Here-in-below is produced a piece on naxalite activity in Central India including Chhattisgarh:
Naxalites Vs States
Vast tropical forests in India were effectively protected by the wild life and the Princely States in the past before the advent of fire-arms. But the invented firearms helped the human poaching in eliminating the flourishing fauna and increasing the list of endangered and extinct species in wild life.
Simultaneously man's greediness found no bounds while decimating the deep forests over a period of time but thanks to the presence of naxalites in place of wild life that there is some check on this trend unwittingly of course.
Two decades ago when naxalite activities were at the peak in Andhra Pradesh State we literally feared their advance and intrusion into the jungles of Orissa State, Chhattisgarh area of erstwhile Madhya Pradesh State and Jharkhand area of erstwhile Bihar State which had actually taken place to the dismay of all concerned. The solution seems to be elusive of all the preparations and attempts made by the Central Government and the respective State governments so far on the ground. Naxalites are almost running a parallel government in those places and the general public are in their grip willingly or unwillingly. Developmental activities of civilian governments in those areas have taken a beating in the hands of naxalites. God knows when normalcy will return to such territories so that those simple and peace-loving citizens can start leading a normal life like their brethren in other parts of the country.
The central government refuses to send the military forces to contain this menace on the basis of a settled convention practised so far of not sending the troops for an internal law and order problem. But the issue has assumed such a big dimension and proportion that it is only a quesion of a few days or months before the embattled areas are handed over enabling a show-down between the naxalites and the armed forces for a final solution.
