The Indian government has beefed up security in the central state of Chhattisgarh to increase protection of iron-ore mining assets in the region from threats posed by ultra-left-wing extremists. Besides increasing deployment of central paramilitary personnel, the new security protocol is based on intelligence gathering and pre-emptive information being available to paramilitary forces through the deployment of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV) for surveillance of iron-ore mines across Chhattisgarh.
