The ambush of a joint CRPF and state police team in Chhattisgarh shows the training and tactics have to be better than the ragtag Maoists. Jammu and Kashmir is a good example.
Official data shows 118 militants have been killed, and recruitment has dipped 48% so far this year. But a 2010 lull like this had ended with a new phase of militancy.
New CPI series will take 2024 as base year, will provide more accurate measure of inflation, spending on digital services. Expected to enhance representation and reliability, says Saurabh Garg.
The agreement, signed after meeting between Rajnath and US Secretary of War Pete Hegseth on sidelines of ADMM-Plus in Kuala Lumpur, aims to deepen bilateral ties in the critical sector.
This world is being restructured and redrawn by one man, and what’s his power? It’s not his formidable military. It’s trade. With China, it turned on him.
Not the first time the security forces were caught ‘napping’ by the Maoists. Worse, even after the many such fiascos, not a single one of the higher-ups have been hauled-up for negligence, incompetence, ineptitude or other shortcomings. Fact is, the CRPF is totally useless to the task, as they are literally ill-trained, ill-equipped and ill-led for such sensitive and dangerous operations.
Very good article on the subject which I have read in the recent times. For a change, there is nothing contrarian in the article.
A few years back, a friend who visited Chattisgarh came back with the observation: There was a tacit understanding between the previous CM and the Maoists – “This is my area, you don’t interfere. I won’t interfere in your area.”
Cowardice is writ large on these anti-insurgency operations. The abandoned wepons will be turned against the security forces in the next ambush.
