SATP releases fake map of Maoist affected Areas in India

A fake map exaggerating the Maoist presence in various states has been released by SATP.

This map which is supposed to be based on 2009 data, claims that the entire state of Chhattisgarh was highly affected by Maoist activities including it's capital Raipur ! The data on other states is also highly suspect.


This is followed by a map based on 2011 data that claims sharp reduction of the Maoist affected areas.



This is nothing but propaganda to exaggerate the success of the government operations. Moreover none of these maps are to be taken seriously as nobody knows what the terms " Highly affected", "Moderately affected" and "Marginally Affected" constitute.
