India rebel offensive intensifies Updated - 12/3/2010 - bbc.co.uk.
Indian security forces have intensified their operations against Maoist rebels, officials say. Thousands of forces have joined those already operating in jungle areas of three eastern states where the rebels have a formidable presence. A major security offensive - Operation Green Hunt - to flush out the rebels is under way in several states. More than 6,000 people have died during the rebels’ 20-year fight for communist rule in many Indian states. The rebels have a presence in about a third of India’s 600-odd districts. Prime Minister Manmohan Singh has described the Maoist insurgency as India’s "greatest internal security challenge". The newly-arrived federal forces are now moving into the jungles of West Bengal, Orissa and Jharkhand states that may house a number of rebel hideouts.
