NAGPUR, Sept 29: A high-level meeting of senior police officers from Maharashtra, Madhya Pradesh and Andhra Pradesh was held here on Monday to take stock of anti-Naxalite operations and work out better coordination between the states’ police units.
Inspector General of Police (IGP), Anti-Naxal Operations (ANO), Rajwade told he Indian Express
late tonight that the meeting, convened by him, was “a routine exercise” to review the police task in the Naxal-infested areas bordering the three states.
Rajwade, who took charge of the ANO over a month ago, said the meeting basically served as a platform for exchange of information on the Naxalites’ movements and activities, besides familiarising the officers with each other.
Two IGPs, six deputy inspectors general from AP, MP and Maharashtra, and a host of superintendents of police operating in the sensitive areas attended the meeting.
The ANO head office was established here during the earlier part of this decade to ensure effective coordination of policeaction in the Naxalite-infested Chandrapur, Gadchiroli and Bhandara districts in the Nagpur Division.
