CRPF to deploy local recruits in Naxal-hit states

10:21 PM Posted by Unknown , No comments
Over 2,000 men and women recently recruited by the CRPF from left wing extremism-affected areas will be deployed there after training for better intelligence and operational effectiveness during anti-Naxal operations.

About 2,000 men and over 300 women were recruited over a period of one year and are now undergoing rigorous training in Ajmer.

Official sources said once the group finishes their training, they will be posted back in the Naxal-hit areas as they have better terrain knowledge since they are locals drawn from the same areas where the Naxals operate.

The biggest difficulty that the security forces face in the fight against Naxals is that most men are from other states and do not know the thick jungle and hill terrains where they operate.
