Karkala, Mar 3: It seems quite clear that the Anti Naxal Force (ANF) needed an attack to wake up from their slumber. After the Naxal attack on Sadanand Shetty's house at Mutlupady on Monday February 27, the ANF has now intensified its combing operations in the area.  The security that was provided to the Sadanand Shetty's house at Mutlupady has been withdrawn.

The ANF troops led by Karkala circle inspector Timmayya and SI Srinivas Raju continued combing operations in the Naxal hit areas of the taluk on Thursday March 2 too.  However, they are yet to nab or spot any of the Naxals going around in the area.

At the same time, both ANF and police are not giving out any information to people and scribes as in which place they are carrying out the combing operations.  This is primarily done to protect themselves from being spotted by Naxalites.   There is also a growing feeling that locals are supporting the Naxalites in various ways.  One among them is by constantly keeping the Naxalites informed about the ANF and police movements.

So the police are not revealing any information about their whereabouts too.  This means only the time can tell whether they will be able to attain success in their mission or not.
