Byline: ANI Karkala (Karnataka) Nov 13 (ANI): Karnataka Police on Friday launched a massive anti Naxal operation in the four districts of the Malnad region.
The brutal Naxal attack last week, which killed 17 policemen in Dhanora taluka, has unnerved the people in the area, and prompted a poll boycott by the family of one of the slain policemen in Satara district.
The Naxal menace of today is indeed vastly different, both in character and content as also in its origins and geographical areas of operation; the times have changed a great deal and so have the nature and extent of media coverage, since the insurrections of the 1960s.
