Seriously, how difficult is it for a chip to be embedded in a journalist's mouth and a UAV to track these losers? Even Rustom-1 can carry enough payload to start dropping small explosives to target naxals as they don't have UAVs. This is deep inside the jungle and CRPF can easily twist the story to say that it was their own IEDs that blew up that they were making.


Encounter went for 3 days still all naxals escaped. WTF is Bihar police doing?



Naxal problem is political; chances are, that these police officers were ordered to withdraw. It is common practise to ensure that every region remains on a slow boil rather than see a complete elimination of hostiles. BJP or not, it does not matter in the Red Belt. These are several local politicians who are hand-in-glove with these swines. They do not want naxalism to die.

All governments also in the centre are under the illusion that because a few hundred naxals surrender for low government jobs, the entire naxalism will be over with negotiations. It won't. China will collude with local politicians to keep it going on, unless the government is willing to use an iron boot to crush it.

Patna, Feb 3 (PTI) Two communist pests were butchered in an encounter with security forces in Bihar’s Lakhisarai district and a cache of arms and ammunition was seized, officials said on Thursday.

The operation was led by the 32nd battalion of the paramilitary Sashastra Seema Bal (SSB) along with teams of the district police and the special task force of the state.

Time and again it is being proven that either:

1) CRPF needs heavy punishing firepower akin to that of the Army
OR
2) Clear the Army to crush naxalism with unhindered force

But votes are more important for the local scumbags.

Chhattisgarh: DC among 4 CPRF personnel injured in blast

Four personnel of the Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF), including a deputy commandant and an assistant sub-inspector, were injured on Tuesday when an Improvised Explosive Device (IED), planted by Naxals, went off in Chhattisgarh's Bijapur district, police said.

The incident occurred around 3 pm on the Murkinar road under the Modakpal police station area when a team of CRPF's 153rd battalion was out on an area domination operation, Inspector General of Police (Bastar range) Sundarraj P told PTI.

The patrolling team, which had launched the operation from its Chinnakodepal camp, was cordoning off the forest along Murkinar road, located around 450km from the state capital Raipur, when the CRPF personnel came in contact with a pressure IED (a homemade bomb), causing an explosion in it, he said.

Army should not be used in COIN operations especially in hinterlands..Army is already stretched thin in managing two front war and dealing insurgency in Kashmir and north east
Ideally even Kashmir and NE insurgency should be dealt by CRPF or BSF

Then the only option is to turn CRPF into the Army 2.0. What I am trying to say is that it doesn't matter who handles it, they need heavy firepower, deep UAV surveillance capabilities, mine-countering equipment, aerial sniper UCAVs/LCH on deputation, etc. Without deadly force that shows the Maoists that the government is ready to go to any extent to wipe them out (without making it to the news), they won't stop until their funds dry up.

Terrorism has to be fought with terror tactics.

Nope, CRPF just just need armed drones and night fighting capabilities.

They can wreak havoc.
