The resulting death of 24 paramilitary personnel of the Eastern Frontier Rifles, and several believed to be abducted, made the attack a hard blow to the government's fight against the rebels.<ref name="htimes1">{{cite news|url=http://www.hindustantimes.com/Maoist-attack-Chidambaram-accepts-failure/H1-Article1-509356.aspx|title=Maoist attack: Home Minister accepts failure in some aspects|date=16 February 2010|newspaper=[[Hindustan Times]]|accessdate=17 February 2010|location=New Delhi|agency=[[Press Trust Of India]]|url-status=dead|archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20100218053511/http://www.hindustantimes.com/Maoist-attack-Chidambaram-accepts-failure/H1-Article1-509356.aspx|archivedate=18 February 2010}}</ref><ref name="timesofindia1">{{cite news|url=http://articles.timesofindia.indiatimes.com/2010-02-16/india/28149839_1_maoist-attack-people-s-liberation-guerrilla-army-efr|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110811040408/http://articles.timesofindia.indiatimes.com/2010-02-16/india/28149839_1_maoist-attack-people-s-liberation-guerrilla-army-efr|url-status=dead|archive-date=11 August 2011|title=Maoists kill 21 jawans in West Bengal|date=16 February 2010|author2=Mandal, Caesar|accessdate=17 February 2010|location=New Delhi|agency=[[Times News Network|TNN]]|newspaper=[[The Times of India]]|author1=Mahato, Sukumar}}</ref><ref name="ndtv1">{{cite news|url=http://www.ndtv.com/news/india/maoists_attack_police_camp_in_west_midnapore.php|title=Naxals massacre cops, furious Centre wants answers|author=Banerjee, Monideepa|date=16 February 2010|newspaper=[[NDTV]]|accessdate=17 February 2010|location=New Delhi}}</ref>
