Complacency and poor anticipation by the local police was evident when on 7 December India’s third terrorist incident in 2010, a blast at a crowded temple in Varanasi occurred, killing an eighteen-month-old girl and injuring 32 others.

Failure To Counter Naxalism in Bihar: An Indigenous View
Nov 2, 2010
|
|
The Lakhisarai kidnapping episode exposed the perils of hands off counter Naxal approach of the Bihar government under Mr Nitish Kumar. A number of times during the crisis, the Chief Minister seemed to resign to the fate of kidnapped police personnel and appeared dependent on generosity of the Maoist forces. This helplessness of the State government was to say the least a pathetic approach which demonstrated weakness of the State. All the statements and moves made by the Chief Minister were to appease the Maoist forces. |
