Maoists exploited police lapse in Sukma

The Hindu  

March 12, 2014 11:57 pm | Updated November 16, 2021 08:22 pm IST - Kolkata: With security forces deviating from the standard operating procedure, the Maoists took advantage of the lapse in Chhattisgarh’s Sukma district, meticulously planning, over the past few weeks, Tuesday’s attack that killed 16 police personnel. As the rebels surrounded the forces and started firing, the first platoon, with some 20 personnel, got ambushed but the second platoon could not reach it because of the hostile terrain and the presence of a small nullah in between, a senior State police officer said. The State went without a Director-General of Police for several weeks following the government’s decision to bypass seniormost officers and Naxal expert Giridhari Nayak, to appoint a relatively junior officer to the post. Maoist military commanders earlier told The Hindu that if they did not “engage” the forces between March and June, the rebels would come under attack, with the green forest cover disappearing from winter till the onset of monsoon.
