In 2013 there held a passing out parade in the JAP centre in lesliganj wherein Director General of Police Jharkhand Rajeev Kumar delivered a speech saying time has come now when the State police should go all out on its own and any dependency on the Central para-military forces ought to be lessened so that the State police carry out its own operations and drives against the Naxals here.
The police still look too eagerly and anxiously towards the CRPF for its any operation against he Naxals. The Pioneer spoke to commandant 134 battalion of the CRPF Anil Minz on varied issues related to co-ordination with the police and drive against Naxals. Minz is a name to reckon with said a Maoist sympathiser as he added ‘ This tribal CRPF officer has the guts to go deep into the jungles with his boys and knows well the language of the jungles’.
How is the level of co ordination between the CRPF and the police hereIJ The two co-ordination is a two-way thing. And there is always a room for more and more better and effective co-ordination. Now it is good.
It is said one additional SP (operations) had an encounter with road robbers on NH-98 and he had none of the police officers then with him despite the fact that his four bodyguards alone knocked down one road robber and recovered weapon too at night. The ASP is our man who is now on deputation there and he and his boys proved their worth in that difficult situation at night on NH-98 last year.
It is said police take too much time in coming out from the police station or from the police line. No comments. I believe that in any operation promptness and readiness in time always pays rich results.
The CPI-Maoists will have 10 years of their formation this 2014. Is thisIJ
Yes. The Maoists have said they will be 10 years old this 2014.
Have their strength gone upIJ
No. Their mass base has decreased. There is problem coming to them in new recruitment. Desertion has plagued the outfit most. The Maoists have themselves described the situation for them as critical. The Maoists may be down here but not out at all.
How is the Maoists sway in PalamuIJ
People do know this name by the word Party Wallah but their influence has decreased considerably.
