The Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF) has opened 20 new security camps in Left Wing Extremism (LWE) affected States in the past six months, according to a senior CRPF official.
Eight such camps have been operationalised in Chhattisgarh, four each in Jharkhand and Odisha, one each in Maharashtra and Bihar and two in Telengana.
CRPF is one of the largest central armed police force (CAPF) deployed in LWE areas to assist the State police in conducting operations against the Maoists.
