Rising concern about Maoist insurgency

The killing of 24 troops this week by Maoist rebels has raised concerns over whether security forces can successfully battle the insurgents, officials and analysts said yesterday. The jungle clash in central India erupted after a unit of 100 soldiers and armed police went to check on a suspected rebel camp only to find themselves heavily outnumbered and outgunned, security sources said. The estimated 500 guerrillas in insurgency-hit Chhattisgarh state were equipped with bullet-proof jackets and helmets, mortars, automatic weapons, rocket launchers and advanced improvised explosive devices.
