Looks like the whole area was set on fire..Dried vegetation, strategically planted IEDs and a volley of bombs lobbed from higher ground. Salute to our jawans for fighting against such overwhelming odds.

China did not hav any logistics to support maoists.It's is our government failure
Someone back in 2006 told me that Chinese give weapons to Indians at Indo Nepal, and Indo chinese (Bihar) border for these naxals. I dunno how correct is that. Absolutely it is our collective failure. We have forgotten essence of our independence, how many lives we scarified to gain it. Some people have taken it for granted and taking undue advantage of it.
Patriots of this nation always try to glue this nation being at wrong end of the game. Once we started using force it will be quite painful for them.

who told you that? .............................

China works in collaboration of Pak and some Leftists in India and all the logistics can be arranged. It's old story. GOI knows it. But it's the failure of state police network.

Chhattisgarh top cop Kalluri posted back to police HQs from Bastar: Here’s why india Updated: Feb 08, 2017 20:21 IST

Aman Sethi
Hindustan Times, Raipur/ New Delhi

Bastar’s inspector general SRP Kalluri was posted back to Chhattisgarh police headquarters on Feb 7, 2017.( HT File Photo )
  • “Dear friends, I have come back to Jagdalpur just now to join my wife and children,” Bastar’s Inspector General SRP Kalluri wrote on Feb 6 on his Whatsapp group, his favoured mode of communication, “I have called DGP CG Shri Amarnath Upadhyay IPS and requested him to post me elsewhere.”

    On February 7, Kalluri was ordered to back to police headquarters in Raipur with “immediate effect”, bringing the embarrassing standoff between the controversial officer and the state administration to a temporary hiatus.

    The PHQ posting is a rare rebuke for an officer who has enjoyed the unstinted support of the state government despite allegations of intimidating journalists, terrorising rights activists and overseeing violent military operations that are the subject of separate investigations by the National Human Rights Commission (NHRC) and the Supreme Court.

    Read | Kalluri gone, Bastar top cop says media won’t be harassed in Maoist heartland

    Interviews with a range of sources in the police and government suggest that Tuesday’s transfer orders owe more to the compulsions of realpolitik than any altruistic concern for human rights on the part of Raman Singh’s BJP government.

    “The government has always appreciated Mr Kalluri’s role in fighting Maoism, but any government must consider a whole range of factors including the NHRC,” said a senior official, adding that the government was unsettled by the implications of the rights commission’s January 7 prima facie findings that members of the Chhattisgarh police had raped at least 16 adivasi women in Bijapur in 2015-16.

    On January 30, senior members of the administration and police met with the NHRC once more. The meeting, which lasted over 2 hours, is believed to have convinced the government to change its position.

    “The police hierarchy had assured the chief minister they would manage the NHRC,” said a member of the CM secretariat, “After the NHRC session, the government was worried that it could be held responsible for the excesses by the police.”

    Accordingly, he was sent on medical leave on February 2. The next day, police officials submitted a six point action plan to protect human rights in Bastar which included the creation of district level human rights committees.

    Yet Kalluri continued to rail against the government on his Whatsapp group. “Bela Bhatia wins… going on long leave.. sorry for failing you,” he wrote in one such missive, an allusion to the human rights activist who had been attacked at her home in Jagdalpur on January 23, 2017 by a mob who accused her of supporting Maoists.

    The attack on Bhatia prompted a national outcry, forcing the CM to assure her she was free to continue her work . Finally when he announced his return to Bastar on February 6, the government, officials said, had enough.

Raman Singh must resign for sure. Rajnath must be given some other cabinet role.
Further we need some new acts which will allow CRPF to take actions without depending onto concern state permission.
Further funding for these operations must be closely monitored and directed by center.

Maybe the Bastar IG who was made to go in Jan(I think) is brought back, Kalluri was his name. He was feared by Naxals.

The guy had to be sent on a forced leave after media ruckus created by the JNU professor.

Possible that these two events are linked.

http://www.firstpost.com/india/bast...hattisgarh-govt-appoints-new-dig-3243538.html

JNU gives access to some prof. and right activist access to have links outside India. And they get message while their trip abroad. Or through some parties. But nothing can be done, because that gives counter intelligence to monitor wait and watch opportunity.

This time he should be more vigilant. Why? Because it could be dushman's tactic to call him back and plan against him.

I never liked Rajnath singh. I have seen his interviews always bumbles and fumbles some bulshit words. I was afraid bjp doesnt make him up CM. He is always worried muslims in lucknow will not vote for him.

Most of the work are done by Indians who goes on recruiting more Indians ..

These Indians are brainwashed & work without any influence in latter stage as the seeds of hatred grows insides once mind and take its shape on its own, People mix around in the system & occupied where they can spread there propaganda well such as professors, activist and few remaining once live as sleeper cells within higher class of society ..

