LAW AND ORDER

NOTE ON FACTION

Faction is prevalent in Anantapur District especially in Tadipatri and Dharmavaram Sub-Divisions which are bordering Kadapa and Kurnool Districts and partly in Anantapur and Penukonda Sub-Divisions. There are 8 villages under A category, 17 under B, 11 under C and 31 under D category. The political violence in Anantapur district is mostly faction oriented since the faction and politics are interconnected and mix up is inseparable. In some mandals the factionists are resorting to cutting / felling of their opponents orchards. This trend emerged in 1986 particularly between the faction groups of J.C.Diwakar Reddy, MLA, Tadipatri A/C and Late Suryaprathapa Reddy, former MLA. Since then incidents of tree cutting have been going on particularly in Tadipatri, Yellanur, Putlur and Peddapappur Mandals and now this trend is spreading to other parts of the district with alarming note. These incidents of tree cutting causes severe economic destabilization as the gestation period of most of these trees extends over five to seven years for the fruit to be borne by them. The strategy of police in Anantapur District i.e. zero tolerance towards faction has yielded good results and the factional activities / crime in the district has drastically reduced by 95%. The stringent police action put the factionists under total control by adopting a strategy as mentioned below:

NOTE ON EXTREMISM CPI (Maoist) Group was active since early 70s in Anantapur district. There are some traditional strong holds for Maoists like Ramagiri, Kanaganipalli, Uravakonda, and Kuderu Mandals. Lowest rain fall, Poor Industrial growth, rural poverty and agricultural backwardness provided a fertile ground for leftwing extremists to exploit. As a result Maoists enlisted a number of people from backward communities from rural areas. The Maoists cleverly utilized the peace talks period for their numerical as well as logistic improvement. In January 2005 the number of U.G. cadre in Anantapur district is 83 and by the end of the year 2006 it was reduced to zero due to the systematic and sustained measures taken up by the district Police. Strategy adopted: a) Minimizing the recruitment by providing skill based training and employment with assistance of DRDA. b) Pre-empting the agitation propaganda strategy of CPI (Maoists) by counter propaganda c) Pre-emptive strikes and spreading the intelligence network d) Encouraging surrenders and Rehabilitation to the surrendered cadre. e) Neutralizing the militant network. All the top cadre of CPI Maoists of Rayalaseema Division was wiped out in the exchange of fires occurred at Sundupalli and Badvel Police Station limits of Kadapa district in the year 2006. Six Maoists hailing from Anantapur district are working in A.O.B. and other States. Maoists lost their militant base in Anantapur district. Almost all the militants were either arrested or surrendered. However combing operations and area domination exercises are regularly being conducted to check the militancy. Police Station wise militant / surrender / arrested extremist list was supplied to concerned SIs, CIs and SDPOs with instructions to keep a constant watch on their activities and to submit weekly report on the status.

The death of Valluri Venkatarao @ Masthan Rao @ M.R and Ramachandra the Central committee Members in Vijayanagaram and Guntur districts in the year 2009 severely hampered the revival of Maoists activities in Rayalaseema. At present the APCLC, RWA (VIRASAM), OPDR and HRF are working together to unite the people against the proposed Special Economic Zone at Hindupur, Kadiri and Military Test Firing Range at Kambadur PS limits. Latest strategy adopted by the Anantapur Police: The APCLC is trying its level best to revive the Maoists and regained the last grounds in Rayalaseema. The leaders are actively forging alliances with likeminded groups viz. Janasakthi, OPDR, Red flag, Naxalbary North Division, Liberation, etc. and planning to organize joint struggles against the SEZs. In this connection they are recruiting new members without proper vetting. Anantapur Police are concentrating on infiltration into the ranks of all the cover and mass organizations of the left wing extremists. Systematic collection of evidence against the activists who are in Govt. services by secret photography and videography. Exposing the secret cadre working in APCLC, etc. in public and media. Identifying the villages where the APCLC cadre are trying to enlist the people against the Govt. Frequent visits by police officers to such villages, conducting meetings with the village representatives and exposing the ulterior motives of the left wing groups.
