The Toll of Maoist Insurgency

Maoist violence seems to be increasing in terms of both number and lethality of attacks. These escalations are taking place despite the ongoing Operation Green Hunt: a 'coordinated and joint action' by central government paramilitary and state police forces which began in November 2009 in affected states (MHA, 2010a, p. 6).

The number of casualties caused by Maoist activities has increased in recent years (see Figure 6) to 896 dead in 2009, of whom 392 were civilians (SATP, 2009b).
