L
eft-wing Extremism (LWE) continues to remain one of the major
challenges to India’s internal security. Its intensity continues to
persist especially in three states – Chhattisgarh, Jharkhand and
Orissa – apart from a significant presence in West Bengal, Bihar, and
Maharashtra. At the same time, the left-wing extremists have
successfully managed to penetrate in some of the states of the
northeast and south India, and into a few urban areas. Interestingly,
there is a reduction in the number of middle and top-level Maoist
leaders due to killings, arrests or surrenders. Yet, one still cannot
assert with confidence that Left-wing Extremism is on the wane.
Significantly, the spread of Naxals beyond the ‘Red Corridor’ and their
external links are a cause for concern

| Summary/Abstract |
If the Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA) were to be believed, the paramilitary forces fighting the internal security battle - especially in the Red Corridor - were provided with the best equipment. The paramilitary personnel, however, think otherwise. Either it is inadequate number of weapons and systems, or inefficient training; till now the paramilitary forces have not been able to handle the security situation in the Naxal stronghold areas. Latest in the long list of disappointments were the incidents of Naxal attacks during the General Elections.
On April 12, Bastar and Bijapur districts in Chhattisgarh witnessed Improvised Explosive Devices (IED) blasts during the voting season. Maoists triggered landmines in these two areas which claimed the lives of seven polling officials and five Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF) personnel. Three days later, another blast was carried out which killed three security forces. On May 11, seven cops were killed in yet another landmine blast in Gadchiroli district in Maharashtra.
When asked for MHA's assessment on these security lapses, a highly placed official in the ministry said that the paramilitary personnel were in the 'election mode', and as a result security vacuum was created. He implied that it was not physically possible to ensure full safety in this so-called 'election mode'. He then tossed over the responsibility and blame on to the director generals (DG) of the paramilitary forces. "The top leadership of the paramilitary forces could have done better by ensuring proper training to their troops," he said. Giving the example of mini-training centres, which were the brain-child of the then DG CRPF Vijay Kumar, the MHA official said that the DGs did not take this idea forward. Apparently, lack of coordinated efforts between the top officials led to the lack of training.