Even 50 years after it began, Maoism is alive and kicking. Here’s why

Naxals traning camp in Andhra Pradesh. With 2017 marking the 50th anniversary of the Naxalite movement, security forces stationed in the so-called Red Corridor have sounded the alarm that recent attacks on security forces could signal the start of a resurgence of anti-State activity by the armed insurgents(P.Anil kumar )

It was March 1967. Poor farmers armed with lathis, bows and arrows raided the paddy granaries of jotedars at Naxalbari, situated at the tri-junction of India, Nepal and Bangladesh (then, East Pakistan).

These were small incidents but with far-reaching implications. The People’s Daily of China hailed these attacks as “a peal of spring thunder” and that “the Chinese people joyfully applaud this revolutionary storm of the Indian peasants”.

The events were mainly shaped by Charu Mazumdar, Kanu Sanyal and Jangal Santhal. Charu was the brain behind the movement, Kanu the organiser, while Santhal mobilised the tribal santhal community. The movement was crushed by the police, but its sparks flew to distant parts of India.

The Indian State could never imagine that the movement would spread across states and, at its peak, affect 200 districts in 20 states. The UPA government, on more than one occasion, described this Left-Wing Extremism (LWE) as the greatest threat to the internal security of the country.


According to latest estimates, 104 districts in 13 states are affected by the Maoist movement. With 2017 marking the 50th anniversary of the Naxalite movement, security forces stationed in the so-called Red Corridor have sounded the alarm that recent attacks on security forces could signal the start of a resurgence of anti-state activity by the armed insurgents. On March 11, 12 personnel of the CRPF were killed by Maoists in Sukma of Chhattisgarh. The Maoists were able to decamp with six INSAS rifles, four AK-47 rifles, one 51 mm mortar and some other weapons and ammunition.

The NDA government claims to be winning the war against the Maoists. It is true that there has been significant shrinkage in the total area affected by Maoist violence and that several members of the party’s central committee and politburo have been neutralised. Last year, however, witnessed a considerable escalation in Maoist depredations.

There were a total of 433 fatalities in 2016 as against 251 in 2015. What is worrying is that the proportion of security forces personnel killed to that of Maoists has dropped from 1:3.7 in 2016 to 1:1.55 in 2017 (to date).


India’s home minister Rajnath Singh recently claimed that the Maoist threat would be eliminated in the next five years. It is true that the military capability of the Maoists has been seriously dented, but let’s not be too optimistic. If we take a historical overview of the Naxalite/Maoist movement, we find that twice in the past, governments believed that they had knocked out LWE but they managed a comeback.

After the arrest of Charu Mazumdar in 1972 and the subsequent differences within the party, it was thought that the movement had run out of steam. However, it revived in 1980 with the formation of the People’s War Group (PWG) by Kondapalli Seetharamaiah. Effective counter-insurgency operations however decimated the PWG. Seetharamaiah was arrested.

Again, the government thought the movement had been vanquished. However, in 2004, the movement resurrected in its third avatar when its two major components - the People’s War and the Maoist Communist Centre - merged to form the Communist Party of India (Maoist).

It was declared that the objective of the party was to “carry on and complete the already ongoing and advancing New Democratic Revolution in India as part of world proletarian revolution by overthrowing the semi-colonial, semi-feudal system.” The guerrilla outfits were reorganised as People’s Liberation Guerrilla Army, which is about 6,000 strong.

The movement keeps on reappearing like a phoenix because the basic socio-economic factors, which are responsible for it, remain unaddressed. Poverty continues to be a problem and, according to the expert group headed by C Rangarajan, 29.5% of the population lived below the poverty line in 2011-12. Wealth is increasing, but its distribution is unequal.

About 1% of the rich are said to own 58% of the country’s wealth. Unemployment is another area of concern. Land reforms have been forgotten. Tribals are an alienated lot, largely due to their displacement as a result of developmental activities in the forest areas.

The state police forces unfortunately lean heavily on the shoulders of the Central Armed Police Forces. The great lesson of Punjab is that until the state police take the terrorists/extremists head-on, the battle against terrorism/extremism will never be won. Other forces can play only a supporting role. The state police are today in a shambles.

It is also disconcerting that the successes of the security forces are not followed up by the administration. Government departments do not establish themselves in areas when the Maoists have been driven away. In course of time, Maoists fill the administrative vacuum and regain the lost ground.

And so, the battle which started 50 years ago in Naxalbari goes on. It will continue to bleed the Indian State until we improve governance and address the core issues which sustain the movement.

Prakash Singh is a retired police chief and was member of an expert group appointed by the Planning Commission to study the problem

The views expressed are personal
That sums up and funny that Ganja still making stupid claims instead of fulfilling the long standing demands of CAPF especially the provisions for martyr and their family.

The silver lining is that we now know the winning strategy. Buiding roads are turning Naxalites desperate. More roads need to be built. This time with protection from armour. Trees have to be cut down - a pity but necessary.
