A five-member committee - Internal Security Challenges Group headed by former Home Secretary VK Duggal - held a meeting with top cops and officials of the State Government in a bid to strengthen the intelligence sharing module in the wake of the intense anti-Maoist operations in affected States.
Apart from Duggal, the four other members of ISGS are former Chief of Intelligence Bureau PC Haldhar, D Shivanandan (former DGP Maharashtra Police), Brajeswar Singh (Former Secretary External Affairs) and Uday Kumar Singh (consultant).
Highly placed sources said that the group took stock of ongoing anti-Naxal operations in different parts of Jharkhand. The meeting is important in the wake of the elimination of dreaded Naxal leader and second-in-command of the banned CPI (Maoist) Mallojula Koteshwara Rao aka Kishanji.
The team reviewed the current level of preparedness of the State Government and police force to counter Naxalism. As Jharkhand joins the border of Naxal-affected States like West Bengal, Chhattisgarh and Odisha, the officials of the State Government informed that major operations are being carried in the border areas. In Saranda forest area, where the security forces pushed back the Maoists, the Group took note of the strategy of the police so that Maoists never succeed in entering here in the future.
