NAINITAL: Uttarakhand police with the help of Central paramilitary forces and different intelligence agencies have decided to step up efforts to track down those responsible for encouraging Maoist insurgency and other Maoist-related activities along the Indo-Nepal border in Kumaon hills and tarai areas.
Police and intelligence sources admit that despite efforts by joint teams of Uttarakhand police and paramilitary forces, including Seema Sureksha Bal (SSB), to check Maoist activities in the areas along the Indo-Nepal border areas during the past four years, the insurgent outfits and their supporters continue to pose a threat to internal security of the state.
Police sources said Maoist groups have been using Kumaon hills and tarai areas as hideouts since 2004. At a meeting of special operation task force (SOTF) here, a decision has been taken to arrest the Maoists and bust their hideouts and training camps operating in remote areas.
The SOTF meeting was held following a directive by inspector-general of police (Kumaon range) Ashok Kumar, who took over recently.
IGP Kumar, it is learnt, has asked SOTF officers to tap their informers to prepare an action plan to plug infiltration of Maoists and anti-national elements from Nepal into India, an officer said.
