country is very vast and insurgency is not a new phenomenon in the country but of late many parts of the nation are in the grip of naxalite violence who are openly challenging the authority of the state and are virtually running parallel governments in some parts of the country the naxalities who are mostly the youth are known by different names such as naxalites, peoples war group (pwg), maoists, leninist-maoists, etc are active on a substantial scale in chhattisgarh, jharkhand, parts of andhra pradesh, orissa, maharashtra, bihar, madhya pradesh, uttar pradesh, west bengal, karnataka, tamil nadu etc apart from the insurgents in north-east the naxalities are killing thousands of innocent people, policemen, personnel of paramilitary and armed forces just to create panic they torch or blow up houses, shops and other establishments they kidnap people for ransom and hang many after conducting people court they even loot the police stations their weapons and blow them up with police personnel the naxalites indulge in extortions, collect illegal taxes and in the naxalite occupied areas people ramain indoors after the sunsetthough, many precious lives are lost due to acts of violence of the naxalities but the victims are not duly compensated by the states a paltry amount is given to the victims that too with much hassles the families of people losing lives are not taken care of nor those who are critically injured or losing their houses livestock, crops, business establishments, etc in a democratic country like ours, it is the sacred duty of the state to protect the life and property of its citizens and eliminate the extremists if the state fails in its duty, then the affected citizens have to be duly compensated by the state the youth join these outfits of variety of reasons and they have to be brought back to the mainstream of the nation by giving them amnesty, employment opportunities and incentives and suitable rehabilitation but those defying, despite best efforts, should be eliminated under a national policyhence, this billrajeev chandrasekhar financial memorandumclause 3 of the bill provides for payment of compensation to the family of
