Anti-naxal operations
At present, 73 battalions of Central Armed Police Forces, one Nagaland India Reserve Battalion and nine Commando Battalion for Resolute Action (CoBRA) have been deployed in naxal-affected states to assist the state police forces in anti-naxal operations.
There is no shortage of forces for anti-naxal operations. The deployment of these forces coupled with the police forces in naxal-affected states are adequate to meet the present requirement. However, the Government of India keeps the situation in all the left-wing extremism (LWE) affected states under constant review and as per the requirements projected by the affected states and the availability of force, additional battalions of Central Armed Police Forces are inducted to assist state police forces in anti-naxal operations.
The Government of India has deployed Central Armed Police Forces in all LWE affected states. Depending upon operational requirements, joint coordinated action by the state police forces and Central Armed Police Forces are initiated against the naxalites from time to time.
The quantum of violence in the current year has declined in comparison to the previous year. This year (up to November 29), 80 districts of the country witnessed 1,533 incidents of violence resulting in 532 deaths, compared to 2,212 incidents of violence resulting in 1,005 deaths spread over 95 districts of the country, in 2010.
This was stated by Jitendra Singh, Minister of State of Home Affairs, in Parliament.
