Dear friends,
DG's Message
Vol.7
I extend my warm wishes on the festive occasions of Holi, Ugadi, Vaisakhi & Ramnavmi to you
and your family members.
Last two months were special in respect of operational achievements. In the LWE theatre,
Jharkhand has had significant achievements. In addition to recovery of huge quantity of
arms/ammunitions, explosives and other items, the troops apprehended many significant
CPI(M) cadres/naxals involved in brazen incidents of attack/ambush on Security Forces.
In the month of March this year, we lost 12 of our valiant soldiers of 191 and 30 Bn. (Attached with
192 Bn.). in action against the naxalite cadres in Gadchiroli. I salute their martyrdom, pray for
their departed souls and offer my deep condolences to the bereaved families of these true
gallant soldiers. In the same month, we have successfully operated in the so called 'Liberated
Zone' of Maoists in the area of Bijapur, Narayanpur, Dantewada of Chhattisgarh which has been
inaccessible till now for Government agencies. The operation has been a big morale booster, not
only for CRPF but also for other Security Forces/agencies working in the area and raised the
level of our confidence in Jungle Warfare & Tactics. Naxals are on backfoot after this operation.
Adding another feather to its cap, the CRPF extended effective support and co-operation to the
local administration/Police in the five states of Punjab, Uttarakhand, Uttar Pradesh, Manipur and
Goa going for polling. Infact the CRPF extended 216 Coys- the largest number of force to
enable this mammoth turnover of democracy's event. I appreciate the role of our disciplined
troops.
Two important points I want to share with you. One, is the large number of deaths of force
personnel due to Motor Vehicle accidents, during leave period. I notice an alarming trend in this.
Your life is precious not only for the Nation, the Organisation, but also for your family members.
Hence you must understand your responsibility towards all and abide by traffic discipline and
rules for your safety. Two, precise tactical movements will ensure safety and security of your
own self and that of your colleagues. The security SOPs and jungle tactics need to be followed
by the troops in toto for greater success, as a Bible.
Training is the key to success. If training is good, we can win any battle. Fusion of Technology
and Tactics has been the mantra and is the theme for this issue. In fact we have decided to
devote every issue that would be bi-monthly, to a special theme from now on, in this refurbished
Newsletter. Contribute generously.
Fusion of Tactics with Technology...

AWARDS & HONOURS
SHRI R. K. SINGH, AC AWARDED 'SHAURYA CHAKRA'
CRPF officer who lost a limb in naxal operation gets 'Shaurya Chakra' Even an
amputated left-leg did not deter CRPF Assistant Commandant R K Singh from
blowing up a Naxal hideout secured by hundreds of landmines in Jharkhand and the daring act
won him the 'Shaurya Chakra' this Republic day. Credited in the paramilitary force as the man who
averted a major ambush on CRPF, Shri Singh has been awarded the military medal for "great
determination, extraordinary courage and conspicuous bravery despite being grievously injured" during the
operation
The incident, where a 100-strong Naxal cadre surrounded the joint patrol party of CRPF and Jharkhand police in
Lohardaga district, left Singh with an amputated leg and incapacitating him for operations for the rest of his life. The
encounter was so deadly that it claimed the lives of 11 security force personnel (six CRPF and five Jharkhand
police) while 44 were injured and many of them grievoulsy.
It was a difficult terrain and deadly Naxal trap that the police and CRPF personnel were stuck in. Shri Singh, despite
being grievously injured and bleeding profusely faced the risk of succumbing as few of his co-troops had already
succumbed, but he did not lose nerve. He remained in communication with the senior officers and kept exhorting
troops to fight back and defeat the Naxals. His exhortation galvanised the troops to retaliate even more fiercely. It
was his extraordinary leadership that averted a major calamity.

