Naxal attack in Chhattisgarh: A day after 10 policemen and a civilian driver were killed by Naxals in an IED blast questions are swirling if authorities ignored standard operating procedures. Why was the vehicle that was attacked not better protected? Did authorities ignore a previous threat issued by the Maoists?
Two days before the incident, a demining procedure as part of a road clearance operation was carried out before the troops passed along it, but the IED could not be detected, a top officer said.
