Amid cries and loud chanting of ‘Bharat Mata ki Jai’, wreaths were laid on Thursday at the mortal remains of 10 police personnel and a civilian driver who died in a blast. Women, children and other family members of the deceased were seen crying while women security personnel were trying to console them. “Now, there is no need to go to Sukma to reach Jagargunda as roads have been built from Aranpur and Bhairamgarh to reach there. Puvarti (in Bijapur district), which is called the headquarters of Hidma (dreaded Naxal commander), has now been surrounded from all sides (by security force camps),” he said. Baghel said roads were being constructed in the interior pockets of Bastar division and police camps were being set up.“People’s confidence in the government has grown. Naxalites were pushed to the back foot, and such an attack has happened after a gap of two years which was carried out by them out of disappointment,” he added.

Asked about the government’s claims to have contained Naxal activities, Baghel said, “Earlier, jawans were attacked in their camps, but now jawans have been taking on Naxalites in the forests after carrying out search operations. Now our jawans do not lose their lives in camps.“He said Naxalites carry out their Tactical Counter Offensive Campaign (TCOC) in summer when the visibility increases in the forest as leaves and grasses get dried. This period is suitable both for the security forces and Naxalites, but this time the security personnel suffered more loss, the Congress leader said. Bharatiya Janata Party’s Chhattisgarh in-charge Om Mathur and other leaders also attended the wreath-laying ceremony and paid tribute to the martyred personnel. With inputs from agencies.
