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

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.

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

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.

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 ^

Biggest obstacles for security forces in Anti Naxal Ops : PART 1
- booby traps
- snipers
- light machine guns
- dehydration & fatigue

PART 1 Before starting this thread I'd like to thank all those who provided me with necessary info. Secondly, as you might have noticed, I haven't added IED & landmines, as they are too mainstream and there is no point explaining about the two

Inspectors and State Police Officers collecting hafta on behalf of their Political masters and senior brass is nothing new ! 🥱😴
Political masters set a target which is passed on to senior brass officers, which is then passed on to the lower ranks (Inspectors and DySPs) Money is collected from various sources like-
1. Restaurants, bars, shops to let them run their businesses
2. Convicts, for providing better facilities in jail
3. Police officials, for transfers, recruitment & leaves
4. People who want to get a case resolved outside court

Sir Ji should try brandishing swords in front of Kaneda ki police and then see what happens to them. I finally speak on the hooliganism of these so called protestors.
CONTINUED People have the right to protest, govt has to give all the protestors a platform where they can highlight their grievances. BUT, This comes with clauses and conditions set by the establishment

IMPORTANT NOTICE 🚨
Please spare 2 min of your precious time.
I have noticed that twitter has been taking a toll on my mental health for long, it is not easy to post about a subject (police) which is hated by the masses. People spew hatred w/o any reason on my posts and They give-out statements against the police & the system w/o even knowing the set-up.
It is very difficult to dig out research work on the police (which also happens to be a part of my university course work), the threads on police depts I make are not info that one will get on

Jammu and Kashmir Police
Special Operations Group (SOG) THREAD ↓

HQ - District Police HQ
Strength - 1000/1200
Estb - Dec 1994 / Jan 1995

Much awaited thread is finally here Image Before we dive-in, I'd like to thank a JKP officer who chooses to remain anonymous. He took the pain of explaining the functioning of SOG to me. Interestingly, he has been conferred with a Gallantry Medal for leading SOG teams and gunning down terrorists.
Thank you ☺️💐

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.

This is exactly what I feel. Have to come out of the mentality that either one gets into medicine or follow the usual engineering + MBA combo. When I was going for International Relations and Criminology, many of my relatives (most of them pretty useless) gave unwanted advise As if I was going to hog on their money to pay the fees. They mocked me for taking these two subjects. One even asked me if i was going for a legit course or not (he is an NRI, wasn't expecting this from him)

This is highly unprofessional and brings a bad name to the police department. Strict action should be taken against the personnel. @renukamishra67 Ma'am, would be very kind of you if could intervene or forward the matter to the concerned authorities. Thank You
Cc @akashtomarips Good to see speedy action.

Misleading heading. UP badly needed an SISF. Have been following this for quite some time now

Investors while evaluating destinations in India also evaluate the Security scenario. If the state fails to provide Security then no investments would flow in.
theprint.in/india/governan… 1. It's a mere SISF unit, nothing more. Confined to industrial parks and factories
2. Police can still arrest you w/o a warrant, nothing has has changed
3. UP HC ordered the creation of this force
4. You can still challenge an arrest in the court

This is how media manipulates
