Nagaland Police Special Task Force (STF) THREAD ↓

HQ - Kohima
Strength - 200 (approx)
Estb - 2019
There are currently 2 teams (100×2)

The force is headed by an Additional Superintendent Of Police (AdSP) which is unusual because I've never heard of a specialised police Cdo unit being led by an AdSP.
TRAINING - The unit first batch of 200 Cdos underwent a basic commando course at Nagaland Police's CIAT School Ruzaphema from 11 March '19 to 24 May '19 (pic 1 & 2)

For further training they were sent to NSG Trg HQ, Manesar (pic 3)
Men for the STF are drawn from the 15 Armed police Battalions which includes Nagaland IRB and Nagaland Armed Police.
In their weapons arsenal they have -
ARM1F 🇧🇬
H&K MP-5 🇩🇪
PLR Sytem X-95 🇮🇳🇮🇱
Glock pistol 🇦🇹
WEAPONS (2)

INSAS Exaclibur Mk1 🇮🇳
INSAS LMG 🇮🇳
Ghatak 🇮🇳
I might sound like a hypocrite, Im all in for police modernisation but for a state like Nagaland the priority should be different. Hope STF confines to 2 teams & don't raise any additional teams only to equip them with expensive equipment

Priorities r different for Nagaland Pol
Reason why I'm saying this is because of the threat which Nagaland faces. The state is categorised as "max. security threat" by MHA but it doesn't faces threats in the Urban Environment (which the STF is made for), Nagaland faces threats in the jungles from the insurgents
So Nagaland, IMO should not waste money by raising more STF Coys. Rather focus more on arming the 15 odd Nagaland Armed Police Battalions with 7.62 rifles (as suggested by CAG) and improve civil Policing by bring back the body worn and dashboard cameras
As we are talking about Nagaland, thought it's important to add that MHA classifies states into Category A and B. Those falling under Cat. A are eligible for a 90:10 funds wherein 90% of funds for Pol Modernisation comes from MHA and state chips in 10%
That's it for today.
Next up - JKP SOG.

How is Odisha tackling the Maoist menace? What's up with Odisha Police right now?

A THREAD 👇🏼
Odisha has been plagued with naxalism since late 1960s. The govt kept on ignoring the rising problem, hence, it snowballed and by 2000s naxals were well-entrenched as they established strong holds in some districts of the state
Currently there are 10 districts which have presence of MCC/Naxals. They are - Bargarh, Balangir, Kalahandi, Kandhamal, Koraput, Malkangiri, Nabarangpur, Nuapada, Rayagada and Sundargarh.

NAXAL HUNTERS (PART-5)

• Estb - 1 Dec 1990
• HQ - Disct Police HQ Gadchiroli & Disct Police HQ Gondia
• Motto - Veerbhogya Vasundhara
Before starting I'd like to thank all the police officers who helped me to connect with Gadchiroli police & get relevant info. All the info present in the thread has been taken from sources like internet, photos & personal interviews of senior police officers (can't be named)
BACKGROUND - Naxals started to pour in from Andhra Pradesh into Maharashtra in the 1980s. At first it was a mere law & order problem, & the naxals were merely small miscreants. Untill in 1988 when the naxals blew up a bus carrying SRPF personnel which killed 7 personnel

Finally after steering out of a disaster which lasted for more than 3 months, Im writing to give some life lessons, i pray that no one goes through the torment i had to go through

Won't exactly reveal the series of events but those who were in touch would be able to figure out
1. EMERGENCY FUNDS - something which is very obvious but is largely ignored. There r many who are financially well-off but don't have an emergency fund.Having money doesn't mean that you have an emergency fund.
It should be highly liquid & have nominees in it.
Example - if my father has created an emergency fund, then my mother & I should have the access to it. In our case it's in the form of FDs & can cover our (3ppl's) medical and other expenses
I'd recommend a mix of FD + Cash + Debt Funds

Developments in #Myanmar is concerning for New Delhi. From what I'm reading, Myanmar army will be soon running out of supplies & won't be able to sustain operations (because of rising cost of gas, falling MM Kyat against USD & short supply of raw material)

Continued ↓
If Delhi supports Naypyidaw based Myanmar Military Govt with supplies, we lose the trust of the locals which has been cemented for centuries. If army falls & NUG comes into play, first thing they'll do is ask India to exit MM

Another Afghanistan, waste of investments

Continued
If we support the exile NUG govt. we lose the support of Naypyidaw. Eyeing this opportunity, Beijing will enter, support the army, won't let them fall & help them crush the protestors.

What if army stays in power, while New Delhi supports NUG rebel govt?

I may not be able to substantiate my claim as I've lost track of my readings of Criminology but it is said that the most influential police force (as in, the dept which has inspired other police forces in the world) is Israel 🇮🇱 & not the USA 🇺🇲 as we usually think
Israel's police has managed to influence a major section of police dept around the globe mainly because of their tactics & that's the biggest problem.
Bcz A country where police & the army are deeply intertwined has managed to create an environment of influence.
Just to be clear, I am a big fan of Israel & Mossad. But their police training modules are not the best
1000s of police officers from round the globe including the US, the UK & India (mainly IPS probies) fly to Israel to receive training, and that's where it gets wrong.

18 of my distant relatives/family friends, residing in different parts of Ranchi have been exposed to #Covid
2 are hospitalised as they are facing difficultly in breathing.
Things are getting pretty serious in #Jharkhand
#MaskUp #StayHome #WashYourHands #SocialDistancing
1. Use N95 mask with ties (please don't use masks with earloops)
2. Ensure that your mask has a nose pin
3. Wear your mask tightly
4. Sanitize your hands after counting money, most of the banks cashiers got covid due to this ^
5. If possible, make payments via digital wallets
