India's border security forces(BSF) in a report to home minister Rajnath Singh have said that Naxals are training their personnel in "remote control bombs" to be used against the security forces.

According to the report last month, a training document was recovered from the Maoists in Dantewada in Chhattisgarh. The report said the Naxals intend to use remote logs as they engage in a conspiracy to use the mines against the security forces.

The documents pointed to the use of cars and the bikes being tagged to the remote control bombs against the security forces. Naxals are providing training to the "teachers" so that they learn to use the mines, the report added. The BSF has recovered photographs of the remote-controlled bombs.

According to a report by intelligence agencies, in Chhattisgarh's Bijapur Maoists have formed a small action team to attack police informers and politicians. The Naxal team have also identified the camps of security forces.

The sources said there is a danger of "body mines" being used in Gadchiroli. According to the report, the Maoists can attack the soldiers and plant mines in their body so that they can be seen to be "trapping" the security forces.  According to the report, the Naxals have used the mines against the security forces earlier.

The Naxals have been using jungles in Chattisgarh and Madhya Pradesh as training grounds, the report revealed.
