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:

frequent visits to factious villages, conducting cordon and search operations, organizing Palle

Nidra by all ranks of police in faction ridden villages, regulating belt shops, posting of armed

running of belt shops, organizing matka, gambling, forcible collection of good will in the

tenders, illegal panchayats and illegal quarrying etc. Such activities are curbed

3. Palle Nidra : SDPOs / CIs / SIs are instructed to make their night halts on priority to the

categorized villages (SDPOs twice in a month, Inspectors thrice in a month, SIs once in a

week). SDPOs, CIs & SIs of the faction areas are visiting all the faction villages and also

politically sensitive villages, interacting with public during their night halts and preparing

status reports on each village. Analyzing the information and assessing the overall

situation in the light of changing political equations and changing financial status of the

influential persons in the villages is systematically being done periodically.

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.

Cover organizations :-

Activities of prominent APCLC leaders of Anantapur district are being kept under

watch. Mass / Cover organizations of CPI Maoists like VIRASAM, RPS are dormant.

of “Missamma Nirvasitula Sangam” against the displacement of Missamma colony in

Anantapur town since 2008. The sitting MLA, Sri Gurunath Reddy, Anantapur A/C and

his brothers purchased the land from the owners of the above disputed land.

Sangam of Janasakthi is playing a crucial role in uniting people, identifying active cadre

in launching agitational programmes in Penukonda, Hindupur, Kalyandurg areas. He

became a rallying point for the erstwhile Janasakthi militants and sympathizers of

Somandepalli, Anantapur mandals.

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

22

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.
