Home Ministry makes its stance clear after Sukma violence – begins Maoist cleanup from Dantewada

Earlier this month, on the Sukma-Bijapur border of Chhattisgarh – the hub of Naxalism, 22 courageous personnel of the paramilitary forces had been martyred and 31 sustained accidents in a grotesque Naxal assault. On the Naxal aspect, 15 of the home terrorists had been killed and 20 had been injured, in line with experiences. The incident shook the conscience of the nation, and folks throughout the nation started demanding a jaw-breaking response to be given to the Naxals for his or her assault on the Indian state. Now, that response appears to be getting initiated by the Union Home Ministry, because it begins searching down Naxals of their very hub of Dantewada.The Dantewada District Reserve Guard killed a Naxal chief carrying a reward of Rs. 1 lakh on his head. The Naxal was killed in a fireplace change with the DDRG within the forest space between Gaadam and Jungampal villages on Sunday. “After the exchange of fire stopped, the body of ultra VettiHunga was recovered from the spot, located around 400 km away from capital Raipur. An 8 mm pistol, a country-made muzzleloading gun, a 2-kg Improvised Explosive Device (IED), Maoist bags, literature and medicines were recovered from the encounter site,” P Sundarraj, IG Bastar mentioned. Hunga was a “militia commander” of the outlawed Maoist motion.The Week reported that Hunga was in a excessive place within the Katekalyan space committee of the Communist Party of India (Maoist). Evidently, the gunning down of Hunga units the tone for the unprecedented offensive that’s about to comply with, which is able to relaxation assured, lead to Naxals and their patrons being worn out of India.Meanwhile, Gadchiroli Police arrested a Naxal who was in hiding after getting injured in an encounter on March 29, in line with the Maharashtra Police. This Naxal was carrying a bounty of Rs. 16 lakhs over his head. “The encounter, in which five Naxals were killed, took place at Khobramendha village in Maharashtra’s Gadchiroli, and information had been received that many injured Naxals were left behind,” the SP mentioned, “Working on the information, on April 6, Kishore Kawdo was found at Kathezari village where he was hiding.”If the most recent developments are something to go by, the Naxals are in for fairly a giant shock. The killing of over 22 paramilitary personnel has solely preponed the inevitable offensive which has been within the works towards Naxals for fairly a while now. The searching down of prime Naxal leaders should function a reminder to all that choosing weapons towards the Indian state will do anybody no good, apart from shortening their lifespan.
