Raipur, Sep 29: In a major breakthrough in the ongoing anti-Maoist operations, security forces have recovered a substantial cache of explosives, Naxalite literature, and combat equipment from the dense Kodliar Michingpara forest in the Abujhmad region, said officials on Monday. The operation, conducted under the jurisdiction of Kohkameta police station, marks a significant stride toward the goal of making Narayanpur a Naxal-free district. The de-mining and search operation was carried out by the District Force, the “B” Company of the ITBP 53rd Battalion, and the District Bomb Disposal Squad (BDS) deployed in Kutul. The seized items suggest that the Maoists were preparing to target security personnel and civilians through planted explosives. Authorities reiterated their commitment to eradicating Maoist influence from Narayanpur district and praised the coordination between various security units.
