Context

This data was extracted from the following paragraph of the newspaper clippings.

Seconding the Andhra Pradesh (AP) model of dealing with Naxalism [Left Wing Extremism (LWE)], Union Home Minister P Chidambaram has asked the paramilitary top brass to identify the leaders set-up of Naxal outfits and undertake operations to cripple the movement of LWE, reports The Pioneer. In a meeting with Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF) top brass recently, Chidambaram argued that cadre can be recruited overnight but leaders cannot be made and urged the paramilitary to arrest Naxal leaders like Kishan Da of West Bengal, Sabyasachi Panda of Odisha and Kundan Pahan of Jharkhand. The effort should be to build the atmosphere of confidence amongst public, disrupt the movement and roll it back to the level possible, Chidambaram told the officials at the operations conference of the CRPF. The Home Minister said the AP model of dealing with Naxalism was right as the State Police targeted senior leaders of the Naxal outfits. The Security Forces (SFs) have so far eliminated top Naxal leaders like Cherukuri Rajkumar alias Azad and Mallojula Koteshwar Rao alias Kishanji. The level of violence in the Naxal-affected States has come down as a whole. The trend as of now is a significant let-up in situation in Chhattisgarh and West Bengal, increase in violence levels in Jharkhand and Maharashtra and status quo in the situation of Bihar and Odisha. The job is far from over, not even half done, Chidambaram said. In Chhattisgarh, the situation has improved but the Bastar region remains sensitive for being the epicentre of Naxal activities. In Odisha, Malkangiri and Koraput continue to be the hotbed of Naxalism whereas in West Bengal, Junglemahal is the centre of problem.
