Confused personnel entering urban area (6)
I believe the answer is:
thrown
'confused' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)
'personnel entering urban area' is the wordplay.
'personnel' becomes 'HR' (Human Resources).
'entering' is an insertion indicator.
'urban area' becomes 'town' (town is a kind of urban area).
'hr' placed into 'town' is 'THROWN'.
(Other definitions for thrown that I've seen before include "Confused; chucked" , "Rabindranath ---, Indian sage" , "baffled" , "Tossed" , "Hurled, flung" .)
