In our 2nd phase of community policing, we concentrated mainly on the kids distributing among them thousands candies, sweets, balls, footballs and cricket gears along with skipping ropes for girls, so that kids in remote area can fulfill their basic joys of life.

In the 3rd phase we are concentrating on women and old ladies in such areas. Good quality sarees were distributed among ladies in all remote and naxal affected areas. As the members of a secular, democratic state, Gumla Police is striving hard continually to rise above personal prejudices and promote harmony and the spirit of common brotherhood amongst all the people transcending religious, linguistic and regional or sectional interests and to renounce practices derogatory to the dignity of women and disadvantaged segments of the society.

Gumla as a district is prone to wide-variety of crimes, murder being much-much more prevalent than any other district of Jharkhand. This tendency is partly a result of drinking habits of villagers where most murders take place on flimsy reasons especially on days of village Haats. Other prominent reason of murders is related to witchcraft, whereby people in neighborhood are killed on the suspicion of being a witch responsible for illness/death due to illness of a villager. These social reasons apart, last few years have seen rise in murders due to gang for caste group wars. Sahoo gang was active in Basia Circle in the past which is now dormant after strong police action and other reversals. In these days, PLFI (erstwhile JLT) has also been enganged in crimes leading to murder of innocents on one pretext or the other. One other gang which has been active is the one of persons with Rautia background. While Basia and Gumla Circles are infested mainly by the above three gangs, Gumla and Chainpur Circles and Palkot police station are affected by naxals’ outfit CPI-Maoists. Gumla being fairly well connected by Kutcha-roads mostly intersecting at night angles, it is always a challenge to check Road-borne crimes. The other important but unnoticed crime is that of marital disputes. Naxalism and smaller extortionist outfits have a natural chance to thrive here because of tough geographical locations.  

Gumla district is a geographically diverse district. It is situated 600 meters above se level with chota-nagpur range of hills. Being hilly area, it is a natural place for guerilla warfare. Gumla is primarily affected by CPI Maoists. They have divided this district in three Sub-Zones. The area between Gumla-Simdega and Ranchi- jashpur Road is Simdega Sub-Zone and between Gumla-Chattisgarh Road and Gumla- Bishunpur Road is Gumla Sub-Zone and the area to north and west of Gumla – Bishunpur road is Lohardagga Sub-Zone. Simdega Subzone`s Los-1 has Bandhnu Mahto @ Avtaarji as its commander which operates between Gumla- Chattishgarh N.H. and Gumla Simdega N.H. This group also looks after some area of Chattishgarh. LOS-2 is headed by Bablu @ Prabhatji and looks after area south of Ranchi-Simdega N.H. The LGS of this Sub-zone is headed by pawanji and Deputy Commanders Gulshan @ Pratap Singh Binjhia who is S-2 Committee member and Deepak @ Tilakman Sahu. Gumla Sub-zone is North of Gumla-Jashpur (Chattishgarh) N.H. till Netrahat- Gumla Road. This Sub-zone has four Sub-zanal commanders Vishwanath Bhuian (Armed); Ashok @ Prasad Lakra (Political): Joseph Lakra (Armed): and parmesh Gope (Political- in jail now). Six Area Commander include- Somra Oraon, Kanchan Oraon, Dildhar Nayar(LOS), Gurucharan (LOS) @ Ranthu, Sandeep Mishra (LOS) and Kuldeep Oraon (LOS).
Being on Border of Chattisgarh and Latehar`s foothill area the emphasis of naxal of late has been to strengthen their base in Gumla and control Gumla- Netrahat route. Police response of Gumla has been good as we have been able to kill four naxals in encounters in Banari and Jamti areas of Bishunpur. Gumla Police arrested Sub-Zonal Commander Parmeshwar Gope and Zonal Commander Manoj Nagesia. The plans of  Naxals to trap Gumla Police in Landmine- ambush have been thwarted  by recovery of Six 30 kg landmines in Dumri and Neutralization of Ambushes by naxals on Bishunpur- Netrahat valley Road and Banari- Banalat Road. Police has also been extending its reach in remote areas by establishment of many frontier area pickets namely Itkiri in Ghaghra P.S, Kotam in Gumla P.S, Gurma in Palkot P.S and Banari in Bishunpur P.S. Through constant and successful LRPs and S.O.Ps the naxal have been kept on back-foot till date by Gumla Police.
