The Punjab CM described the Maoist attack as a dastardly act aimed at creating panic in the minds of the people.
Union Home Minister Amit Shah on Wednesday spoke to Chhattisgarh Chief Minister Bhupesh Baghel and took stock of the Dantewada incident that claimed the lives of 10 District Reserve Guard (DRG) personnel and one driver.
The recruits will be given formal education up to Class 10 and will be confirmed in the service only after acquiring the qualification of Class 10 pass.
According to police, Maoist in remote villages of Bastar had recently put up posters calling for a boycott of the panchayat polls.
According to the early trends, Devti Karma of Congress was leading by a margin of 2,778 votes against her nearest rival Ojaswi Mandavi of the BJP.
The bypoll was necessitated due to the death of BJP MLA Bhima Mandavi in a Naxal attack in April.
The deployment of women commandos would alter a strategic imbalance. A large number of women participate in insurgent activities and often create conditions which male policemen find difficult to deal with. In a sense the Chhattisgarh Police have “stolen a march” over the Army.
There is little doubt that Wednesday’s mayhem in Odisha’s Kandhamal district, on the day before the Assembly election, was intended to disrupt the second phase of the general election to five Lok Sabha and 35 seats of the state legislature.
The attack came less than 48 hours before voting begins for the Lok Sabha elections in Bastar.
