00:00The year was 2007-08, when the Bhagpa Mawadis had their own empire.
00:07To end this empire, the government of Jharkhand and the Giri department started picket policing.
00:14The medium of this picketing policing was to make pickets in Naxalite houses and to arrange soldiers there.
00:20In the same way, helicopters were also made to help the soldiers.
00:25In Jharkhand-Bihar border, the first helipad was made in Palamu.
00:32After that, 55 helipads were made in Palamu.
00:36We are present at that helipad, which was made in 2008.
00:40You can see that the helipad is still there.
00:43A large-scale campaign against the Naxalites was launched from there.
00:46The Giri minister, Shivraj Singh Patil, and the Giri Sachi, R.K.Singh,
00:54landed on this helipad and launched a campaign against the Naxalites.
00:58The Chakka helipad has played a major role in Palamu, in the Naxal movement and in the Naxal campaign.
01:07During the 2014 and 2019 elections, the EVM machines and ballot papers were distributed through heli-dropping.
01:23The helipad in Palamu played a major role in the casualties of the Naxal operation and the visits of senior officers.
01:35The situation has changed now.
01:38Almost 95% of Palamu's Naxal population has been wiped out.
01:47The helipad is like a monument for the police department.
01:51The helipad is a part of our ticket and is a treasured and prized possession.
01:58The utility of the helipad is not used for that purpose, but it is a historic helipad.
02:04It will always be in the memory of the Palamu police.
02:10This helipad is still a witness to the Chakka helipad's special importance in the Naxal campaign.
02:17The special importance of this helipad is that it went to Palamu
02:21The helipad is located on the Chhatra border.
02:23The helipad used to be a unified command.
02:27The Naxal operation was carried out from here.
02:30Monitoring was carried out from here.
02:32Two companies of the CRPF were stationed here for about a decade.
02:35Now, the CRPF has been closed.
02:37The IRB personnel have been stationed here.
02:41During the Vidhan Sabha and Lek Sabha elections, the same helipad was used by the polling party.
02:49After a decade, there has been a change in this area.
02:52Now, through this helipad, it has been used to help the youth in dire times.
