Chhattisgarh police STF coming up as good force: CRPF DG | Zee News
Last Updated: Thursday, April 16, 2015 - 15:02

New Delhi: The Special Task Force (STF) of Chhattisgarh police, which lost seven personnel in an ambush last week, has come in for praise from the CRPF boss for undertaking independent operations "more often" to check the Maoist menace in the state.


Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF) Director General Prakash Mishra also defended the STF's strategy to move in small groups in the Naxal-infested terrain and jungles as that enables crack teams to act swiftly and with stealth.

"The STF are coming up as a good force. They sometimes go on their own... We also conduct operations on our own... There is always mutual coordination between the two forces when it is required.

"It is good that the STF are undertaking special tasks themselves as it is ultimately them who need to be taking the overall control in these areas," Mishra told PTI.

CRPF, with close to 1-lakh troops, is the lead force for anti-Naxal operations in the 10 Maoist-violence affected states of the country.

STF has been raised as a special counter-Maoist force under Chhattisgarh police and is tasked with increasingly undertaking self-sustained operations in coordination with central forces like CRPF.

On March 11, Left-Wing ultras ambushed an STF team in the Pidmel area of Sukma district of the state, killing seven personnel and injuring a dozen others.

Mishra, who has been credited with ably tackling the Left- Wing Extremism menace in his home state of Odisha in his earlier stint as that state's DGP, said that moving in small groups in these areas was rather good strategy.

The ambushed STF squad had a strength of 49 men.

"In (Naxal areas), we always move in small groups... 49 was a good number. It gives you the speed and the required secrecy in movement but... In such an operation, there is always a grave risk of getting into an ambush or of something going wrong.

"Unfortunately, in this case (Sukma ambush), something went wrong. STF has to learn from its mistakes. We do not exactly know what information was received by the Sub- Inspector (of STF) who led the team. But what we gather is that the officer (SI and platoon commander Shankar Rao) was a very brave officer," he said.

No need for the army, Cobras are more than a match for the Maoists. Andhra pradesh dealt with maoists successfully with Grey hounds.

DPSUs and OFB in Support of Central Armed Police Forces

The Defence Minister Smt Nirmala Sitharaman has stressed on the need to become more indigenous in Defence Production. She appreciated the consistent efforts being made by the Defence Public Sector Undertakings (DPSUs) and Ordnance Factories (OFs) in this direction. She was speaking on the occasion of handing over of several products developed by DPSUs and OFs to the Central Armed Police Forces (CAPFs) here today.

The Minister of Home Affairs Shri Rajnath Singh, who also graced the occasion, said that India wants to reduce its dependence on defence imports and ‘Make in India’ is the right initiative to achieve that. He expressed satisfaction that the indigenous content has increased in the defence production and hoped that fully indigenous products will be produced by the DPSUs and OFs in the very near future. The Minister also said that there is a need to design light weight bullet-proof jackets and helmets for the Forces.

The products which were handed over to the CAPFs were an armoured bus and bullet-proof jackets by the CMD, MIDHANI Dr. Dinesh Kumar Likhi to DG CRPF Shri RR Bhatnagar. An Unmanned Aerial Vehicle was handed over by the CMD HAL Shri T Suvarna Raju to DG CRPF and small arms like Assault Rifle and Carbine by the DGOF and Chairman OFB Shri SC Bajpai to DG CRPF. An All Terrain Vehicle was handed over by the CMD BEML Shri Deepak Kumar Hota to DG BSF Shri KK Sharma.

The function was attended by the Minister of State for Defence Dr. Subhash Bhamre, Secretary (Defence Production) Shri Ashok Kumar Gupta, several senior officials from the Ministry of Defence, Ministry of Home Affairs, DPSUs and OFB.

They have to bring back to the mainstream and make them understand they are Indians and part of Indian nation.

they are exploited to core and victims of our social system which is time barred ... still in certain part of andhra Pradesh caste system and social division prevails and it is quite common to ask your caste.

end of Maoism lie in restructuring social system and up bring of those who are hit hard. social disease needs social remedy and any other means is like chemotherapy to cancer but not cure

No need for the army, Cobras are more than a match for the Maoists. Andhra pradesh dealt with maoists successfully with Grey hounds.

Andhra pradesh approach actually created more problem in other states.

Why defence minister cannot be ex- army man or some one from arm forces - i thing they would perform much better understand their priorities otherwise it is just time waste... once this woman understand needs and convinced and prepare to take action it would time for another general election and next some other would come and again try to understand and do some thing it will be all most 7 to 8 years- this way nothing happen - i have nothing against this minister but VK singh should be choice or some other Ex army man
