Chhattisgarh’s security apparatus is in full battle mode in South Bijapur, where a DRG-led anti-Naxal foray has ignited a fierce, ongoing exchange with Maoist guerrillas. Intelligence pinpointing high-value targets prompted the ambitious sweep, which met resistance at 7 AM amid the misty jungles.
The Maoists, lying in wait, initiated hostilities, but the battle-hardened DRG responded with disciplined fire, turning the ambush against the attackers. Intermittent volleys echo as forces comb every inch of the challenging terrain.
Strategic reinforcements have locked down all exits, squeezing the Maoists in their lair. The operation’s meticulous execution minimizes risks in this volatile hotspot.
SP Dr. Jitendra Yadav affirmed personnel well-being and high-level supervision, imploring locals to shun the zone and quash misinformation. This reflects a broader surge in proactive raids, steadily reclaiming Naxal territory.
As the dust settles post-encounter, revelations on eliminated threats or recovered arms will spotlight progress in curbing left-wing terror, offering hope for lasting peace in Bastar.
