India's security forces kill dozens to crush leftovers

The security forces killed at least 27 people in Central India on Wednesday, in an operation that the police said that the militants of the communist militants had targeted when the authorities intensify a military campaign that aims to defeat the country's decades.

Prabhat Kumar, a police chief in the state of Chhattisgarh, said that “several Maoist cadres were killed in the operation on Wednesday” on Wednesday. Local media reported that a top leader of the rebels, Nambala Keshav Rao, who goes from Basavaraju, was among the people killed.

Last week, the government said in a further bloody confrontation that it killed 31 members of the movement, which are normally referred to as Maoist, in a hilly region between Chhattisgarh and a neighboring state.

Amit Shah, India's Interior Minister, called this operation a “historical breakthrough”. He set a period of March because he wiped out the entire uprising that has been tailor -made for more than 50 years.

Human rights activists have requested investigations to see whether all these killed were actually militants or whether innocent civilians belonged to the dead.

Bela Bhatia, a lawyer who works in regions affected by the uprising, said that the rapid identification of the corpses by family members was decisive, but the government often took days to present corpses.
