Union Ministry for Home Affairs (UMHA) adviser K. Vijay Kumar stressed on better interstate cooperation to combat LeftWing Extremism (LWE) effectively along the borders of Jharkhand and its neighbouring Naxalitehit states, reports The Telegraph. During a fourhour meeting at the Jharkhand Police headquarters in Ranchi on January 22, Kumar is understood to have directed state Police and paramilitary forces to "reactivate" the "Operational Area" (OA) strategy and set up "Interstate Joint Task Force" to crack down on Communist Party of India Maoist ( CPI Maoist) and other rebel groups, who have been using porous borders to give security personnel the slip. "I am happy with outcomes of antiNaxalite operations in Jharkhand. The meeting mainly discussed plans for better interstate coordination and better intelligence network. For example, we have faced problems in trijunction bordering areas (where borders of three states merged). Thus, cooperation among state police is the need of the hour," Kumar said after the meeting without divulging further details.
