More forward security posts are likely to come up in Palamu police range to checkmate and outwit the CPI Maoists.
Sources said the top cop of the State DK Pandey and his team of senior police officers are also toying with the idea to relocate the security camps in this range if the locale of the camp is now free of the infestation or infiltration of the extremists. Such camps which need to be relocated will deliver more blow to extremism here than now, they said.
On Tuesday DGP D K Pandey along with ADG, Special Branch, Anurag Gupta; IG Sanjay Anand latekar, IG Prashant Singh; IG Ashish Batra; DIG CRPF Ranchi Giri, DIG CRPF Jayant Pal; DIG police Palamu Vipul Shukla and three SPs of this range Palamu Indrajeet Mahatha, latehar Anoop BIrtharey and Garhwa Alok Kumar sat for hours in latehar and reviewed the ongoing
operations against the extremists in this range.
SP latehar confirmed this review meeting of DGP with his 6 top officers of the state police in latehar but declined to share any further details.
Sources said Monday encounter with TSPC in Kasmar under Herhunj police station in latehar district has come as a shot in the arm of the latehar police and CRPF there as the
DGP D K Pandey and his Ranchi team saw the seized weapons of TSPC and lauded the bravery of the police and CRPF for inflicting such loss of weapon to TSPC.
