Maoist strongholds are shrinking, but deadly threats persist

The Hindu  

On Monday, eight security personnel were killed when Maoists blew up their vehicle with an improvised explosive device in Bijapur, Chhattisgarh. While there have been isolated attacks that have claimed the lives of security forces in Chhattisgarh, no single incident in the past 600 days has claimed the lives of eight or more security personnel. The April 2010 attack in Dantewada, which claimed the lives of 74 Central Reserve Police Force personnel and two police officers, remains the deadliest single incident for security forces in their operation against the insurgents. The second biggest incident took place in March 2007 when hundreds of Maoists attacked a remote police station and killed over 50 security personnel. In contrast, 24 security personnel died in Maoist incidents last year, the second-lowest number since 2000.
