CRPF for use of unmanned aircraft against Maoists

KORAPUT: Maoists are on the back foot in Jharkhand, Bihar and Odisha but there is need to contain the red rebels in Chhattisgarh, and if needed unmanned aircraft could be used to stike against them, a senior CRPF official said here today. "Maoist situation in Jharkhand and Bihar is under control, but we need to check the Naxals in Chhattisgarh. If required, unmanned aircraft could be used in Chhattisgarh to target Maoists camps in deep forests," CRPF Director General Prakash Mishra said during his visit to the CoBRA battalion at Sunabeda in Koraput district. According to the DG, Maoist activities in the country has drastically come down in past few months and in the coming few years the county will be free from naxal offensives. Referring to Odisha, he said "Maoists activities in Odisha have been controlled to a great extent and the left-wing extremists are fast loosing their tribal support base in the state." "While Naxal offensives in districts like Koraput, Malkangiri and Rayagada are on decline, their activities in districts like Kalahandi, Nuapada and Sambalpur need to be checked. Overall, the counter-insurgency operation in the state is satisfactory," he said.

Though Garuds have come into limelight in Operation Dhangu (Pathankot attacks), they have been operationally deployed in Naxal areas for a while now as part of Operation Triveni.

Only a matter of time IAF will fire in anger in this area. Hopefully Garuds will also notch up a few kills as well...

IPUR: "Recent decision of Indian Air Force's and Chhattisgarh police to carry out attacks from air in 'self defense' at Maoist insurgent Bastar, was aimed at boosting the morale of forces deployed in red zones and dissuade rebels from attacking choppers," newly appointed Air Marshal SBP Sinha, air officer commanding-in-chief Central Air Command told TOI on his first visit to Raipur and Jagdalpur after assuming command at Anti-Naxal Task Force (ANTF) of Indian Air Force on Thursday.

ANTF spearheads Operation Triveni of Indian Air Force, which is one of the largest sustained helicopter operations ever undertaken by the Indian Air Force, spanning as many as eight states namely Chhattisgarh, Odisha, Andhra Pradesh, Madhya Pradesh, Maharashtra, Bihar, Jharkhand and West Bengal.

In an exclusive chat with TOI, Sinha said, "The first thought that comes to any soldier's mind when attack takes place is that he ought to do something to save lives. There have been few instances in the past where state and IAF choppers were fired at by Maoists and by giving them permission to fire in defense would maintain the morale needed at an insurgent place."

Additional DG (anti-Naxal operations) R K Vij told The Indian Express: “Maoists have often fired at Mi-17s (helicopters). We have lost personnel and people, but we have never retaliated. The law has never stopped us from retaliation. We have conducted exercises. Garud commandos of the Indian Air Force practised firing from Mi-17. We are not sitting ducks, we can also attack them. It will help us handle the situation better.”

While the official statement is that the IAF will attack only in retaliation or self-defence, it gives enormous edge to security forces battling the Maoists.

IAF officers in Chhattisgarh confirmed the change in strategy.

The IAF has been operating Mi-17s in the Bastar region for several years. The Maoists have been able to hit these helicopters quite often. So far, the state establishment and the IAF had been against air strikes.

“To counter this situation (Maoist attack on helicopters), senior officers of Chhattisgarh police and IAF held a joint meeting and formulated a strategy. As part of this strategy, exercises were conducted in remote areas of Bijapur,” Vij said.

Maoists have large bases in Bijapur as they dominate vast area across this district of southwest Bastar.

“On October 13, three IAF helicopters flew over a specified area of Bijapur and practised strafing. Senior officers of the IAF and anti-Naxal operations of the state police participated in the exercise,” Vij said

Eight Maoists killed in encounter in Chhattisgarh

In a major setback to the Maoists, a senior Maoist cadre of Vekatapuram Area Committee of Bhadrachalam Division and seven other naxalites were killed in an “encounter” with the police in the Gottepadu forest area close to the Telangana-Chhattisgarh border in south Bastar region of the neighbouring State in the small hours of Tuesday.

The police reportedly found eight bodies of slain Maoists including three women cadres after the cessation of exchange of fire. They reportedly recovered one AK 47, three SLRs and three other firearms.

Nothing much to comment on, just celebrate and be done with it. Though I am miffed with the usage of quotation marks for "encounter", yet I am not surprised as this was reported by 'The (anti) Hindu'. As long as Naxals are being killed, it shouldn't matter if they are killed in an encounter or if they are killed in their sleep. A dead Naxal is good news for the nation, the conditions of his death notwithstanding.

According to commie presstitutes, a martyred Indian soldier is a 'Hindu terrorist' but a dead Naxal insurgent is a 'slain Maoist hero'.

All maoists with their intellectual friends who work for foreign funds need to be eliminated or else the poor will keep dying and urban naxalites such as JNU profs and intellectuals will keep becoming rich!

...hence the set up of Salwa Judum (these are armed pro-India, village defense militiamen who are assisting the government to terminate Naxalites)
