According to Police, around 100 cadres of Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist) from Chhattisgarh and Maharashtra have sneaked into Madhya Pradesh over the past few months to expand their base, reports NDTV on January 3. This has prompted the State government to seek deployment of six companies of Paramilitary Forces in the rebel-hit areas of the State. These Security Forces (SFs) are likely to be deployed soon in Balaghat and tribal-dominated Mandla Districts, where the Maoists have entered.
