After the establishment of a police picket on September 11, 2018 at Kulti Jungle under Bhandaria Police Station of the district first time, a Civic Action Programme was organized by the CRPF 172 Battalion here on Sunday, October 1. More than 500 people of insurgency affected area by rebels have joined the programme. CRPF arranged broadcast of Prime Minister’s ‘Man ki Baat’ programme through mike and loudspeakers.
The CRPF also organized a medical camp to provide relief to the people. Those who lost hope of living in the absence of treatment in that area got a bigger chance of living a long life. A total of 150 patients were treated in the camp.
The CRPF has provided the poor villagers with the things they need. They have been given gas stove, clothes and many other necessary items. Stationary items were also distributed among children.
Speaking on the occasion, Satyendranath Mishra, Commandant of CRPF 172 battalion, said that the people there are like family members of the CRPF. “Being a helper in their problems, the CRPF considers its ultimate religion and this religion is being followed. Security of the public is their prime priority. This area is connected to the Budha Pahad . From here, the Naxalites used to carry out their activities. Now the campaign against them has started here. Here, the joy of the villagers has returned as the Naxalites have started digging.
The CRPF has paved the way for the people to live peacefully by freeing them from the fear of militants in the Kulti jungle of the highly militarized area under Bhandaria police station of the district. The place where the top-notch militants of the Maoists used to come and make the strategy of destruction has become a place where CRPF is forming a strategy for development.
A number of CRPF officers and jawans including Deputy Commandant, Sehgal, Inspector Meena, Rahul Kumar Singh, Rajshree Verma, Pankaj Kumar Choubey were present on the occasion.
