Government stops functioning in Rural India

Naxalites are dangerous stuff for India. They operate inside the rural areas where the rule of government is bad, sad or corrupt. And now more than 1/3rd of districts of India are thought to be under the control of these Naxalites. And the problem is that it becomes a vicious circle. More the districts fall under Naxalite control, less and less is the government control. See here for example on the issues relating to posting government officials to Naxalite infested districts. I quote:

BHUBANESWAR: The State Government is preparing an incentive package for its employees working in nine Naxal-infested districts to arrest the trend of a large number of vacancies.
A proposal will soon be submitted to the Government, sources said. With Naxals spreading their wings, Government employees are reluctant to get posted in ‘red’ zones. A large number of vacancies in these districts has become the major stumbling block in the process of development.