Saranda-Myth Punctured
It's ShowTime in pristine world, home of one fourth of
country's iron ore, rich with all its natural splendour,
majestic Sal forest and finally more specifically lets name
that land where tricolour was hoisted first time after the
state of Jharkhand was constituted in 2000- "SARANDA".
Facts of these pronouncement solemnly lie with gallantry,
chivalry, comradeship and above all to sacrifices of
martyrs of gallant force of the land CRPF in general and
209 CoBRA in particular.
Entire 820 square kilometres area of Saranda was under
control of CPI (Maoist) since 2000. The action of Police
and government machinery in forest had led the banned
outfits to run a parallel government in the isolated village
in Saranda. Maoist had control in the forest of Saranda
having approximately 125000 Adivasis/ 10,000 families .
Maoist recruited hundreds of youths establishing a major
training camp comprising concrete accommodation,
bathroom separated for men & women on over five acres
of land in the Saranda forest.
Operation with code name ANACONDA launched in
monsoon for librating the librated zone from maoist
dominance. The well planned historical operation took
place in the lush green Sal-tree forest which cannot be
navigated during monsoon as it snakes through kuchcha
red-soiled roads. More than 400 of our force personnel got
ill during the month long operation and many suffered
from malaria (PF & PV) that they are still combating.
Intensity of difficulty can also be judged on the basis that
even pilot was not able to locate the landing ground.
However moral was upbeat even in such inhospitable
terrain under difficult climatic conditions. Result is for
everybody to see.
Unprecedented success that is unmeasurable on any
parameter. Un-numbered explosive with trigger
mechanism, un-accountable materials, spread out base
camp and training camp of Naxals developed over a
period of time have been busted. For
the first time in last one decade, entire Saranda area was
surveyed under security net. Now the envisaged Saranda
action plan has been devised. Saranda is now a frequent
visiting place of development officials, which once used to
be a land of terror. This unprecedented re-occupation or
liberation has not only drawn decisive line for future
assignment but has also proved strength of our very
foundation.
Saranda red zone is now a liberated green zone.

Introduction of Sector Insignia in CRPF
In order to distinguish the identification of our troops from other Forces, wearing of
formation sign came into existence in CRPF. With the growth of the Force and change in
deployment policy, the need for introduction of Sector Insignia was felt.
Accordingly, with the approval of DG, CRPF, a system of wearing Sector Insignia has
been introduced through a Circular issued in January 2012 (letter No. U.II-1/11-12-Prov-
Clo dated 18/1/2012). The Sectors have formulated different insignias in accordance with
the role of their duties and geological conditions of the area in which they operate. The
insignia will be worn by the troops upon left sleeve as per guidelines issued in the
Circular. This would provide special identity to each Sector and also adding to the
cohesive mindset within a Sector.
Personnel posted in Directorate General/Zone Hqrs will wear existing Force level
Formation Sign. RAF/CoBRA personnel will continue wearing their existing Insignia.
The Sector Insignia will be worn by the Sector personnel irrespective of their
deployment.

Karwan-e-Aman : CRPF Sponsored Kashmiri Girls Tour to South India
The 18-day tour to Chennai, Coimbatore, Ooty and Trivandrum comprising twenty children (all girls) from Rahat Ghar, Srinagar
was organized and conducted by CRPF Srinagar Sector. Rahat Ghar is a Kashmir Intervention programme of Guild of Service, a
Delhi-based NGO run by Smt Mohini Giri supporting young children some of whom have lost their parents in the ongoing militancy
and some other who have been deprived of the basic schooling facilities due to weak financial background. During the tour, the group
besides site-seeing at prominent tourist locations including Vikram Sarabhai Space Centre in Trivandrum, Marina and Kovalam
beach, Snake and Fun Park, the hill station at Ooty and the southern-most tip of the country, Kanyakumari also called on Hon'ble CM
of Kerala, Commissioner of Police, Coimbatore and Shri K Vijay Kumar, DG CRPF at Delhi. The tour was aimed at providing the
children with a platform and an opportunity to see and experience different parts of the country to enable them to gain confidence and
make themselves better students and members of the society. Sharing their unique experiences of the tour, the children narrated their
rich interaction with their counterparts in various schools and functions organized during the tour. They said they felt elated by the
encouragement they had received from all quarters including when they met DG CRPF in Delhi on 02.03.2012 and had realized that
good education was the key and they should put in their best efforts to make a mark in life.
