Naxalism
has become a cancer for the country now. In some districts
of 7-8 states of the country their terror is prevailing. In
several districts they are running parallel government. The
naxals do as it pleases them in these districts. They have
made the administration sick in some areas of Andhra Pradesh,
Maharashtra, Chhatisgarh, Orissa, Jharkhand, Bihar, Madhya
Pradesh and West Bengal. According to a recent news report,
Naxals turnover of recovering money has touched Rs 100 crores.
And now this money is also being used in share market. In
today's scenario there is need to curb this menace taking
effective strategic decisions. In this connection a special
force (SAF) is proposed to be formed under the control of
CRPF. It is waiting for final approval from the Union home
ministry. According to the proposal, 10 battalions (10 thousand
jawans) would be in new the force and it would be formed on
the pattern of Greyhound of Andhra Pradesh police. It is noticeable
that the Prime Minister, Manmohan Singh recently in a meeting
with Chief Ministers of the states had told that Leftist extremists
are the biggest menace for Indian internal security. He had
told all the state chief ministers to form a special unit
to face naxal activities. People killed in Naxal attacks are
more than those who were killed in north-eastern states due
to extremist and terrorist activities. It means naxalism has
taken form of terrorism. So the preparation to curb it should
be on a large scale. There is need for a joint command of
states along with forming SAF which can face naxals with their
best efforts. This work force should be given cooperation
at the local level and information system should be strong
only then the cancer of naxalism can be rooted out. The new
force should be provided helicopter along with modern means
of communication. Because the naxals might have everything
which an Army possesses.
