The CRPF chief, who arrived in the Chhattisgarh after the ambush by Maoists in Bijapur on Saturday that left 22 personnel dead, said that "lessons are learnt" from every incident.
Maoists are "frustrated" because security camps have been set up in remote areas of Chhattisgarh and this process will be speeded up now to launch more serious operations against them, Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF) Director General Kuldiep Singh said today after at least 22 security personnel were killed in an encounter. The CRPF chief, who arrived in the Chhattisgarh capital Raipur after the ambush by Maoists in Bijapur on Saturday that also left more than 30 personnel injured, said that "lessons are learnt" from every incident and they will see and analyse "what changes have been brought by the Maoists" to effectively counter them. Mr Singh said the Maoists are frustrated and troubled because of the induction of five new battalions in the Bastar region of the state recently and the creation of new bases in remote areas like Basaguda, Silger, Jagargunda and Minpa. "They (Maoists) think that if they mount heavy casualties on us they can deter us and we may not establish new camps. But this does not happen... there have been many casualties in the past too... and as per government policy the force keeps moving forward," he said.More Related News
