We are keeping a strict vigil on the Naxals’ movements and their hideouts through helicopter surveillance,” Singh said.

Further, Director General of Police, GS Rath visited Mosabani in East Singhbhum District to review the progress of the work of the proposed anti-terrorist training centre. Source said that the standard of proposed anti-terrorist training centre will be at par with that of the paramilitary training centre in Hyderabad and Haryana, where the Police personnel are trained how to cope up with the guerrilla war. About 500 police personnel will be given training in a batch.

Meanwhile, Chief Minister, Arjun Munda ordered forming of a Primitive Tribal Battalion which will be sixth among the Indian Reserve Battalions formed by the State Government in the past. According to the decision taken a total of 1,007 posts will be created while two companies of the battalion will be given commando training. The battalion will especially recruit people from Primitive Tribal Groups (PTG) in the State. Constituting a Tribal Battalion is the part of Centre's strategy against Maoist rebels to give preference to tribals in the Security Forces. Nevertheless, the Centre had reportedly rejected the proposal of the State Government forming battalions on any specific tribal community.
