The editorial
Source: The Economic Times · 2 May 2019We condemn the attack on Maharashtra policemen by Maoists in Gadchiroli that has killed 15 men in uniform and the driver of the vehicle that the Maoists blew up with an explosive device. The Maoists were evidently observing the anniversary of 40 of their comrades being killed a year ago in a police action in Gadchiroli. The Maharashtra police chief says there was no intelligence failure. This is credible — after all, it was natural to expect violence on the part of the Maoists as they observed a martyrs’ week starting April 22 and there was no need for any specific tip-off.
