Counter Naxal Advice From Veterans

As per veteran counter terrorism expert Mr K P S Gill, “The most rudimentary components of a counter-insurgency (CI) response to the Maoist challenge are yet to be put in place. In truth, state police forces will have to be enormously expanded, prepared, trained, equipped, revitalised and, crucially, led and mandated, before any coherent CI strategy can be effectively implemented in West Bengal”. Mr Gill has also recommended immediate review of siting of all camps, improvement in communications and leadership as well as flow of intelligence. He indicates that beefing up security by providing central forces may not be the answer to the vexing challenges which will have to be mainly fought by the State police.
