Gujarat Police gears up against Naxal threat

The Gujarat police is carrying out study of the Naxal problem in other states thoroughly. Gujarat’s 18 IPS officers were recently sent to Naxal affected states for this purpose. The officers working in Gujarat police but belonging to Naxal affected states were selected and sent to the state they hailed from.

After they returned a meeting was held in Gandhinagar based Gujarat police headquarter. A co-ordination team with IG-rank officials was created. Gujarat police also planned a special wing in the state intelligence bureau to keep a watch on Naxal activities in the state. District police units are being trained to collect information on Naxals.

It should be mentioned here that eight Naxal suspects were arrested last month from various parts of Gujarat and outside. They are now in Surat sub jail.
