Raipur:
A day after Home Minister P Chidambaram asked state governments to review deployment of paramilitary forces, the Chhattisgarh Director General of Police (DGP) has blamed the CRPF for becoming easy targets.
The state police chief has said they cannot teach the jawans how to walk.
"What does responsibility mean? Responsibility means that the facilities that we can give, we give. Responsibility means that we together give deployment. Responsibility does not mean that we teach them how to walk," Chhattisgarh DGP Vishwa Ranjan said.
We can't answer why CRPF is ambushed repeatedly, Ranjan added.
Home Ministry officials have told PTI that the government is working on a plan for reconfiguration, redeployment and strengthening of the paramilitary forces in Chhattisgarh, Jharkhand, Orissa and West Bengal phase-wise in consultation with the state governments.
"It has become necessary to review the deployment of forces and a suitable decision will be taken according to the operational requirement and developmental reasons," a Home Ministry official said.
However, no Central forces deployed in a particular state will be moved out from that state, he added.
The plan will be implemented first in Chhattisgarh where CRPF has faced maximum casualties in the recent past, the distances of troop posts will be reduced and in some cases the number of personnel will be increased while in other cases the posts will be relocated.
After Chhattisgarh, the plan will be implemented in Jharkhand, Orissa and West Bengal. (Read: Chhattisgarh Naxal attack: What went wrong)

Meanwhile, in yet another Maoist attack in Chhattisgarh on Thursday, three informers were killed in Narayanpur district. What's worse, the Naxals left bombs under the informers' bodies, making it impossible for security personnel to remove them from the site. (Read: Maoists kill 3 informers in Chhattisgarh)
