From their Mouth about the Naxal Attack in Chhattisgarh 2021
“After seeing very heavy firing, the first panic call was made around 10 am to send a helicopter for rescue and reinforcement. But the chopper couldn’t get a place to land and left. Around 4 pm, the chopper came again. And it managed to land at a predefined place which helped in rescue operations,”
A senior CRPF official told ANI
“Coordination was an issue since senior-most level DRG official was targeted by Naxals initially during the attack. At the beginning of the encounter, Naxals targeted seniormost officers of the forces which caused coordination issues,”
a source said
Sources also said there is a possibility that Naxals may have got inputs about the movement of security force personnel from locals.
The Scenario
Naxals, who were following troops, targeted them at a place where they had domination. Sources also hinted that locals also played a role in helping the Naxals but it is yet to be established.
MP Nathanael, a former IG of CRPF, said there was a failure at the planning stage.”There is certainly lapses at the level of planning. This operation could have planned keeping in mind heat and other topographical factors,” IG said.
Security personnel was ambushed near Jonnaguda village around noon. In the encounter that broke out between security forces and Naxals along the Sukma-Bijapur border.
At least 22 security personnel lost their lives in the attack. Around 31 sustained injuries in the encounter, Chhattisgarh Police said.
Director-General of Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF) Mr. Kuldiep Singh, who is in Chhattisgarh to monitor the situation following the attack. On Sunday said that there was no intelligence or operational failure in the operation.
The Indian government has taken some positive steps.
- They have a dedicated task force to engage with the Naxals along with the army.
- Moreover, they are encouraging Naxals to give up their arms by organizing surrendering camps. Along with, where money is given to surrendering Naxals. They also help the police to nab these.
- The government is establishing schools in these tribal areas for the improvement of Naxals.
- The state government is creating awareness among the trials. And seems to be willing their trust though that is a difficult task.
- Some of the Naxal leaders such as Sabyasachi have been captured by the government. Therefore, which is a huge blow to the Naxals.
All in all the governments are trying their best to eradicate the problem of jealousy. But the fact remains till the trials are not empowered till they are not educated. Therefore, if not Naxals then any other organization will be created. To clean this trouble we have to go to grass roots and every individual can help. Jobs education are rights of every Indian citizen and these must be given to them.
