Kolkata Resolving to counter the danger posed by the Maoists in the wake of the attack on a Mumbai-bound train in Jhargram, West Bengal Chief Minister Buddhadeb Bhattacharjee on Friday said operations against the Naxals would be intensified.

“The Maoists have done this work. Operation against them will be intensified and all out efforts be made to free the state and the country from this danger,” he told reporters here. The Chief Minister said it was a difficult job but “we will confront them”.

Expressing strong resolve to counter the Maoist danger, Bhattacharjee said they had fought the Naxals in the sixties and seventies and defeated them politically. They again raised their heads from outside the state like Andhra Pradesh. “We are opposing them politically and administratively,” he said.

Asked whether there was any intelligence failure, he said that they (Maoists) have given a call for ‘black day’ and accordingly police force was reorganised. “But we had no idea that they will resort to such dastardly crime against innocent people,” he said.
