Since the 2010 Chintalnar massacre, the Dantewada-Sukma-Bijapur axis has claimed the lives of more than 175 security force personnel, besides several civilians. While the Chintalnar encounter saw 76 CRPF men killed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A look at the data on Maoist violence in Chhattisgarh shows that most attacks and casualties have happened between March and July.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Sources say this is because the CPI (Maoist) usually launches its tactical counter-offensive campaign between February and the end of June. This campaign involves aggressive military operations against security forces before the monsoons\u2014that make movement difficult\u2014hit the region.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The key concern is that security forces are still struggling in this region, known as Bastar, despite the campaign against the Left-wing extremists starting around 15 years ago.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Bastar is a district in Chhattisgarh. Jagdalpur is the district headquarters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A host of factors\u2014remoteness, jungle terrain, absence of administration and lack of political will\u2014have been blamed for the slow progress there.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The eradication of the movement in neighbouring Andhra Pradesh and Odisha has led to a concentration of cadre and leaders in the Bastar region\u2014which provides easy movement for the rebels across borders because of its proximity to other states.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Most, however, point to absence of roads, communication and proper administration as the main reason for Maoists continuing to hold the area.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
