Director General of Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF), GP Singh, called on Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma at the latter's official residence here on Friday.
The Home Minister also instructed the Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF) to maintain close coordination with the Army and local police.
One of the highlights was the all-women marching contingent of the Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF), led by Assistant Commandant Aishwarya Joy M.
Security forces have dealt a significant blow to the Maoist insurgency in the dense Dandakaranya region along the Chhattisgarh-Odisha border.
A joint inter-state operation was launched by police of the two states and CRPF personnel in the border areas of Nuapada district of Odisha and Gariabandh district of Chhattisgarh.
It is also true that the insurgent has to succeed once to gain notoriety, while regular successes of security forces are brushed aside. The ambush on an army convoy in Chandel in Manipur leading to 20 dead in June 2015 is a case in point.
Troops of the Army, CRPF and J&K police eliminated the five terrorists (3 in Reban Bandpawa area of Shopian and 2 in Semthan village of Bijbehara in Anantnag district) in the two encounters.
The message has been delivered three days after the deadly attack on security forces in Chhattisgarh's Bijapur district in which 22 personnel were killed and more than 30 wounded.
After examining the Home Ministry’s budget for 2020-21, the standing committee had observed: “The committee is of the view that the Central Armed Police Forces (CAPFs) can’t substitute State Police Force as their deployment is to meet the emergency situation/ crisis in states for maintaining law and order.”
The gunbattle that took place on Saturday is said to be the biggest Maoist attack this year.
