CRPF Director-General R.R. Bhatnagar says the force is getting closer to the core areas of the extremists, cutting down the striking distance and striking time.

The Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF) has opened 15 new security camps in Chhattisgarh’s South Bastar this year to choke the presence of Maoists, CRPF Director General R.R. Bhatnagar said.

Speaking to The Hindu, he said South Bastar or the Dandakaranya Special Zone Committee (DKSZC), led by commander Hidma, posed the biggest challenge to the forces. “The districts under the influence of Left Wing Extremism (LWE) has shrunk by more than 40% in the last three years… We have opened 15 new camps in Chhattisgarh and are getting closer to their [Maoist] core areas,” he said.

CRPF is the primary force deployed to conduct operations in the Left Wing Extremism affected areas. Around 40,000 CRPF personnel are deployed in Chattisgarh.

The officer said since the operational capability of the security forces had improved, Maoists were increasingly using Improvised Explosive Devices (IED) to inflict damage. “IEDs have been the main threat this year. Last year, 575 IEDs were detected, maximum were in Jharkhand (292), Chattisgarh (159) and Bihar (81). This year, already 230 IEDs have been recovered, mostly from the three States. Last year, there were 29 IED explosions and this year 16 such blasts have taken place,” he said.
