Indian Army trains paramilitary for anti-naxal drive
The Indian Army within the framework of the Government’s Counter Naxal Strategy is extending training and advice to Central Police Organisations (CPOs)/State Police Forces in Naxal affected States. 139 companies of State Police Forces / CPOs have been trained so far. There is no proposal to deploy Army in the Naxal affected areas.
To help States maintain law and order and for tackling insurgency and Naxalite problem more effectively, 15 Bns of CRPF, 20 Bns of SSB and 12 Indian Reserve Bns have been sanctioned.
India has also comprehensively revised the Security-Related Expenditure Scheme for Naxal affected areas to make it more beneficial to the affected States. The Naxal-affected States have been exempted from the payment of cost of deployment of Central Para Military Forces on anti-Naxalite duty.
