Anti-Naxal ops: CRPF finds C’garh, Jharkhand most tough

CRPF, the lead anti-Naxal force, considers Chhattisgarh and Jharkhand as the most challenging states when it comes to tackling the menace of left-wing extremism (LWE) in the country.
It also feels said that states are ‘under utilising’ the paramilitary force’s potential in security-related tasks. ‘Chhattisgarh and Jharkhand remain to be the most challenging states for us given the high density of forests and difficult terrain in these states,’ Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF) director general Dilip Trivedi told reporters on the eve of the forces’ 75th Raising Day. ‘There is some truth in the whole situation,’ he said when asked if state police forces were not taking a lead role in anti-Naxal operations.
‘I did feel that there was some underutilisation of our capabilities (by the states) but these issues can be solved through mutual interactions and we have done so on many occasions,’ he said.
