Naxal attack on CRPF men killing atleast 73 Security Personnel

The attack on CRPF jawans and killing several of them  by the Naxals in Chattisgarh early this morning comes as a rude shock to all  the citiizens.  There were at least 1000 Naxals prepared to launch this offensive against a small contingent of  100 odd CRPF Jawans who were ambushed and killed mercilessly.  These men in uniform were on duty helping the state to eliminate Terrorism caused by the Naxal movement.  It is quite clear and  surprising to note that the Naxals have thrown an open challenge to the Government of India and dared them. 

If the government does not treat this as a War on the State and still invite and expect  these anti-national forces to lay their arms and come to the negotiating table, they are sadly mistaken and will stand a mute witness to this cowardly attack and killings of innocent people.  At the first instance, knowing pretty well that the area of attack was vulnerable, who authorised the dispatch of a small contingent  of jawans to fight a mighty force of Naxals who outnumbered the Jawans many fold?  There is a conspiracy attached to this incident and the strategy of the security force would have leaked and information passed on to the Naxals who were waiting for this contingent of CRPF jawans to walk into their trap like sitting ducks!  There are certain military procedures which are to be adopted while sending forces to counter terrorists which, I think were ignored. There should be intelligence report about the safety of the area etc. Before moving a contingent to a known sensitive area, the way that the convoy would take and follow will have to be sanitised and cleared.  There could have been some aerial survey of the area or satellite imaging done for any doubtful movements.  Apparently, all the pre-requisites were ignored and  a whole contingent of precious and valuable lives have been sacrificed.  The Government should immediately declare an emergency and treat this gruesome  incident as a War on the State and take effective steps including sending Army and Air Force to eliminate these Naxal forces who are a stumbling block for any development.  Any common citizen would dread to go these places or even visit fearing death warrant! The Home Minister and other leaders can only express grief and shock and probably order some  compensation for the families.  The government will find it difficult to recruit persons for serving the Security force in the coming days if this kind of simple sacrifice is made by the government instead of dealing the situation with an iron hand!
