Naxalites are spreading themselves nicely in Maharashtra
February 1, 2009 was a Black Sunday for the Maharashtra Police who lost 15 policemen including one sub-inspector to a group of armed Naxals in an encounter in the jungles of Markegaon village in Gadchiroli district. For the first time, security personnel in such large numbers were killed by the Naxals in Maharashtra.
According to sources, the newly-formed Border-Platoon Dalam is involved in the ambush. The Markegaon area is close to the Maharashtra-Chhattisgarh border.
Reportedly, the ambush triggered after Naxalites belonging to Tippagarh Dalam burnt down a road roller and a tractor engaged in building a bridge on Sawargaon-Kotgul road, near Markegaon, on January 30.
On February 1, the police team was heading towards Markegaon, 45 kms from Dhanora, to investigate the January 30 attack, when the Naxals attacked them. The rebels had reportedly gathered in the area – adjoining Chhattisgarh’s Rajnandgaon district – in huge numbers. The encounter saw 15 policemen fighting valiantly against a hundred odd Naxals but lost the battle after they ran out of ammunition. The bodies of the policeman were mutilated. The rebels fled with two INSAS (Indian National Small Arms System), one two-inch mortar, six self-loading rifles, one pistol and six AK47s.
The last time such an attack happened was in 1992, when nine policemen were killed by rebels. Now, following the killing, a high alert has been sounded in Maharashtra, Chhattisgarh and Andhra Pradesh.
The police remains woefully ill equipped. For instance, Anti Naxals Operation’s (ANO) request for a helicopter in Maharashtra has remained in limbo with the Central and state governments for a long time. On February 1, a helicopter was sought from the Chhattisgarh government. According to senior ANO officials, the chopper would have been helpful - if the relief party had landed in time. The dilly-dallying of the officials working in the affected districts has affected the working and morale of the police force.
