4 Naxals gunned down in Gadchiroli, one in Sukma​

In a joint operation, the police's special commando unit C-60 and the CRPF killed four Maoists in an encounter along the Maharashtra-Chhattisgarh border in Gadchiroli district on Friday, a senior official said.

The official, in a statement, said based on credible intelligence inputs about the presence of Maoists formations on the Maharashtra-Chhattisgarh border near a recently opened Forward Operating Base in the Kawande area, an operation was launched on Thursday afternoon. A dozen C-60 parties (300 commandoes) and a component of the CRPF launched the operation from Kawande and Nelgunda areas towards the banks of the Indravati river amidst heavy rains.

Meanwhile, a Naxalite was killed in an encounter with security personnel in Chhattisgarh's Sukma district, a police official said on Friday.

The gunfight broke out on Thursday evening in a forest under the jurisdiction of the Kistaram police station area when a joint team of security personnel was out on an anti-Naxal operation, he said.

Amit Shah will go down in history as a legendary Home Minister and perhaps a future 7, Lok Kalyan Marg resident.

I was reading old articles from 2010 on the Maoist issue and it occurred to me that we lived in horrifying times. It is only through the tapasya of our ancient Rishis and Rishikas that this nation is alive today.

• Naxal ORBAT and fighting doctrine

First, the merger of the two most potent groups -- the PWG and the MCC -- has given synergy to the new outfit in terms of strength, capability, and resources, both human and material, for launching attacks on the security forces. The combined strength of the CPI-Maoist is estimated to be 15,000 armed cadres, which is huge compared to the 3,000 militants in Kashmir at the peak of the militancy.

Second, the merger has provided a large swathe of India -- from Bihar to Andhra Pradesh -- for the Maoists to move, both for operations and safe havens. While state police forces are restricted by jurisdiction and a lack of interstate coordination, the Maoists are not. This gives them an upper hand and the ability to carry out audacious attacks across the states at will.

Third, while the Naxals in the late 1960s used bows, arrows, axes, pistols and small bombs to annihilate 'class enemies', the Maoists (Naxals in their new avatar), have an array of sophisticated and lethal weapons which include AK-47s, light machine guns, INSAS rifles, self-loading rifles, grenades, mortars, rocket launchers, among others.

These have been acquired through raids on police armouries and snatching of arms of the policemen killed in ambush, apart from the supply of weapons by the LTTE and Nepalese Maoists. The easy availability of explosives in the Red Corridor has facilitated the laying of landmines to kill troops with most devastating effect. The Maoists have R&D units which fabricate and upgrade weaponry, including improvised explosive devices, which have added to the strike power of the Maoists.

• Lalgarh, Jhagram, West Bengal had maoists openly trying to assassinate a sitting CM

Lalgarh, if you remember, has been on the boil since last November when a landmine exploded near Bhadutala on the route of the convoy of West Bengal Chief Minister Buddhadeb Bhattacharjee and then central ministers Ram Vilas Paswan and Jiten Prasada.

The ministers were returning after laying the foundation of a steel plant in Salboni.

Soon after, the police launched a massive combing operation and arrested local school students and harassed tribal women.

In protest, angry tribals in and around Lalgarh dug up roads, virtually cutting off Lalgarh from the rest of Midnapore.

They also demanded a public apology from the police for the alleged excesses against them.

• Minors were made accessory to murder of public servants as child soldiers

One night the Naxals had come to the village and taken her away. They did not force her, she says, but had spoken to her nicely. She was trained in armed combat and guerilla tactics; learned how to make and plant bombs, ambush police patrols and attack police posts. She also served in the Naxal medical team, administering injections and nursing injured comrades.

Her first assignment was to teach A B C D to the uneducated in the camp. On another assignment she struck a policeman with ten lathi blows while another comrade slit his throat.

Then one day disillusioned by her leaders, she wrote a letter to her comrades and left. They came back and asked her to return, but she refused. Fearful of the consequences on her three younger siblings because of her return, she surrendered to the police and has been working as a special police officer with the Chhattisgarh police.

• Arms factories with lathe machines in Bastar, Chattisgarh

That the Maoists had a weapons making factory in the forests of Bastar was known to the security establishment for many years now.

"We tried -- with futility -- a number of times to storm this unit in the heart of their stronghold. We always failed till now. This time, we planned the operation well. But this wouldn't have been possible without the SPOs," the intelligence officer said.

"First, they are familiar with the terrain and could lead the troops through dense forests where we had never set foot before. Second, these are villages that they have lived all their lives in. They precisely knew each and every place where the Maoists were present."

• Naxals were able to make SLRs of passable quality in 2010

Sources said the Maoists had the capability to produce arms and ammunition of the highest quality.

"From what I saw, the machines were capable of churning out SLRs (Self Loading Rifles) and .303s. No one -- baring probably the people most familiar with these weapons -- can make out the difference from the weapons the Maoists were making and the ones from our ordnance factories," the intelligence officer said.

These weapons were not short in terms of firepower either, sources said.

Another officer, who was part of the operation and did not want to be named, said: "These weapons fire just the same kind of ammunition that standard issue weapons do. Probably the only drawback is that their firing rate is lesser than that of the originals. If, for instance, a regular SLR fires 60 rounds per minute, these would fire 20 to 30 rounds per minute. But they can kill nevertheless."

Intelligence sources said weapons made in the factory were sent out to rebels across the swathe of land that the Maoists control across central India.

"The weapons made here were sent out to Andhra Pradesh, Orissa, Maharashtra, and of course, were used in Chhattisgarh itself," the intelligence officer said.
Informed sources estimated that it would take the Maoists a decade if they had to rebuild the factory with similar infrastructure.

Many more battles to be won against Maoists

The destruction of the factory -- located in Dantewada's Singamadagu village -- is crucial because of the kind of firepower that it had been generating for the Maoist guerillas.

• Naxals had the funding to openly purchase black market AKs

In 1988, Ravula Srinivas paid Rs 100,000 for a black-market AKS series Kalashnikov rifle with a light-wood finish and a folding metal shoulder stock. On April 6 this year, the same rifle was pressed into service in an ambush that killed 75 members of the Central Reserve Paramilitary Force and one Head Constable of the Chhattisgarh police in Chhattisgarh’s Dantewada district.

Basically they were a proper army waiting for right opportunity to strike when the govt is busy in a war, they would have marched onto cities or do something else.

They were playing the Mao playbook of waiting for a opportunity to strike and the long game.

I hope they are eradicated to the last man.

The most important part of 2014/Modi is that Hindutva is normalized now, greens are exposed and Left-Liberal bullshit is being combated rather than being swallowed.

And no, it will be reversed if Modi/Bhajipao is out of power even for one term.
Do not get complacent, always vote lotus and encourage others to also do so

It is the reason I support Modi, it is also the reason I support Amit Shah( most likely PM once leaderji retires or falls sick or dies )

Programming of the majority of India flows from Delhi, it is why majority of people here are secoolar cucks because of 65 years of programming, new programming and software has to be installed

I wonder how pakis will feel about the future PM's?
Amit shah, yogi.
Bhenchod , inke naam sunke hi Tension hotha hoga?

The RSS is quietly doing commendable work across India. Ghar Wapsi is quietly happening all across India, not at a grand scale, but at a quiet steady pace. I think as Hindus we should accept the return of our lost brethren. Even certain other organisations such as the Arya Samaj is playing a quiet role in strengthening Ghar Wapsi.

How does dhirendra shastri come into play here?
