Only elimination isnt the complete solution. There is an endless supply of cannon fodder in any insurgency which keeps it alive. While there shld be no restraint in usage of heavy ammo and firepower against naxals the carrot goes together with stick. Only stick doesnt work always. Even in Kashmer Govt has shown them carrots of tourism growth, economic development etc. Its the economic development which ultimately weans away the recruits.Lightly Armed Gunships, Drones and New Gen MRAP/MPVs need to be implemented in order to fight this Leftist Terrorist insurgency in the heart of India. I and many others had posted about this in the past in this thread and threads before this as well but there is still opposition against this for some reason. Sometimes I don’t understand our own people’s mentality. Kashmiri Terrorists are technically our own people but we do everything in power to terminate them in battle in whatever way possible likewise maoists need to be dealt with the same way. This insurgency is taking its toll and India can’t win this war by just giving away money to maoists for surrender or just through poverty eradication.
I remember the days during my stay in CG, Raipur when Kolkata Mumbai Rajdhani used to be stopped outside CG border for night halt and passed through the state in the day only with crpf monitoring all the way. It used to arrive Nagpur 8 hrs late everyday. Naxals often target road construction eqpmnt for this reason only. Economic development and Govt ingress will break their hold over the people. Locals are also fed up of naxals and many work with them under life threat.
