The government has no plans to deploy the Army to tackle the Naxals, notwithstanding reverses being faced by paramilitary and police forces, a Home Ministry official said here on Tuesday.
“It is an internal security issue. There is no question of deploying the Army in the anti-Naxal operations,” the official said. Since the Naxal violence is considered a law and order problem, paramilitary and police forces will continue to deal with the Maoists, though there have been casualties among security forces, the official said.
