Naxal killed in exchange of fire with security forces in Chattisgarh's Bijapur

This area, which once lived under the shadow of Naxal influence, is now moving rapidly towards peace, development, and rehabilitation.

Two Maoists were killed in an encounter with the security forces near the Indravati River area in Chhattisgarh on Thursday. Several weapons, including an SLR rifle, an INSAS rifle, and a 12-bore rifle, along with explosives, were recovered. The operation was launched based on intel about the Maoist presence in the area.

Ensuring electricity to Gogunda is not just a facility, but the beginning of a social transformation. Bijapur Collector Amit Kumar noted that since the Forward Operating Base was established, basic infrastructure has been steadily developing in the area. For instance, a road has been constructed in the village. Additionally, the electricity line has also been extended in the former Naxal stronghold.

The injured personnel was immediately shifted to a higher medical centre for advanced treatment, a senior police officer said.

The security forces demolished a total of four Maoist memorials constructed in the jurisdictions of Farsegarh and Tarrem police stations on Friday.
