Security forces in Gadchiroli destroyed two Maoist memorials located in the dense forest areas of Mouza Katezari and Marma, under the jurisdiction of Katezari police station in Gadchiroli. The memorials, which were erected two to three years ago, were razed during a joint operation by Gadchiroli police and State Reserve Police Force (SRPF) personnel. The structures, seen as symbols of Maoist violence and intimidation, were inspected first by the Bomb Detection and Disposal Squad (BDDS) before being demolished. In its place, Gadchiroli police planted tree saplings, sending a message of peace and security to residents.
