As the troops are aggressively launching anti-Maoist operations in the conflict zone of Bastar zone, the IEDs remain the easiest weapon for the banned outfit to inflict damage on the security forces, said Brigadier (rtd) B K Ponwar, a guerrilla warfare expert.Shah declared the deadline on eliminating the left-wing extremists with the revised plan of action aimed at final assault against the rebels with the twin objectives.First, the efforts were directed to establish rule of law in the Maoist-affected areas, and second, to develop the area that witnessed destruction. Chief Minister Vishnu Deo Sai had said that the battle against the Maoists would continue till they were wiped out.So far 157 Maoist cadres have been neutralised by security forces, 663 arrested and 556 surrendered this year since January in the conflict-ridden Bastar zone.
