While the security province of affairs has been good managed, the Governments – State in addition to Union – regrettably failed to ensure farther in addition to noticeable developments on the Framework Agreement through 2017. An attempt was made to farther widen the talks, with the Government reaching out to groups beyond NSCN-IM. Three rounds of talks were held betwixt the Government of Republic of Republic of India (GoI) in addition to the Working Committee of the Naga National Political Groups (NNPG), a grouping of vi armed Naga militant formations, inwards 2017: September 27, 2017; Oct 23, 2017; in addition to Nov 1-3, 2017.
The Government of Republic of Republic of India (GoI) in addition to NSCN-IM signed a Framework Agreement inwards 2015; at that topographic point was a mutual reiteration via a communiqué inwards 2016. Though the details of the understanding are non inwards the world domain, inwards a tilt titled “Indo-Naga Political talks is nearing its logical conclusions” released on May 10, 2017, NSCN-IM’s ‘Ministry of Information in addition to Publicity’ observed,
As of now, the Nagas receive got agreed to co-exist together nether shared sovereignty. The ongoing Indo-Naga political talks are progressing smoothly. The Framework Agreement, which volition ensure peaceful coexistence betwixt the Nagas in addition to Republic of Republic of India with shared sovereignty, volition certainly usher inwards peace in addition to a brighter political era for the Nagas."
Clarifying the Government’s position, Union Minister of State for Home Affairs Kiren Rijiju stated, on March 2, 2018,
Let me arrive clear. We had signed the Framework Agreement inwards 2015 in addition to the Framework Agreement is zippo detailed it is exactly a confidence edifice step. And the framework on the footing of which the verbalise was to progress. Because the verbalise has to progress on footing of sure understanding similar at that topographic point were demands for sovereign patch for Nagas in addition to all. These are totally unconstitutional with regards to our topographic point in addition to of course of study topographic point of India, thus at that topographic point are sure parameters which were required to (be) clear(ed) upward earlier nosotros clear upward the talk. So it was a Framework agreement. But when in addition to every bit nosotros displace y'all know nosotros displace ahead for lastly settlement that volition live known every bit the accord the lastly Naga Accord. While nosotros are inwards lastly stage of the peace talk, it volition non live proper for me to divulge the details because I am also the concerned relevant Minister inwards the process.

That is the argue they did non attempt whatever hit inwards the sew together to elections,” a study dated Feb 28, 2018, quoting an unnamed official, claimed.

The number of the ‘solution’ to the Naga conflict continued to linger through 2017 in addition to remains a move past times priority. Indeed, during the election campaign, the right away newly sworn-in Chief Minister Neiphiu Rio had promised the electorate, “The Naga number is a political number in addition to my political party volition ensure that it is resolved at the earliest”.
The occupation of insecurity along the international edge remains. Influenza A virus subtype H5N1 215 kilometers-long unfenced subdivision of the Indo-Myanmar edge remains a n expanse of difficulty in addition to the ‘last remaining hub’ of militancy inwards the region. In a worrying development, according to a March 4, 2018, report, Myanmar has indefinitely deferred the signing of a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with Republic of Republic of India to streamline the gratuitous displace of people within a xvi kilometers expanse along the border, citing “domestic compulsions”.

Not surprisingly, Naxal (LWE)-linked violence has remained nether banking company check correct since the formation of the State. Telangana has recorded vii civilian deaths till date: 2 each inwards 2014, 2015 in addition to 2017; in addition to 1 fatality inwards the electrical flow year. No such fatality was recorded through 2016. Most recently, on Jan 27, 2018, CPI-Maoist cadres killed P. Jogaiah, a former Maoist cadre, suspecting him of beingness a 'Police informer', inwards Veerapuram hamlet of Bhadradri Kothagudem District.
Other parameters of violence also dot a progressive weakening of the LWE movement. Overall Naxal-linked violence has been declining. According to the Union Ministry of Home Affairs (UMHA), Telangana accounted for 5 incidents inwards 2017 every bit against vii inwards 2016, eleven inwards 2015, in addition to fourteen inwards 2014. Only 1 incident of arson was recorded inwards 2017, every bit against 2 such incidents reported inwards 2016

According to SATP data, LWE-related incidents of violence were reported from 5 Districts (Bhadradri Kothagudem, Jayashankar Bhupalpally, Khammam, Mahabubabad, in addition to Suryapet) inwards 2017. In 2016, vehement incidents were reported from nine Districts (Adilabad, Bhadradri Kothagudem, Jayashankar Bhupalpally, Khammam, Mehboobnagar, Nalgonda, Nirmal, Rajanna Sircilla in addition to Warangal).
Some worries, nevertheless, persist. Influenza A virus subtype H5N1 March 22, 2017, study indicated that the CPI-Maoist leadership, patch taking stock of losses suffered inwards encounters along the Telangana-Chhattisgarh border, planned to recruit novel cadres in addition to couriers, offering huge amounts, in addition to had started recruitment close the edge region. The Maoists were focusing especially on Guttikoyas (a scheduled tribal community hailing from Chhattisgarh, who had escaped from the conflict zone inwards Chhattisgarh in addition to settled inwards the edge villages of the Khammam in addition to Warangal Districts inwards Telangana), every bit good every bit unemployed tribals.
Citing intelligence inputs on possible Maoist attacks on 3 irrigation projects inwards Telangana, the UMHA deployed 3 companies of the Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF) for their protection; 1 at the Kaleswaram Lift Irrigation Project at Medigadda inwards Karimnagar District; a instant at the Tupakulagudem Barrage; in addition to the 3rd ready for deployment inwards the Adilabad or Khammam District, depending on emerging requirements.
A July 31, 2017, study disclosed farther that the ‘Telangana State Committee (TSC)’ of the CPI-Maoist party, with the Adilabad District Committee, Khammam District Committee, Khammam-Karimnagar-Warangal Divisional Committee, a Special Guerrilla Squad in addition to 92 cadres (18 are from the State in addition to the remaining 74 from Chhattisgarh), had been tasked to intensify activities inwards the Andhra-Odisha Border (AOB) part every bit well.

Of these 106 Districts, 35 from vii States were categorized every bit ‘worst LWE affected Districts’. Khammam inwards Telangana is alongside these ‘worst’ Districts. Telangana has a full of 31 Districts.
The State’s successes against the Maoists notwithstanding, meaning problems rest at the policy level. At to the lowest degree 16,044 Police posts were vacant inwards the State every bit on Jan 1, 2017, against a sanctioned strength of 63,064, a deficit of 25.44 per cent, according to the latest information provided past times the Bureau of Police Research in addition to Development [BPR&D]. Moreover, against the sanctioned strength of the apex Indian Police Service (IPS) Officers inwards the State at 139, exactly 97 officers were inwards position, considerably weakening decision-making inwards the Force. The police-population ratio (Policemen per hundred yard population) inwards the State was 130.71 per 100,000, fifty-fifty lower than the appallingly depression national average of 137.11 [over 220 Policemen per 100,000 population are considered necessary fifty-fifty for ‘peacetime policing’], according to BPR&D, every bit on Jan 1, 2016 [Disaggregated information of population/area for Andhra Pradesh & Telangana non available for 2017].
Anxious efforts past times the Maoists to engineer a revival inwards their quondam areas of authorisation inwards Telangana, the worst affected part at 1 fourth dimension inwards the quondam united Andhra Pradesh, receive got failed abysmally. However, their balance capacities cannot live but ignored. With meaning areas of Maoist authorisation inwards neighbouring areas of Chhattisgarh in addition to Odisha, vulnerabilities persist, in addition to at that topographic point is urgent demand to address existing lacunae.
