Director General of Police (DGP), G S Rath on August 24 praised Policemen saying that although the State has been known for its notorious Naxalite [Left Wing Extremist (LWE)] activities in country, seized documents from Naxalites also revealed that the outfit has suffered maximum loss in Jharkhand. "Police after going through the recovered Naxalite documents found Maoists accepting that their outfit has been hit hard in Jharkhand. Maoists are facing a tough challenge from the Jharkhand police," said Rath while addressing the closing ceremony of Jharkhand State Level Shooting Competition-2012. Rath in his speech pointed out that this time very few police officers have participated in the competition owing to of dearth of officials in the State. "However this was first time in past 18 years when appointment of SIs in the state has taken place. But still there is a need of more officers. State Police requires 1000-1200 sub-inspectors of which few hundred vacancies have been filled up but still 700 more officers are yet to be recruited. There is also shortage of officials in direct DSP [Deputy Superintendant of Police] ranks. Anyway, despite inadequate manpower our force is doing well," said Rath.
