Maoist are like Talibanies, if we are going to push them with a few lakhs of sorties and expensive bombs, we have already not understood what we are dealing with. Heli Ops sure, UAV sure, but to what an extent. We all know what happened to an entire platoon of US troops in Vietnam war. Guerilla warfare isn't easy.

Then there are liberals, human rights commission etc. We had decades to develop a deep covert network, like what it took in Kashmir.

To fight them, we have to become them, in plain sights and gather info. Intelligence is the only option here. Then do CAS or what not. These would mean some of our brave men, to be an undercover Naxalite.

SUPER COP KPS GILL after 1996 must be given responsibility of naxalite area.
KPS GILL was an mastermind of dealing such type of brutal insurgency.
He was also having 1 st hand experience in dealing with insurgency of punjab but his experience was wasted not not transferring him to left wing areas
Within span of 10 years insurgency would all over in left wing area.

Unlikely that KPS Gill would have made a difference.
KPS Gill was instrumental in solving Punjab insurgency in the 80s when the media glare was negligible. Also, the insurgency was limited to just 1 state.

The LWE from the late 90s to the present day is a different ballgame. Here we have increased media glare, foreign and domestic NGOs, various political parties are in the picture in an insurgency spanning multiple states. Also, backup is provided by professors, intellectuals,lawyers, judges, Government officials, OFB officials in Tier 1 and Tier 2 cities. Various political parties have used Naxals to further their political ambitions in different states.

However, if anyone can attempt and succeed to solve the Naxal menace it is Modi and Shah. However, there is a lack of political will on their part. It would require a humongous effort to do so, as it is will be not only a multi state operations, but also cleansing our universities from their OGWs.

Yes they have to resign....Muft ka pagar aur sarkari paiso par yeh aur inki family ayyashi karte hai...Now the question is do India reaally need IAS IPS officers to run the country!!!!!!
Im actually surprised by everyone expectations here.

Barring the special forces and tac units trained by NSG and Army a lot of people will be caught off guard by the training and motivation of the regular soldier in crpf and other such units.

Having seen them first hand they are nothing like what people are expecting here.

One thing I observed in chattisgarh, the forest cover is sparse especially this time of the year,.. Its not like the low visibility, dense, evergreen forests in the the south.. like the western ghats.. fighting these naxals would have been more miserable in that case..

Remind me again why can't we apply AFSPA in Naxal-hit areas, displace whole villages in temporary camps and kill everything moving in these forests?

Make it a no-living zone for 5 years and let's see where Naxalism goes.
Order army then , overrule any objection from jernails , profit ?

No need of army, CRPF works perfectly fine for shooting bullets at anything moving. These are some jungle guerrillas using the advantage of the leftist+mafia system and local population.
Sometimes we need to give up the holy act and treat them like Xinjiang.

Army is overstreched. It is already wanting to pull-out from existing CI duties with RR and AR and concentrate on LOC and LAC.

The solution lies in the CAPFs and SRPFs with retired army officers having sufficient CI experience, leading the operations. Co-ordination with IAF and NTRO for areal reconnaisance and other electronics intelligence.

Ah to fir CRPFSPA :bplease:

I meant no need of army/airforce. Just absolute power to overrule leftist court and human rights jerkoffs crying.
Not possible, bro .
Crpf is a police force at the end of the day.
Unofficially, operational procedure can only be tinkered from the highest level .
If secretary who deals with lwe in home ministry convinces shah, then they might do something
