Justifying their decision to eliminate dogs, Sidhu Soren, chief of the Gana Militia, said: “Our first-hand experience shows that barking dogs have become a tool of the security forces... This is not an urban area like your city. This is a war zone... This is a strategic decision on our part. You may think this is inhuman. But here, lives are at stake. The dogs are a menace, alerting securitymen who are killing our people.”
“Under the cover of night, our armed squads move through villages, close to the camps of security forces. But our position is compromised by barking strays and we are fired upon by security forces. This has happened in Belpahari, Salboni and Goaltore,” Soren said.
The Maoists have used members of frontal organisations like the People’s Committee Against Police Atrocities to warn against keeping dogs as pets. In some cases, the Maoists even supplied poison to eliminate the dogs.
West Midnapore SP Manoj Verma said: “I will not like to comment on the issue.” But a CRPF officer said “it is true that dogs hang around our camps since we feed them... they do bark if there is movement at night but it is not as if we fire everytime they bark.”

The people who have extended political support to these monsters called Maoists should be whipped in public. Yes, I am pointing at the Bengal Communists, the Secular parties and the NGO's, see for yourselves how you have put the country at risk.
I really wish the inability of Congress and Left to tackle Moaists will be taken care by Dogs.
Why cannot they understand that by doing this they are opening the doors to a future hot war zone. They are the ones who will then compaint in the Centre that provide us the security and on the other hand killing dogs the most faithful animal on the face of the earthh!!! Hence the title to this criticism.
INSTEAD I WISH THEY WOULD POSION THE DOGS IN THE FORM OF HUMAN BEING WHO ARE BEING ELECTED AND ARE ROAMING THE AUGUST HALLS OF THE DEMOCRACY OF INDIA!
Let the most trusted friend of man the dog barks and the ideology of violence by miosts fail.
Somebody has done something about the menace of stray dogs which are dangerous propagating rabies and death to innocent people.The people who own dogs have to take care of them as they take care of children.The security forces can have their own dogs with proper veterinary services.Unwarranted rabies and tetanus should be avoided.Bengal,Bihar,Orissa,MP and AP have to deal with the Maoists and Naxals by political dialogue or war.There cannot be unnecessary destruction of properties and people.Somehow the leadership is not reaching these areas to ally the fears of these people.THE RULING PARTY HAS TO MAKE A SINCERE EFFORT.The propblems have to be resolved.
The dogs now know whom to bite.
