by the CPI (Maoist) have come to notice. ‘Police’ and ‘Public Order’ being State subjects, action with
respect to maintenance of law and order lies primarily in the domain of the concerned State Governments,
who deal with the various issues related to Left Wing Extremism. The Government of India issues advisories
to the State Governments from time to time, on relevant issues. On the recommendations of Second
Administrative Reforms Commission, the Ministry of Mines has advised the State Governments to establish
special anti-extortion and anti-money laundering cells to prevent nexus between illegal mining/forest
mafia, transporters and extremists.
