Which one of the following statements about Salwa Judum, the Special Force created to counter Maoist insurgency, is not correct ?

Salwa Judum was a state-sponsored militia established in Chhattisgarh in 2005 to counter Maoist insurgency [t2][t9]. It comprised approximately 6,500 Special Police Officers (SPOs), also known as Koya Commandos [t1][t3]. The movement was initially known as Jan Jagran Abhiyan, a campaign aimed at isolating Naxalites from their support base [t4]. In July 2011, the Supreme Court of India declared the militia unconstitutional and ordered the Chhattisgarh government to disband it [t1][t3]. Statement 3 is incorrect because the force was not 'fully funded' solely by the Chhattisgarh government; it received significant support from the Central Government. Under the Police Modernization Scheme, the Union Government provided substantial financial assistance, including reimbursement for the salaries and training of SPOs, making it a joint state-central financial undertaking rather than an exclusively state-funded initiative [t1][t6][t10].
