In yet another ambush by the Maoists in Sukma District, seven policemen of Chhattisgarh’s Special Task Force (STF) were gunned down and 11 were injured at Pidmal village near Dornapal in Sukma District of the Bastar Division of Chattisgarh. This ambush, which took place on the morning of 11 April 2015, had striking similarities to the one carried out four months earlier by the Maoists on 1 December 2014, in the Kasalpad forest area of Sukma district.
Set backs do happen in security force operations, but what is worrying is the explanations that came out from various quarters after every such incident.
Apparently, the right lessons were not learnt from the Kasalpad ambush and it is unlikely that any will be learnt from this one too, because the truth is unpalatable and difficult to digest.
