CoBRA squad joins combing operations in Chhattisgarh

The Hindu  

A company of 100 soldiers from the specialised Combat Battalion for Resolute Action squad of the Central Reserve Police Force was deployed in the forests surrounding the Dhaudai police station as combing operations intensified in Chhattisgarh's Narayanpur district after Tuesday's ambush by Maoists killed 27 CRPF personnel. The sources said 59 men of the CRPF's 39th Battalion and one Special Police Officer of the Chhattisgarh police left the Dhaudai camp at 5.00 a.m. on Tuesday. “The company was directed to secure the common ambush points along a seven-km stretch along the Narayanpur-Orcha road as the CRPF was conducting ‘logistics operations'.” Public buses used A police source revealed that the ‘logistical operations' involved using four public buses to transport personnel from Dhaudai to Narayanpur. “The buses were used to ferry those going on leave, and their replacements.” The CRPF's decision to transport them by a public bus could prove controversial as the Maoists blew up a civilian bus in Dantewada last month in an attempt to target the Special Police Officers travelling on its roof.
