3 years and that the naxals from the tribal areas of Jharkhand had links with the CPI (ML), a banned organisation operating in the state. Parihar was chairing the Goa Legislative Assembly Ad-Hoc Committee on Home Affairs3.
