'''Operation Green Hunt''' is the name used by the [[Indian media]] to describe the "all-out offensive by [[Paramilitary forces of India|paramilitary forces]] and the [[State Armed Police Forces|states forces]]" against the [[Naxalite]]s.<ref name="TH-101706">{{cite news |title=Green Hunt: the anatomy of an operation |url=http://www.thehindu.com/opinion/op-ed/green-hunt-the-anatomy-of-an-operation/article101706.ece |first=Aman |last=Sethi |newspaper=The Hindu |date=6 February 2013 |access-date=23 October 2013}}</ref> The operation is believed to have begun in November 2009 along five states in the "[[Red Corridor]]."{{Citation needed|date=May 2021}}

The term was coined by the [[Chhattisgarh]] police officials to describe one successful drive against the [[Communist Party of India (Maoist)]] in the state. It was erroneously used by the media to describe the wider anti-Naxalite operations; the government of India does not use the term "Operation Green Hunt" to describe its anti-Naxalite offensive.<ref>{{cite news

In October 2009, the [[Central Reserve Police Force]] (CRPF) announced that it was in the final stages of planning the offensive and had received approval from the [[United Progressive Alliance|Union]]-led government. The [[Commando Battalion for Resolute Action]] (CoBRA) would take the lead in the operations against Maoist insurgents.<ref>{{Citation |title='Centre's Anti-Naxal Plan to be Implemented Soon' |newspaper=[[Outlook (Indian magazine)|Outlook]] |location=Mumbai |publisher=M/s Outlook Publishing (India) Private Limited |date=2009-10-09 |url=http://news.outlookindia.com/item.aspx?667442 |access-date=2010-03-11 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110718084042/http://news.outlookindia.com/item.aspx?667442 |archive-date=18 July 2011 |url-status=dead }}</ref> But in September 2009, the media had already reported a "massive 3 day joint operation" by the CoBRA and [[Chhattisgarh Police|Chhattisgarh police]] against the Maoists in [[Dantewada]].<ref name="TH-101706"/>

At the beginning of November 2009, the first phase of the operation began in [[Gadchiroli district]]. As many as 18 companies of the [[Paramilitary forces of India|central paramilitary forces]] were moved into the area in anticipation of the operation.<ref name=toi20091102>{{Cite news |last=Ali |first=Mazhar |title=First phase of Operation Green Hunt begins |date=2009-11-02 |url=http://articles.timesofindia.indiatimes.com/2009-11-02/nagpur/28083958_1_gadchiroli-cpmf-operation-green-hunt |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110811050717/http://articles.timesofindia.indiatimes.com/2009-11-02/nagpur/28083958_1_gadchiroli-cpmf-operation-green-hunt |url-status=dead |archive-date=2011-08-11 |newspaper=[[The Times of India]] |access-date=2010-03-13}}</ref>

In April 2010, [[Mark Sofer]] had a conversation with [[Buddhadeb Bhattacharjee]] and [[M. K.

Initially in 2009, the government of India had decided to move 80,000 central paramilitary personnel to wage offensive against the Maoists, strengthened by a fleet of 10 [[Military helicopter|armed helicopters]] from the [[Indian Air Force]].<ref>{{cite news |title=10 IAF choppers for rebel combat |url=http://www.telegraphindia.com/1091229/jsp/nation/story_11919512.jsp |work=The Telegraph |publisher=[[ABP Group]] |location=New Delhi |date=29 December 2009 |access-date=23 September 2013}}</ref> On 3 January 2013, the government of India issued a statement that it is deploying 10,000 more central paramilitary personnel in [[Bastar division|Bastar]], Odisha and some parts of Jharkhand.<ref name="SATP-2013">{{cite web |title=Incidents and Statements involving CPI-Maoist: 2013 |url=http://www.satp.org/satporgtp/countries/india/terroristoutfits/CPI_M_Timeline13.htm |publisher=SATP |location=New Delhi |access-date=27 February 2014}}</ref> By May 2013, about 84,000 troops from the CRPF had been stationed in the Red corridor to beef up the offensive.<ref>{{cite news |title=CRPF will launch fresh operations against Naxals in Chhattisgarh, Jharkhand |url=http://newindianexpress.com/nation/CRPF-will-launch-fresh-operations-against-Naxals-in-Chhattisgarh-Jharkhand/2013/05/30/article1612837.ece |work=Indo-Asian News Service |publisher=[[The New Indian Express]] |location=New Delhi |date=30 May 2013 |access-date=15 October 2013}}</ref> Apart from the paramilitary personnel, the [[State Armed Police Forces|SAPF]] personnel deployed in operations against the Maoists are estimated to number around 200,000.<ref name="BS-113092700488">{{cite news |title=Reds in retreat |url=http://www.business-standard.com/article/beyond-business/reds-in-retreat-113092700488_1.html |first1=R. |last1=Krishna Das |first2=Sahil |last2=Makkar |first3=Probal |last3=Basak |first4=Dillip |last4=Satapathy |date=27 September 2013 |access-date=10 October 2013 |newspaper=[[Business Standard]]}}</ref> In his analysis in March 2014, [[Gautam Navlakha]] has claimed that 286,200 CRPF personnel along with 100,000 personnel from other central paramilitary forces and the SAPF are now engaged in the offensive against the CPI (Maoist) in 10 states of India.<ref>{{cite web| title=Ambush amplifies a struggle |url=http://sanhati.com/excerpted/9499/ |first=Gautam |last=Navlakha |author-link=Gautam Navlakha |publisher=Sanhati |date=30 March 2014 |access-date=17 May 2014}}</ref> On 8 June 2014, the [[Minister of Home Affairs (India)|Minister of Home Affairs]] officially approved the deployment of another 10,000 troops from the paramilitary forces to fight against the Maoists in Chhattisgarh.<ref name="TH-6107418">{{cite news |title=Chhattisgarh gears for 'result-oriented' approach against Maoists |url=http://www.thehindu.com/news/national/other-states/chhattisgarh-gears-for-resultoriented-approach-against-maoists/article6107418.ece |first=Pavan |last=Dahat |newspaper=The Hindu |location=Raipur |date=12 June 2014 |access-date=13 June 2014}}</ref>

Recently in August 2014, the Ministry of Home Affairs stated that it is "sending" 2,000 personnel from the [[Naga Regiment|Naga Battalions]] of the [[Nagaland]]'s Indian Reserve Battalions (IRB) in Chhattisgarh's Bastar to attack the Maoists, which according to [[The Economic Times]], would make Bastar "the most–militarised zone in India."

The Indian armed forces' personnel use [[satellite phone]]s and they also have access to [[unmanned aerial vehicle]]s (UAVs).<ref name="BS-113092700488"/> Security forces have been using UAVs in anti-Maoist operations for quite some time in [[Bihar]], [[Chhattisgarh]] and [[Jharkhand]].<ref>{{cite web|title=Bihar Police using UAV Drones to track Maoists Movements|url=http://news.biharprabha.com/2014/02/bihar-police-using-uav-drones-to-track-maoists-movements/|work=Indo-Asian News Service |publisher=Bihar Prabha|access-date=18 February 2014}}</ref> Presently, the UAVs are being provided by the [[National Technical Research Organisation]] (NTRO) and Indian Air Force, but they have not been able to yield desired results for the armed forces.
