Title ProperDealing with Maoist insurgency
Other Title Informationfocused approach required
LanguageENG
AuthorKatoch, Prakash
Summary / Abstract (Note)Hundreds of CAPF battalions have been raised and there is no reason they cannot deal with internal security issues. They must perform/be made to perform, and most importantly, dominate the Dandakaranya forest, where on occasional foray and chest-thumping are useless, Surely, we need to look at a more integrated and deeper approach including MHA taking direct responsibility and control of counter-maoists operations rather than merely dishing out CAPF units to states; reorganising CRPF units in CI role on the lines of Rashtriya Rifles/Assam Rifles; discontinue the practice of imposing IPS officers on CRPF organisations; give the CRPF their own officers, review their training and imbibe the culture of officers leading troops in operations and ensure unity of command. The MHA must get into the acto rather than bureaucrats looking over the shoulder towards the Army, and help our enemies in getting the army sucked in here too.
